- While Game Pass and Game Pass Ultimate do offer some games that aren’t available on xCloud gaming (meaning you have to download them to an Xbox console), xCloud does not require an Xbox at all.
- So starting today, Microsoft says Xbox Cloud Gaming will be available to all Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers on Windows PCs, iPhones, and iPads in 22 different countries. As part of Microsoft.
- Cloud Gaming with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, formerly known as Project xCloud, makes it possible to play any game from its extensive library on Android devices; all you need is the Game Pass app from the Samsung Galaxy Store or the Google Play Store, a subscription to Game Pass Ultimate, a controller, and a decent internet connection (most home.
- For those who aren’t familiar, Microsoft’s xCloud is a cloud gaming service, which allows subscribers of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate to play more than 150 games on Android devices over a data connection at no additional cost. For now, there is no Bluetooth, keyboard, mouse or touch screen support. Check out the video below to see what you need.
After several months of limited beta testing, Microsoft today is officially launching the public and open beta of its new Xbox Cloud Gaming Platform. This includes support in Safari on iPhone and iPad for playing a subset of Xbox Game Pass games by streaming them from the cloud.
As first announced in an Xbox blog post, Microsoft has officially debuted its new Xbox web interface for accessing the public beta of Xbox Cloud Gaming. The website touts that you can play “over 100 high-quality console games” directly in your browser with an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription and a compatible controller.
An Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription costs $14.99/£10.99 a month and, as well as the hundred+ games available through Cloud Gaming, you get access to more than 200 games to download on Xbox.
