    Microsoft’s Cloud Gaming Service Coming to Xbox Consoles

    Microsoft is expanding its Xbox Cloud Gaming service, bringing it to Xbox consoles during the holiday season.

    Xbox Cloud Gaming brings over 100 high-quality games to devices via the cloud. The service is already available on mobile devices, in web browsers and on Windows PCs. Now Microsoft is bringing the service to its namesake: the actual Xbox console.

    “Today during today’s Gamescom 2021 Xbox stream we revealed we’re bringing cloud gaming to Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One this holiday, enabling Xbox Game Pass Ultimate members to play 100+ games right from the cloud and discover new games with the click of a button,” writes Jake Rosenberg, Senior Program Manager at Xbox. “It’s a way for console gamers to play some of their favorite games as quickly as possible, jump into games with friends more easily, and try out Xbox Game Pass titles before installing them.”

    The announcement is a big win for Xbox customers, and the gaming market in general.

  • Microsoft Brings Xbox Cloud Gaming to iOS

    Microsoft Brings Xbox Cloud Gaming to iOS

    Microsoft has brought its much-anticipated Xbox Cloud Gaming service to Apple’s iPhone and iPad.

    Microsoft has been expanding its Xbox gaming platform beyond its namesake console. As part of that endeavor, Microsoft has been working to bring its Xbox Cloud Gaming service to market, as that will enable the widest adoption.

    After a beta in April, for both iOS and Windows 10 PCs, Microsoft has announced the service is now out of beta and available to all Xbox Game Pass Ultimate members.

    Best of all, the company says the experience will be seamless across all devices.

    Cloud gaming provides seamless play across your devices. When you’re streaming games on a PC or mobile device, your game is playing from Xbox hardware in a Microsoft datacenter. This means you can jump into a game, connect with your friends, and play through the Xbox network just as you’ve always done. That’s right, your game saves are just the same wherever and whenever you play, so you can pick right back up from where you left off. 

    Microsoft’s announcement is good news for gamers, and should be a big win for the company.
