A new open beta means users can use the xCloud website to stream games directly, using Microsoft Edge, Chrome, or Safari on PCs or mobile device to start playing hundreds of games from the Xbox Game Pass library. Bringing xCloud to iOS devices has been a troubling task for Microsoft, due to Apple’s App Store policies, as having a streaming store in an app would allow companies to bypass Apple’s in-app purchases and stop them from receiving the 30 per cent cut the smartphone giant claims is necessary to keep the store functioning. “In addition to the App Store, developers can choose to reach all iPhone and iPad users over the web through Safari and other browsers on the App Store”, Apple’s policies say, although gaming on iPhone devices through the browser is uncommon, Microsoft argued. Windows 11 will come with a new Xbox app, and the company quietly announced that it will be making streaming sticks that would allow gamers to play “on any TV or monitor” earlier this month.
