Microsoft xCloud brings over 100 Xbox games to iPhone, PCs, Android, now rolling out

India Today  

Microsoft’s xCloud gaming is now available on iPhone, iPad, Macs, MacBooks, and PCs for everyone. On Monday, Microsoft announced that its Cloud Gaming service has begun rolling out to compatible devices, and this means that anyone with a device that meets the hardware requirements for xCloud will be able to play Xbox games, obviously, through an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription. You can play Xbox games -- which are a part of the Cloud Gaming category under the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription -- on Microsoft Edge or Google Chrome browser on PC, as well as Macs and MacBooks. Although the streaming is capped at a maximum resolution of 1080p, Microsoft said “we’ll continue to innovate and add more features to enhance your cloud gaming experience.” This could mean that sometime in future, 4K 60fps streaming may come to xCloud. At the time of writing, the Microsoft xCloud gaming service was not available in India, but it is possible Microsoft will bring it for Indian users in the near future, given that Xbox Game Pass Ultimate is available here.
