The Xbox Game Pass Cloud Gaming is on the horizon for PC and iOS devices and could be implemented soon, according to the Cloud Gaming team. Get ready to stream these games, no matter where you are or what device you use.
Xbox Cloud Gaming – or Project xCloud, as it was previously known – is currently available for Android devices, but iOS and PC users are missing out on the feature so far. Due to conflicts with Apple’s App Store policies, Xbox Cloud Gaming could not be used as an application in the same way as on Android. Microsoft, however, decided that it could create an alternative solution: a browser-based version of the service.

Microsoft has released an official step-by-step video for the Cloud Gaming service, in which Xbox Cloud Gaming corporate VP Kareem Choudhry and engineering VP Kevin Lachapelle give us some insight into how the project was created. During the video, Lachapelle discusses Xbox Cloud Gaming coming to iOS and PC earlier this year. “I’m not going to give specific dates, but it’s not far,” he says. The subtle wink at the end is something Phil Spencer could learn from when he’s sparking future projects – it was so subtle, we almost missed it.
