Xbox Game Pass Cloud Gaming is on hand for PC and iOS devices and could be implemented soon, according to the Cloud Gaming team. Get ready to stream those games no matter where you are or the 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 have missed the feature so far. Due to conflicts with Apple’s App Store policies, Xbox Cloud Gaming could not be used in the same way as an app on Android. However, Microsoft decided to design a solution: a browser-based version of the service.

Microsoft has released an official throughput video for the Cloud Gaming service in which Xbox Cloud Gaming company VP Kareem Choudhry and VP of engineering 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 will not give you specific dates, but it is not far,” he says. The subtle wink at the end is something Phil Spencer can learn to tease future projects – it was so subtle, we almost missed it.
