American tech company Microsoft is testing Xbox Cloud Gaming (xCloud) integration with Xbox consoles very soon.
The feature allows users to click play on an Xbox Game Pass game and stream it simultaneously.
The new xCloud integration will allow the Xbox owners to try games before they fully download and potentially demo them before buying in the future, ANI reported from Washington.
More than 100 Xbox Game Pass titles will be available as part of this initial xCloud integration, and Xbox players can even jump into multiplayer games as soon as their friends send an invite.
Previously, Cloud Gaming was available on almost every device besides an Xbox, including Android, Windows 11, and even somewhat controversially iOS via the portal of a web app.
Microsoft will support 1080p 60fps streams of the games through this integration, just like the regular web streams of Xbox Cloud Gaming.
This feature isn’t being positioned as streaming for 4K TVs.
Xbox Insiders in the Alpha Skip-Ahead and Alpha rings will be able to access the xCloud integration initially and the company will expand to other testers over time.
Microsoft has assured that xCloud integration will appear on all Xbox consoles by the end of the year.
