Xbox Cloud Gaming (xCloud) is Microsoft’s solution to democratize the world of video games. Cloud and network connections are becoming more powerful and good software can take advantage of this to allow us to play demanding titles from less powerful computers. Xbox Cloud Gaming is now coming via a browser on iOS, PC and macOS.

I used to love Sea of Thieves 'couch co-op' in the early days of the xCloud public testing when my most premium option was otherwise Xbox One X, but I put a pause on streaming such games at One S compressed quality when I got used to having a PC w/ an SSD capable of playing SoT at 60fps and eventually a Series X.
Project xCloud is currently in a beta development stage, which in the final version will allow the first phase of over 100 Xbox games on Android mobile phones and tablets, using the cloud streaming service Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. Unfortunately, users Apple will be deprived of this cloud game streaming service, whose testing period should end. To play Xbox console games from the cloud on your device you’ll need the following: i. An active Xbox Game Pass Ultimate membership in a supported region ii. A supported device including Windows 10 PCs, Apple or Android phones and tablets iii. A compatible controller connected via Bluetooth or USB. Select games can be played with Xbox touch controls.

According to Microsoft, we can access xCloud on Windows 10 PCs through Edge and Chrome browsers. In the case of iOS and iPadOS, it will work as a web application through Safari and we will have the option of using a remote control or touch controls in some games.
Another important announcement concerns the performance of xCloud. According to the North American company, their cloud-based video game service is now running on custom Xbox Series X hardware. They have updated their data centers around the world to provide a much better experience in terms of loading time and fps. They promise that with a good internet connection we can play at 1080p and 60fps.
Following the recent introduction of the Xbox app for SmartTV and the “non-smart” TV accessory, this is another giant leap in bringing xCloud into every home. Microsoft’s bet is already taking shape and over the next few years they will reap the rewards.
