xbox cloud gaming

Xbox Cloud Gaming is a Microsoft service that allows users to stream and play hundreds of Xbox console games on various devices without needing a physical console. Initially launched for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers, it has expanded to include Game Pass Core and Standard tiers, providing broader access to cloud-based games and some PC titles. Supported devices include Windows PCs, Android and Apple phones and tablets, Xbox consoles, certain smart TVs, Amazon Fire TV, VR headsets, and more. The service requires a compatible controller, a high-speed internet connection (minimum 10 Mbps for mobile devices and 20 Mbps for consoles/PCs), and a supported browser if playing on xbox.com. Xbox Cloud Gaming offers multiplayer functionality and cross-device game progress synchronization. The game library includes titles like Halo: The Master Chief Collection, Forza Horizon 5, and Fortnite, with plans for ongoing expansion. Microsoft is also exploring more affordable and ad-supported versions of the service for the future.
