Microsoft is bringing cloud gaming to Xbox Series X/S and Xbox One consoles this holiday season, the tech giant announced during its Gamescom trade fair on Tuesday, August 24.
With the upcoming feature, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers will have access to over 100 games, which they can stream instead of installing onto their device. These titles are marked with a cloud icon to identify them from the rest that is not cloud gaming-compatible.
According to Engadget, Microsoft is also granting Xbox One owners to play some Series X/S games through the cloud, such as Microsoft Flight Simulator, sometime in the future.
Prior to this announcement, Microsoft has made Xbox Cloud Gaming available on phones, tablets, and PCs. The feature’s expansion to Xbox consoles is a big part of Microsoft’s strategy to attract gamers to its ecosystem.
Apart from consoles, CNBC reported that Microsoft is planning to launch cloud gaming on TVs through partnerships with manufacturers and its own dedicated streaming dongles.
