Blast Off with Seamless Game Streaming on Xbox: All Your Assets, Anywhere You Go

Xbox Cloud Gaming: The Future of Gaming is Coming

In 2020, Microsoft shook the gaming world by launching Xbox Cloud Gaming, allowing players to stream titles from the Xbox Game Pass library. But there was a catch – not every game was available on Game Pass, putting limits on which titles could be accessed. Now, Microsoft is reportedly planning to change the game (pun intended) by expanding its streaming offerings to include games that aren’t part of Xbox Game Pass, as long as you own them yourself.

The Next Step: Wider Availability

According to The Verge, Microsoft is set to start testing this new option on Xbox Cloud Gaming servers with Xbox Insiders as early as next month. The company has been building towards this moment by upgrading the capabilities of Xbox Cloud Gaming to handle thousands of games. But before rolling out the revamped service to Game Pass subscribers, Microsoft needs to ensure its expanded capabilities can handle the pressure.

Xbox on the Go

In related news, Xbox has confirmed that starting November, players will be able to buy or play Xbox games on Android via the Xbox app. Once the new streaming option is available, purchases on Android will be instantly available to stream on any device you’re using. This means you can enjoy your Xbox games on the go, without being tied to a specific device.

The Future is Bright

Microsoft’s plan to sidestep Google Play and create its own mobile store app will be a game-changer. The initial focus will be on deals and in-game items, before eventually including Microsoft’s own first-party games. This bold move will give the company more control over its ecosystem and open up new opportunities for gamers.
