Rumor has it that Microsoft is considering a cheaper, ad-supported Xbox Game Pass membership tier, but that unfortunately won’t help us here. Rather peculiarly, Fortnite is the only game that doesn’t require an Xbox Game Pass membership, so you can play Epic’s mammoth battle royale over the cloud completely for free. Become a member of Microsoft’s gaming subscription service and you’ll automatically be able to jump onto the streaming platform. Xbox Cloud Gaming can only be accessed through an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription, which costs $14.99 per month. You’ll be able to use them all for streaming. So if you’re still weighing up the Xbox Series X vs Xbox Series S, or have your eyes set on a new gaming rig, don’t worry. For now, it offers a handy way of streaming games and offers a tantalizing glimpse into the future of hardware-free gaming.Įven better, it’s compatible with both new-gen Xbox consoles and PC. The platform is still officially in beta, so isn’t as feature-rich as you might expect of a Microsoft product. Xbox Cloud Gaming is included in every subscription of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, handing you another way of playing many of the best Xbox Series X games. You might even already have access to it. Like any other cloud-based platform, it lets you play on your Xbox console, PC, phone or tablet directly over the internet. Xbox Cloud Gaming isn’t just a forgettable add-on service designed to ride the wave of the latest tech trend, it offers one of the simplest ways of playing some of the biggest games.
Microsoft is betting big on streaming and has already laid out ambitious plans for how it wants to transform gaming as we know it. Google Stadia may be dead and survived only by its controller, but cloud gaming sure isn’t going anywhere.
