US EditionXbox Insiders On Cheaper Game Pass Tiers Can Now Stream More Cloud Games And Access PC Versions of (Some of) the Games They Own
Xbox expands cloud gaming to lower-tier Game Pass subscribers, allowing access to PC versions of select titles and broader device streaming in beta testing.
- Starting today , Xbox Insiders can access the Xbox Cloud Gaming Beta, allowing Xbox Game Pass Core and Standard subscribers to stream cloud games included with their subscriptions.
- Amid sinking Xbox console sales, Microsoft aims to boost subscription numbers as slower console growth earlier this year prompted wider cloud access to reach more players, an executive suggested.
- Core and Standard subscribers can now stream games and access PC versions on consoles, PCs, browsers, Windows handhelds, and the upcoming ROG Xbox Ally, Microsoft said.
- The change narrows tier differences while Xbox Insiders can play some cloud games without the $20 Game Pass Ultimate tier, though Ultimate keeps extras like EA Play and day-one releases.
- Microsoft has also signaled future plans by developing next‑gen Xbox console with AMD while exploring ad-supported free streaming and testing a 'more affordable' teaser soon.
