Starting November 2024, Xbox Cloud Gaming will reach its full potential with the arrival of the long-awaited feature. In fact, Xbox gamers will finally be able to stream all the games in their library to the cloud, not just Game Pass titles.
This is one of the main promises of Xbox Cloud Gaming: Allow Xbox gamers to stream any game in their library to the cloudand not just titles available on Game Pass.
This feature was supposed to debut in 2022, but in the end, Its publication was delayed for technical reasons. Microsoft has had difficulty designing a cloud infrastructure capable of handling thousands of games, rather than the hundreds currently compatible via Game Pass. Negotiations with some publishers, who requested to sign new operating licenses, also slowed down the process.
But as Phil Spencer announced in February 2024, any game launching on Xbox Cloud Gaming will soon become a reality. According to our colleagues at The Vergee, the manufacturer is currently preparing for the arrival of this anticipated function as part of the Lapland project.
Xbox Cloud Gaming will finally reach its full potential
According to information circulated by American media, Microsoft has prepared its Xbox Cloud Gaming servers to support remote broadcasting of thousands of games. As usual, the Redmond company will first undergo a testing phase. So, Xbox Insider members will be able to experience Xbox Cloud Gaming's new streaming capabilities starting in November 2024before expanding it to include more Xbox users.
As a reminder, this new feature coming to Xbox Cloud Gaming comes at a time when the Xbox app on Android will receive a major change. In fact, since November, Players will be able to play and purchase Xbox games directly from the Xbox app on their Android devices. A small revolution, made possible by a recent court decision. For good reason, Google can no longer force app publishers to use its payment system to make in-app purchases. The end of the abuse of a dominant position that has been denounced for years by other players in the technology space, with Epic Games at the forefront.
