With customized Xbox Series X hardware, Microsoft’s Xbox Cloud Gaming service (xCloud) is now fully supported.
According to Microsoft, an update it recently completed reduces the load times and framerates experienced by gamers streaming Xbox games from the internet.
In recent months, Microsoft has upgraded Xbox Cloud Gaming to 1080p and 60 frames per second streams, but the company has yet to fully utilize the 4K streaming capabilities of the Xbox Series X hardware.
Microsoft wants to distribute Xbox Cloud Gaming beyond mobile devices and browsers, although it’s unclear when that will be possible.
Microsoft is currently developing an Xbox program just for TVs that will let Xbox users stream games without a device. There are also plans for standalone streaming devices that can be connected to a TV (or) monitor, so it makes sense to increase the Xbox Cloud Gaming resolution to meet that TV push.
With recent connections to Xbox dashboards and TVs, Xbox Cloud Gaming has evolved into much more than just a mobile gaming option from its beginnings as a method to play games on mobile devices. We’re still waiting to learn more about Microsoft’s ambitions to bring its xCloud technology to Facebook Gaming, but the company is starting to roll out Xbox Cloud Gaming by incorporating it into its new Xbox web shop.
Microsoft to introduce Xbox Cloud Gaming in Brazil and Australia Soon after finishing a customized Xbox Series X hardware upgrade, the service was extended to Mexico and Japan. 26 countries now offer Microsoft’s xCloud technology, and the company has previously hinted at “additional subscription offerings for Xbox Game Pass.” As a result, additional tiers that have access to Xbox Cloud Gaming may be coming soon.
