From the Xbox app on your PC, phone, or tablet, you can boot up a console instance and play hundreds of classic and modern games, courtesy of Microsoft’s servers.įor an older PC, this offloads all of the processing power to the cloud, meaning you can enjoy excellent graphical fidelity without hardcore hardware-only a solid network connection. What is Xbox Cloud Gaming?Īs part of Microsoft's Game Pass Ultimate subscription, Xbox Cloud Gaming is a great solution for gamers on older or mobile hardware or for those looking to reconnect with their console-using friends. When you don't have the power of your full gaming PC available, Xbox Cloud Gaming is here to help. Maybe you want to use your shiny new ROG Flow Z13 in bed, untethered from the shackles of wall power. Or maybe you have a powerful gaming PC, but most of your friends have an Xbox. I personally still get some use out of it (Turbo Golf Racing will get some screen time due to wanting something new to play with friends, I put some decent hours into the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles beat-em-up, and Ori & the Will of the Wisps is on my list for when I get the time), but it’s not the same powerhouse of a service it once was.Picture this: you are the proud owner of a gaming PC that used to slay, but really can’t handle the latest AAA games. A very appealing proposition when you look at the amount of studios Microsoft now owns, but the reality is that with delays and the first-party games they have launched not meeting the expectations of a lot of people, the value isn’t being met there in the eyes of some people either.
The other draw was that first-party Xbox games would be on there day-and-date with their launch. This has unfortunately slowed to a crawl, and the only draw now seems to be the backlog of games already on the service. When it first launched there was so many games on there that almost anybody could find something worthwhile to play, and there was always a decent amount of games being added month to month. One thing to remember is that the Game Pass of now is not like Game Pass was early on.
