Xbox Cloud Gaming (Project xCloud)
Xbox Cloud Gaming (developed under the codename "Project xCloud") is Microsoft’s gaming service that lives on the internet. Despite its name, you don’t need an Xbox console to use the service. xCloud, on the other hand, is more of an add-on to Xbox Game Pass that lets me play games that I already own or ones that are included as part of the subscription.
Xbox Cloud Gaming Availability
We’re excited that Xbox Cloud Gaming (Beta) is now available on Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S consoles with a Game Pass Ultimate subscription. We are launching in 25 regions with Brazil coming soon. For Xbox One users, cloud gaming also allows you to play some next gen games on the Xbox One console you already own.
