Xbox expands Cloud Gaming access

Up until today, you needed to be a Game Pass Ultimate member to access Cloud Gaming. Today, that changes as now members with Xbox Standard and Xbox Core access will be able to access the Cloud Gaming service, as well as stream games they already own using the service.

Microsoft is always looking for ways to make the Xbox experience centered around you, the Xbox team said today in the Xbox Insiders post. PC players aren’t being totally left out here, while those who aren’t Game Pass Ultimate subscribers aren’t getting everything. Select PC games are being made available for streaming to Standard and Core Game Pass subscribers.

Whether you’re gaming on console, PC, or streaming via supported cloud devices, this update broadens your library and makes it easier to jump into your favorite games across more screens.  

If you aren’t part of the Xbox Insider Program yet and want to help create the future of Xbox and get early access to new features, join the Xbox Insider Program today by downloading the Xbox Insider Hub for Xbox Series X|S & Xbox One or Windows PC

If you want even more, you can join Game Pass Ultimate, which provides access to hundreds of games across console, PC, and cloud, day one games, online console multiplayer, and additional benefits like an EA Play membership at no extra cost, in-game benefits across Riot titles, Quests, and discounts on games in the library.
