Previously, Xbox Cloud Gaming could only be used to stream games that were included in Game Pass. As promised, Microsoft has now fired the starting signal for streaming its own, purchased games. There are 50 games available to start with.
Anyone who has purchased one of the games from the list below can now stream it to all devices on which Xbox Cloud Gaming is available. These are smartphones (via browser), tablets and PCs as well as televisions, provided you have a supported Samsung device or a supported Amazon Fire TV.
However, the access requirements remain unchanged: In order to have access to cloud gaming, a Game Pass Ultimate membership is necessary, which costs 17.99 euros per month.
