💍 Titles like Elden Ring, Soul Hackers 2, and GTA 5 have been spotted
🔜 Microsoft announced that it would be expanding Xbox Cloud Gaming support beyond Game Pass titles last June
It looks like Xbox Cloud Gaming is getting a massive update soon. Adverts for Elden Ring, GTA 5, and Soul Hackers 2 have been spotted online, suggesting that Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers who own these titles can stream them via the cloud in the future.
In June, Microsoft announced it was working on allowing Game Pass Ultimate members to play select games they already own from the cloud. Currently, you can only stream games that are part of the Xbox Game Pass catalog, so this change would significantly expand Xbox Cloud Gaming’s appeal.
An official announcement could take place during Gamescom 2022, which takes place from August 24 to August 28. A white Xbox Elite Series 2 Controller could also be revealed after an unboxing video was shared online.
👉 These are the best Xbox Series X accessories
Microsoft has started testing an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate family plan, which lets you share the benefits with up to three people. The service is also now available on new Samsung TVs, allowing you to play Xbox Series X games without a console. When you consider the Xbox Series X price is $499 and Xbox Game Pass Ultimate costs $14.99 a month, that’s quite the value proposition.
Xbox Cloud Gaming isn’t just restricted to Samsung TVs, of course. It works across several devices, including Xbox consoles, PC, tablets, and mobiles, making it a great way to play.
Speaking of value, Microsoft’s more affordable console, the Xbox Series S, is getting a performance boost thanks to new dev tools. The Xbox Series X|S continues to break records for Microsoft, and a large part of that success comes from the cheaper Xbox Series S.
