Exciting news for Xbox gamers. According to industry insider eXtas1s, and going from what Phil Spencer has previously said, Xbox Insiders will allegedly soon have the opportunity to play any (supported) title from their personal library via Xbox Cloud Gaming. This much anticipated feature is set to be potentially rolled out in November 2024. Bringing a new level of flexibility and convenience to the gaming experience.
Update: This has now been confirmed by The Verge and Others
Initially only a limited number of games will be supported during insider tests. However, the plan is to rapidly expand the library. With “thousands of titles” expected to be available when the feature becomes accessible to all Game Pass Ultimate subscribers. Well, we assume that it is for Ultimate subscribers only, as that is the only tier with cloud gaming access. But this hasn’t been confirmed.
This development will mark a significant step forward in the evolution of cloud gaming.
Xbox Cloud Gaming: A Game-Changer Compared to Stadia
The upcoming feature allowing Xbox Insiders to play any title from their personal library via Xbox Cloud Gaming is a major leap forward for cloud gaming for Xbox. This development positions Xbox to offer a more comprehensive and flexible experience compared to its predecessor, and our past favorite, Google Stadia.
While Stadia offered a promising glimpse into the potential of cloud gaming. Its closure highlighted some of the challenges and limitations of poor publisher relations at the time. Xbox Cloud Gaming, with its larger game library, deeper integration with the Xbox ecosystem, and Microsoft’s continued support, appears poised to address many of these issues and deliver a more compelling and sustainable cloud gaming experience.
Is this a feature you would use? Personally I, and most of the team, are hoping this comes soon!
