Xbox Game Pass Will Support xCloud This Year--Here's Why That's A Big Deal

Microsoft's Xbox Game Pass subscription service--which features a catalog of more than 100 games and growing--will be added to the xCloud streaming service later this year.

In a blog post today, Xbox boss Phil Spencer confirmed the news. "Later this year our cloud game streaming technology, Project xCloud, will come to Game Pass--so you and your friends can stream and play the games you love together on your devices," he said.

This news is not altogether surprising, given that Microsoft announced in November 2019 that game-streaming from the cloud was coming to Xbox Game Pass.
