Microsoft’s Xbox Cloud Gaming was officially launched on Android last September, and now finally the company’s one of the most extravagant services is here with its full glory on Apple’s devices. The service is released as a Progressive Web Application (PWA) and is now available to players across all flavors of Apple devices. What they need are only a Bluetooth (or MFi) controller and a steady internet connection.
So here’s what you can do to get right into the Xbox Cloud Gaming on iPhone and iOS. Firstly you need to get yourself a Game Pass Ultimate membership to take advantage of the newly launched software suite. Microsoft is offering your first three months of Game Pass Ultimate for $1.
We’re also making significant improvements to the overall experience: Xbox Cloud Gaming is now powered by custom Xbox Series X hardware. We’ve been upgrading Microsoft datacenters around the globe with the fastest, most powerful Xbox hardware to give you faster load times, improved frame rates, and an experience of a new generation of gaming. To ensure the lowest latency, highest quality experience across the broadest set of devices, we will be streaming at 1080p and up to 60fps.
Earlier Microsoft announced that it will be improving on the hardware of its cloud service, and it seems like the company is coming true with its promise of upgrading the backbone of the cloud gaming service with more powerful hardware. And it’s not just the Apple users, but also the Xbox Cloud Gaming is now available to all Xbox Game Pass Ultimate users on PC.
Just like the iOS implementation, the PC one is also based on browsers, and Microsoft announced that it’s working to add Xbox Cloud Gaming directly into the Xbox app on PC. For now, PC users can use Edge or Chrome to play their games.
