xCloud Available for Game Pass Ultimate Subscribers [Updated]
From today, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers can use the xCloud service on Android mobile devices.
From now on, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers can test xCloud in early access. This enables them to run selected games in the cloud on Android mobile devices. It is worth knowing that this feature was supposed to be enabled at 6:00 AM PT. The number of available games has been limited for the time being (from over 100 to 40), but this is undoubtedly an ideal opportunity for the players to see if Microsoft's cloud gaming will actually turn out to be something worthwhile.

- A Plague Tale: Innocence
- Absolver

It is also worth mentioning that some time ago Microsoft decided to rename its streaming service from 'xCloud' to 'Cloud gaming'. In many places, including official ones, you will still find the old name, so we still use it in this message.
To run the xCloud service we need an Android device in version 6.0 or later with the mobile Xbox Game Pass app installed (and of course the Ultimate subscription). We also need a good internet connection (10 Mbps) and a compatible Xbox wireless controller to play.
Microsoft's service will officially debut on September 15, this year on 22 domestic markets. More than 100 titles will be available for the players, as well as special devices to make playing on mobile equipment easier. We will receive, among others, Razer Kishi and MOGA controllers.
