Microsoft has expanded its Xbox Cloud Gaming service to include Xbox Game Pass Core and Standard subscribers, a feature previously exclusive to the Game Pass Ultimate tier. This expansion allows more players to stream games on various devices without additional cost. The rollout begins with Xbox Insiders, who also gain access to PC versions of select titles, enhancing gameplay flexibility. Alongside this, Microsoft has introduced new features in its August Xbox update, including a cross-device play history that synchronizes recently played games across Xbox consoles, PCs, and handheld devices, now incorporating cloud titles. The update also brings smoother controller navigation within the Xbox PC app and introduces the Gaming Copilot beta for the Windows 11 Game Bar. These developments aim to improve the overall Xbox user experience by broadening access and enhancing cross-platform integration.
