I could see Nvidia taking advantage of that with GeForce Now also, as well as the Amazon and PlayStation services when they launch. updating iOS Safari in a way that gives it game streaming capability. However, that 'may' be an area where Microsoft and Apple could collaborate on. As for iOS and iPadOS, it depends upon whether the mobile version of Safari can support video game streaming. If Apple doesn't decide to just go ahead and treat a 'Netflix or iTunes for games' service like a, well, Netflix or iTunes for games service, then browser support is how xCloud will get onto Apple devices. Meaning that the final stage will likely be browser support.

So the mobile app was only stage 1, and in fact the Game Pass web site still declares the service to be in a beta state.īringing the cloud service to existing Game Pass PC customers - who already have a Windows 10 app - will come in early 2021 and be stage 2.

So this looks like a staged release to get a product in the wild in time for preorders for XBox X and XBox S (which launch tomorrow). Note that unlike Stadia and GeForce Now - both of which I access on my Chromebooks from time to time - xCloud is not yet available on browser or PC.
