One of the main goals of Microsoft with Xbox Cloud Gaming is to allow you to play your video games wherever you want, something they aim to achieve with Game Pass and their advances in the cloud. While many players are skeptical of this possibility given the current limitations, the advancements being made are moving in the right direction. Xbox recently announced that starting in November, players will be able to buy and play Xbox games directly from the official app on Android.
Although this measure directly affects players in the United States, we still have to wait for the decision of the European Union regulators to see if it will be applied to other countries. However, another advancement that Microsoft is benefiting from is that as of November, you will be able to play your Xbox games through the cloud, as reported by The Verge. The company is preparing to expand its streaming capacity for thousands of games that are not available on Game Pass.
Soon you will be able to play your Xbox games through the cloud
This plan within Microsoft is known as Project Lapland, and aims to prepare the Xbox Cloud Gaming servers to stream thousands of video games from the libraries of all players. However, it is important to note that the company will first test it with a few titles in November with users of the Xbox Insider program before expanding it to everyone. The truth is that this feature is 2 years late, the initial plan was to fully support xCloud in 2022.
The reason why we have had to wait so many months to play our Xbox games through the cloud is because Microsoft had to prepare a solid infrastructure for thousands of games. Although currently you can only stream the games available in Game Pass, that will change and expand to thousands of titles, but the truth is that there will be many others that cannot be played through the cloud because publishers will block them, either due to licensing agreements or other requirements.
