Project xCloud Arrives Tomorrow on Xbox Game Pass

Project xCloud will launch tomorrow for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, subscribers will be able to take one of the 150 titles featured on the go on Android or play it on an Xbox console. Similar to Xbox Game Pass for consoles and PC, players can expect the library to grow over time, based on the members’ requests.

You will find a fantastic, curated selection of games available in the Xbox Game Pass library, including popular Xbox Game Studios titles such as Tell Me Why, Grounded, Forza Horizon 4, and Battletoads, along with favorites from our content partners like Spiritfarer, Untitled Goose Game, and Destiny 2.

According to Kareem Choudhry, Corporate Vice President, Cloud Gaming at Microsoft, one of the benefits of cloud gaming is that it gives players “more choices in how to play”. Choudhry refers to the Xbox profile being shared on the cloud, this allows players to start a game on a console and resume it on the phone or tablet.

It’s perfect for those times when you want to get in a gaming session while away from home or when your shared TV or console is occupied. With the cloud, a game like Sea of Thieves can transform into a great couch co-op experience with multiple people playing across console, PC, and mobile devices in the same room.

With Game Pass Ultimate, Microsoft expands to the video games market beyond consoles. Subscribers on Android phone or tablet and a supported controller can enjoy the full benefits of the Xbox ecosystem, this includes friends, achievements, parties and voice chat, cloud saves, and the ability to enjoy multiplayer with other gamers, irrespective of whether they are playing on console or via the cloud.

And if you want to enhance your cloud gaming experience, you can order a new Samsung Galaxy device and select the Gaming Bundle at purchase, which includes three months of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and the all-new Power A MOGA XP5-X Plus Bluetooth Controller with an attachable phone clip.

We’ll launch cloud gaming in beta for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate members in 22 countries to ensure stability as we scale the feature to millions of gamers globally. And this holiday, some of the best EA Play games will be available for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate members to play on Android devices via the cloud at no additional charge.

New members can join Xbox Game Pass Ultimate for 1 USD for the first month, then 14.99 USD per month after that, to play games on your phone or tablet, subscribers need to download the Xbox Game Pass app from the Samsung Galaxy Store, or the Google Play Store.
