Within the suite of services included in Game Pass, Xbox Cloud has by far the greatest potential for growth and reach. Those who read me regularly already know that I have always advocated that cloud gaming services are an excellent choice (and in many cases the only one) so that we can enjoy a good selection of titles that would be completely out of reach if they could only be installed on the device we want to use them on.
Recent leaks suggest this Microsoft could be planning a big change to Xbox Cloud Gaming: the ability to stream any game in a user’s library, regardless of whether or not it’s available on Xbox Game Pass.. Although no official announcement has been made, several sources close to the company said the feature could begin testing in November with Xbox Insiders. If confirmed, it would put Xbox Cloud in direct competition with NVIDIA’s GeForce Now service, which already offers something similar by allowing gamers to stream titles they own across platforms.
Until now, the main difference between the two services was this Xbox Cloud allows you to stream only a portion of Game Pass gameswhile GeForce Now allows users to access their personal library without the need for installations. If the leaks are true, this new Xbox Cloud feature would remove that limitation, greatly expanding its reach and offering players more flexibility. Here, however, we have to take into account that Microsoft would face a very consolidated service that is highly valued by its users, so it would not be a simple competition.
However, there are many doubts and questions How license agreements will be managed and whether all games will be available for this new feature. According to leaks, some publishers may not offer certain titles due to pre-existing agreements, which would complicate the offering. Still, the ability to expand its Xbox Cloud catalog could be a key point to compete in the growing cloud gaming market.
I remember again, yes, since then Microsoft has not yet officially confirmed this informationit is important to take these details with a grain of salt. Growing interest in cloud gaming services that allow them to reach smartphones, tablets, TVs and other devices where local launch is not possible, and if these leaks are confirmed, the launch of this feature would mark a major change in the direction of Xbox Cloud and direct competition with GeForce Now.
