While it will still retain that playing its games within Xbox hardware will remain the true flagship experience, the company intends to bring the Xbox ecosystem to products like smart TVs and streaming sticks.Įven beyond Microsoft's expanding the Xbox ecosystem to non-game console devices, the tech and software mogul also released Xbox Cloud Gaming on its own consoles last year. Nevertheless, Microsoft has made it clear that it has been all-in on gaming within the last year. Last October, the service is now fully powered by custom Xbox Series X hardware, though you still cannot stream games on the service in 4K. Xbox Cloud Gaming launched nearly two years ago, and since then, Microsoft has been rolling out many meaningful updates to improve the experience. We even pointed out some issues such as latency in our review and noted that it felt pretty rough. So if you are playing the service on an Apple device, you will need to play it on a web browser like Safari on these devices which have their own issues as it is not a dedicated app experience. Unfortunately, there is no dedicated app on Apple devices like there is on Android devices due to Apple's app store policies, though this policy also impacts other cloud gaming services such as Nvidia's GeForce Now and Google Stadia, too. Remember, the game is streaming to your device from an Xbox server somewhere, so you may experience stuttering or lag if your internet connection isn’t strong enough.Įnjoy diving into a vast selection of games that even the most powerful iPhones wouldn’t normally be able to play.Microsoft released Xbox Cloud Gaming on Apple devices nearly a year ago.
