Microsoft seemingly upgrading Cloud Gaming blades to Xbox Series X

Now all we need is for the feature to come to Australia proper.

As promised, Microsoft is seemingly in the process of upgrading its Xbox Cloud Gaming blades to Xbox Series X.

Twitter user Klobrille made the discovery recently, noticing that the Cloud Gaming version of Rainbow Six Siege now offered performance options only found within the Xbox Series X iteration of the game.

“It seems like Xbox is rolling out Xbox Series X server blades over at xbox.com/play for selected games,” Klobrille wrote. “I’m playing the Xbox Series X version of Rainbow Six: Siege on xCloud, proof in the pic below (120 FPS option). The game feels great and much more responsive.”

Microsoft hasn’t confirmed the change as yet, with a spokesperson declaring, “we’re continuously testing new features and making improvements to create a better Xbox Cloud Gaming experience. We’ll have more to share soon about the upgrades we’re making to our Microsoft Datacenters.”

Earlier this month, Microsoft confirmed it would bring Xbox Cloud Gaming to PC, consoles and basically anything with a web browser. The news also comes as Microsoft confirmed Australia would be properly admitted into the Xbox Cloud Gaming program later this year.
