Xbox Cloud Gaming (Beta) is heading to cars...
A new partnership with Microsoft and LG means that Xbox Cloud Gaming (Beta) will head to select vehicles in the near future.
“Through our collaboration with LG Electronics, we are working to integrate the Xbox experience into select internet-connected vehicles, introducing a new way to bring more of what players love about Xbox into more places,” said Microsoft’s Chris Lee.
“With the Xbox built into LG’s webOS Automotive Content Platform… passengers in internet-connected vehicles will be able to stream and play games directly from the Xbox app,” Lee continued. “Game Pass Ultimate members will soon have instant access to hundreds of games including popular titles like Gears of War: Reloaded, Forza Horizon 5, and upcoming releases like Obsidian Entertainment’s The Outer Worlds 2.”
The post also confirms that “an automotive data plan is required to access streaming services”. Users, of course, will also need an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription in order to access Xbox Cloud Gaming (Beta).
Lee tied the announcement into Xbox’s larger “This is an Xbox” marketing campaign.
“Our work with LG is the latest example of Xbox expanding to new places, building on partnerships that already bring Xbox Cloud Gaming to mobile devices, PCs, and TVs,” Lee wrote. “By adding vehicles to the mix, we’re giving players more choice than ever in how they enjoy their games.”
