One more step for cloud gaming...
Xbox Cloud Gaming is now available through the Xbox PC app for Xbox Insiders, Microsoft has declared.
Prior to this change, Xbox Insiders could use Xbox Cloud Gaming on PC via a browser. This new change does away for the need of a browser and sticks the functionality back inside Microsoft’s dedicated app.
“With Xbox Cloud Gaming, you can turn all types of PCs into a gaming device, from brand-new budget computers to older machines with low specs,” wrote Microsoft’s James Beaumont.
“All you need to do is connect a compatible controller via Bluetooth or USB, launch the Xbox app, click the “cloud games” button, select your game and start playing. We’ve also added some new features to help you get started, including easy-to-access information on controller and network status, social features to stay connected with friends, and the ability to invite people – even those also playing on cloud without the game installed – to join you in a game.”
Sadly, those here in Australia aren’t able to take part in this testing phase, though Microsoft has promised that we’ll receive Xbox Cloud Gaming proper sometime this year. We’ll keep you informed as we learn more.
