Microsoft announced today that its cloud gaming service Project xCloud will be included in its Xbox Game Pass Ultimate membership program.
Xbox Game Pass gives members access to more than 100 PC and console games, for $4.99 to $9.99 a month. The Ultimate package includes both console and PC games, in addition to an Xbox Live Gold membership, for $14.99/month.
“Cloud gaming in Xbox Game Pass Ultimate means your games are no longer locked to the living room,” Xbox chief Phil Spencer wrote in a blog post. “And just like you do with the popular movie and music streaming services, when cloud gaming launches into Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, you can continue your game wherever you left off on any of your devices.”
Project xCloud lets users play high-powered Xbox games such as Halo on their smartphones. xCloud will be coming to Windows 10 as well as the Xbox platform.
The xCloud preview initially opened up to gamers in the U.S., U.K., and South Korea late last year. Microsoft opened up a beta registration to 11 countries in Western Europe in April.
Microsoft will host the livestream on July 23 to reveal more about games for its new Xbox Series X console scheduled to debut this holiday season, including Halo: Infinite.
