Our mission at Xbox is to enable you to play the games you want with the people you want, wherever you want. Simply put, we believe that games have the power to connect humanity and it is our mission to make gaming more accessible to people around the world.
As we shared late last year, we’re bringing Xbox to more gamers on more devices via the cloud this year. Starting tomorrow, we’ll be sending out invitations to selected Xbox Game Pass Ultimate members to try the limited beta version of Xbox Cloud Gaming for Windows 10 PCs and Apple phones and tablets via web browsers. We’re launching xbox.com/play, where invited people can play over 100 Xbox Game Pass titles using Edge, Google Chrome, or Safari. Offering cloud games through the browser and a simplified, universal landing page is a great opportunity to bring cloud games to more players in more places over time.
The limited beta is our time to test and learn. We will continue to send out more invitations to the players 22 countries supported, rate the feedback, continue to improve the experience, and support additional devices. Our plan is to iterate quickly over the coming months and open up to all Xbox Game Pass Ultimate members so that more people have the opportunity to play Xbox in a whole new way.
Those who receive an invite just need a compatible Bluetooth or USB controller, or can use custom touch controls for 50+ games to start playing and testing. In the early stages of the beta, we focus on fine-tuning the features and creating a consistent experience across all platforms while making sure the games are performing at their best. For more information on gaming, an updated list of supported devices, and release notes, see our support hub

This is an exciting step in our journey to bring gaming to 3 billion players around the world. Thank you for helping us create cloud games from the early days in Preview to today. Without you, we simply couldn’t have done it.
