Microsoft plans to roll out the ability to cloud stream any Xbox game you own starting next month, according to a new report.
Anyone who owns Xbox Game Pass knows that the cloud streaming option has been around for a while, allowing you to play many games on the service without downloading. It’s a useful way to quickly jump into something to try without the hassle of waiting for a download, although it’s not always the best way to play – given the amount of visual information in Vampire Survivor, you’ll probably want to watch it if you end up watching to multiple pixels, you’re in luck.

But so far, this feature is only available for Game Pass games, except as reported by The Verge. Starting in November, it looks like you’ll be able to cloud stream any game you own on the platform, even if it’s not on Game Pass. Sources familiar with the plans told The Verge that expanded testing of the feature will begin soon, with Xbox Insiders able to try it out in select games next month before expanding to more users and games. Apparently, it plans to support thousands of games, but it’s unclear if all of them will eventually be supported.
The news comes after Xbox president Sarah Bond said earlier this week that Google will have to open up its Storefront to allow other apps to have their own storefronts by November following a court ruling , where you’ll be able to buy and play Xbox games. Android. “The court’s ruling on opening the Google Mobile Store in the U.S. will bring more choice and flexibility,” Bond wrote on his Twitter account. “Our mission is to enable more players to play games on more devices. , so we’re excited to tell you that starting in November, players will be able to play and purchase Xbox games directly from the Xbox app on Android.”
Essentially, it sounds like Xbox is going full steam ahead with its play-anywhere plans, and mobile devices are clearly a big part of those plans. You’ve got to wonder if those newly released Halo games are part of those aspirations.
