What if soon you didn’t need an Xbox Series X or One to play in front of the TV? This is a possibility that Microsoft is seriously working on.
Microsoft wants to democratize Xbox Game Pass even more via cloud gaming. The American giant is preparing a streaming device that will allow you to play Xbox games directly on a TV. Here is the first information.
Xbox Game Pass right on the TV
Soon it would no longer need an Xbox c onsole to run games. In recent years, Microsoft has shifted its strategy in favor of its flagship service: Xbox Game Pass. Access to the green brand catalog from Windows and smartphones via cloud gaming is now possible. And the Redmond-based company has no intention of stopping.
According to website Dare Beat, Microsoft would develop an HDMI key that you could plug directly into your TV, much like Google’s Chromecast. It would then be possible to access the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate catalog on your TV without using a game console.A novelty that should arrive in the next 12 months and should look like an Amazon Fire Stick or even a small puck American Roku -Streaming box. And like the latter, the Xbox dongle could access movies and series in addition to games.
Xbox games with you everywhere
For the time being no Xbox application will be offered on TVs, Xbox reserves its cloud gaming functionality for tablets, smartphones, PCs and consoles. However, the site claims that Microsoft and Samsung are in talks to integrate the Xbox Game Pass app on their TVs running Tizen OS. She, too, would be expected within a year.
Such solutions would further democratize the use of Xbox Game Pass. As with Chromecast, an Xbox Cloud Gaming key lets you have a compact device that you can take anywhere to access your games. It requires a stable internet connection, of course, and that Xbox Live services aren’t down like this weekend. XGP subscribers and players lost access to their catalog for almost three days.
