The new generation of consoles around the Xbox Series X | S is getting more and more opulent exclusive games. Microsoft also wants gamers on the Xbox One to enjoy these games – in a detour.
In the future you won’t necessarily have to buy an Xbox Series X | S to play the exclusive new generation games. A new console may ultimately be the preferred option for many gamers, but Microsoft wants you to participate in the new generation of games on the Xbox One in the future.
The Redmond-based company has now announced that the expansion of the Xbox Cloud Gaming, which has already been launched on mobile devices, is planned in the near future. This should find its way to the Xbox One and then enable streaming of games for Xbox Series X | S on the older home console. Microsoft announced this on the sidelines of E3.
The message was rather secretly, quietly and quietly incorporated into a review on Xbox Wire for the Xbox & Bethesda Showcase on the occasion of E3 2021, so details are still rare. The mere announcement should satisfy some players, for example, the Microsoft Flight Simulator will be available exclusively for Xbox Series X | S, although it was originally announced for Xbox One as well.
Microsoft’s Xbox website states: “Millions of people on Xbox One consoles are also excited to see many of these next-gen titles, including Microsoft Flight Simulator, playing on consoles via Xbox Cloud Gaming – just like that, as it works on mobile devices, tablets and browsers. “
The expansion of the cloud gaming feature could extend the life cycle of the Xbox One yet again – a full 7.5 years after the original release. In order to use cloud gaming, an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription is required. However, there is no specific start date for the service.
