Xbox Game Pass continues to expand and a new partnership introduces the virtual reality service. Explanations.
Meta’s Connect keynote was an opportunity for the company (Facebook for the alumni) to unveil their plans for the future, including a partnership with Xbox in Game Pass. Because yes, Microsoft wants its service to be available everywhere. Similar to Bethesda with Skyrim.
So Satya Nadella, the general manager of Microsoft, came personally to announce that theThe Game Pass should be integrated into the Meta Quest headsets, more precisely the cloud gaming part. So after the integration of our smartphones, our tablets, our PCs, our consoles and our networked televisions the Game Pass is offered directly in the Meta Quest Store. Obviously this information needs to be measured, as it absolutely doesn’t mean Xbox Game Pass games are suddenly going to VR. It will mainly be about being able to play it via the helmet’s cinematic mode.
Also, not all XGP games are compatible with cloud gaming and you need to have an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription for $12.99 a month anyway. Good news that still has its limits.
XThe Cloud Gaming Box lets you stream hundreds of high-quality games to a range of devices, and that includes Meta Quest 2 in the future
So far, neither Microsoft nor Meta have announced a release date for all of this.
