Xbox Cloud Gaming Is Now Available on PC and Apple devices

Xbox has confirmed that Xbox Cloud Gaming is now available on PC and Apple devices via web browser for all Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers.

Announced via the Xbox Wire, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers in 22 countries can now access the service by going to Xbox.com/play on the compatible browsers that include Microsoft Edge, Safari, and Chrome with a connected controller. Then you'll be able to access the library of cloud-compatible games like Yakuza Like A Dragon, Minecraft Dungeons, and much more.

Lastly, the company has also confirmed it’s made improvements to the Xbox Cloud Gaming servers which are now powered by custom Xbox Series X hardware. Sadly due to bandwidth constraints, streaming-only goes up to 1080p and 60FPS. However, Xbox promise “going forward we’ll continue to innovate and add more features to enhance your cloud gaming experience.”

I've yet to use the service but plan to in the near future when it's possible to travel, I spend a lot of time at home as of late and i own an Xbox Series X. So it's not something I currently use but it'll definitely will bea service i'll use eventually.

Xbox And Bethesda Announce Joint E3 Games Showcase

Xbox and Bethesda have finally confirmed their plans for E3 2021, where they'll be holding a joint Xbox & Bethesda Games Showcase on Sunday, June 13.

The announcement from Xbox Wire revealed that the broadcast will kick off at 6 PM GMT and promises a 90-minute show "packed with everything you want to know about the epic gaming lineup coming out of this partnership, the incredible games coming to Xbox this holiday, upcoming releases on Xbox Game Pass and more."

What we'll see at the show is currently unknown but Halo characters, Starfield, and some numbers were shown on the image announcing the date.

We can always speculate what will show up, which I'd assume a release date and multiplayer gameplay for Halo Infinite, Starfield finally showing some gameplay and I'd guess a new Forza of some sorts. (most likely the rumored Forza Horizon 5 set in Mexico)

I also think it's a safe bet to say that Psychonauts 2 will show up and might get a release date. There's a possibility we'll get some updates on Fable and Perfect Dark but I think that's dependent on how far those games are in development.

Lastly there’s a ton of studios that have been quiet for some time like Complusion games, Machine Games etc so we could get some surpise announcements like Wolfenstein 3.

I'm pretty excited for the show and think this is the time for Xbox to finally take their shot, i'm worried that they may miss the mark though.
