Xbox Head Phil Spencer Doesn’t Like “Expansions That Are Manipulative”
“I want it to have a unique point of view. I don’t want it to be, like, the third level that you cut before you launched.”
The list of games mentioned on the officialXboxwebsite include hits such asBaldur’s Gate 3,Cyberpunk 2077,Hades,Star Wars Outlaws,The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt,Undertale, andWarhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2.
How Does Xbox Cloud Gaming Work?
Additionally, a compatible Bluetooth controller is required to play the games. Luckily, the base Xbox One or Xbox Series X/S controller is compatible with pretty much everything, so it’s all anyone needs for streaming games.
“This is just the beginning. Next year, we’re excited to bring this feature to Xbox consoles and the Xbox app on Windows.”
As is the case with all streaming video games, a fast Internet is all but required to make them playable. This isn’t as much of an issue with turn-based games, but anything in real-time will absolutely need fast Wi-Fi.
Death Stranding Xbox Series X|S Version Launches Today
Death Stranding: Director’s Cut has shadowdropped on Xbox Series X|S today, and at a discounted price for a limited time.
While the current library of titles is small, Microsoft has assured fans that it will continue to grow over time, giving access to more games outside of the first-party sphere.
The advert for Xbox Cloud Gaming promoted being able to play big games like Baldur’s Gate 3on mobile devices, which is an impressive claim.
The problem is that not all games were meant to be played on smaller displays. A highly detailed graphical powerhouse or a game with a busy UI will struggle on a smaller screen.
Despite this, the expanded library ofXbox Cloud Gamingis long overdue, and actually giving players full access to their owned titles will be a huge incentive to choose the higher Game Pass tiers.
