Microsoft’s xCloud, the new cloud game streaming component a part of Xbox’s Game Pass Ultimate, has officially launched for iOS devices like iPhone, iPad, and macOS. The xCloud doesn’t require the use of a console and the PC version can be accessed through the Edge Browser and Google Chrome. With over 100 games available to play, Game Pass Ultimate holders will be able to have access to many beloved titles. Another feature of the xCloud is that the service is compatible with Bluetooth controllers and USB controllers. On iOS devices, the xCloud can be accessed through web-based apps like Safari. Players will get to choose to have a controller or touch controls for different games. With xCloud being powered by a custom Xbox Series X console hardware, setting streams to 1080p at up to 60 frames per second can be achieved for those with fast internet connections.
Starting today, Xbox Cloud Gaming is running on custom Xbox Series X hardware, and available to all @XboxGamePass Ultimate members with Windows 10 PCs and Apple phones and tablets, via browser, across 22 countries. https://t.co/HYuvbHGBUg#XboxGamePass

Stuttering audio/animation on Mac. Hello, I’ve been trying to use Xcloud to play games on my Macs, but the audio and video stutter so badly as to make gameplay and even menu navigation impossible.

Here’s how to get everything set up: Press the Xbox button on your controller to turn it on. Press and hold the Connect button atop the controller for three to five seconds to enter pairing mode.

Project xCloud was the name of our public technology preview for cloud gaming that began in September 2019. After gathering feedback from players from around the world during the preview, we built the technology into Xbox Game Pass Ultimate so you can play over 100 Xbox console games on the devices you already have, directly from the cloud.

Cloud gaming is said to provide gamers with seamless play across all of their devices–whether your streaming from your PC or mobile device, your game will be playing from an Xbox hardware in a Microsoft datacenter. This essentially means that players will be able to jump into a game, play with friends on the go or on their PC while using the same Xbox network as their console.
On Xbox’s blog, the company stated that the gameplay on iOS devices and macOS will be just as powerful as playing on a console, as they ensure that xCloud users will experience fast load times, improved frame rates, and a high-quality experience. This key milestone to the Xbox experience is allowing gamers to bring the console experience directly to the devices they use daily.

Microsoft had to abandon its original plans to let people play xCloud games on iPhones and iPads via an iOS app, the same way it does on Android (above photo), but is reportedly “very close” to a public preview of a web-based workaround.
The project shouldn’t be confused with the iOS Xbox app, which lets you stream games from your own Xbox to your phone. xCloud, in contrast, lets you stream games directly from Microsoft servers.
Microsoft employees are said to be testing the approach, with a public preview described as “very close” …
Background
Microsoft’s original plan was an iOS app, and it made a TestFlight version available almost a year ago to the day.

While the preview is limited to Halo: The Master Chief Collection Microsoft eventually plans to bring all 3,500+ Xbox games to the service in the years ahead.
We found that the app showed a lot of promise, but things came to a shuddering halt when Apple’s strict App Store policies meant it was no longer feasible. Apple wanted to be able to individually approve every one of the 3,500 games available through the service.
Microsoft expressed its displeasure at Apple’s stance, but didn’t give up. We first heard in October of last year that the company had instead started working on a web-based approach, in which games are played in a browser.
