Access to cloud gaming is becoming easier for Xbox fans as Microsoft expands Xbox Cloud Gaming to Game Pass Core and Standard subscribers. Until now, this feature was reserved for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate members. With this update, more players can enjoy streaming their favorite games without needing high-end consoles or PCs, making gaming more accessible and affordable.
Previously, Xbox Cloud Gaming was limited to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, which cost more than the lower tiers. Microsoft is now rolling out this feature to Core and Standard subscribers through an Xbox Insider test. This change allows more gamers to explore cloud-based titles and enjoy flexibility in how and where they play. With Xbox Cloud Gaming, subscribers can access their favorite titles on multiple devices, including smartphones, tablets, and PCs.
By expanding Xbox Cloud Gaming to lower-tier subscriptions, Microsoft is adding more value to Game Pass Core and Standard plans. Subscribers will now be able to stream select cloud-enabled games included in their library or games they already own digitally. This move strengthens the appeal of the more affordable subscription tiers, making them a great entry point for players who want to experience next-gen gaming without paying for Ultimate.
Microsoft is also bringing some PC games into the mix for Core and Standard members as part of this expansion. This means subscribers will have access to a growing collection of games that can be streamed directly to their devices without installation. For players who want instant access and portability, this feature creates a smoother, more convenient way to enjoy gaming across platforms.
The decision to expand Xbox Cloud Gaming to Game Pass Core and Standard subscribers signals Microsoft’s long-term vision for cloud-first gaming. By reducing barriers to entry and making streaming accessible at lower price points, Xbox is positioning itself to attract a broader audience. As more players gain access, the ecosystem becomes richer, paving the way for a stronger, more inclusive future in gaming.
