Xbox Cloud Gaming Mac Os

Microsoft released a beta of their web-based xCloud game streaming service recently. It would seem that this version of the service will work with any web browser that supports WebRTC, so let’s see how that works.

Xbox chief Phil Spencer reportedly told employees that Microsoft will bring xCloud to iPhones and iPads via a “direct browser-based solution.' Apple’s latest M1 MacBook Air, MacBook Pro. Microsoft xCloud Rolled Out to iOS and macOS. Microsoft’s xCloud is a cloud streaming element of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. Users do not need a console to play the more than 100 games which are.

Can I Play Xbox On My Macbook Pro

I decided to plug an Xbox controller into the USB port of my Pinebook Pro running Manjaro Linux and the open-source Chromium web browser.

If you have an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription, you can try the new beta web-based streaming service at Xbox.com/Play as well. The system requirements say that you need a Windows 10 PC or an Apple iOS 14+ device, but… guess what… Linux works, too.

Of course, you’ll also want a high-speed 10Mbps+ internet connection for the streaming, and an Xbox controller plugged in via USB or paired via Bluetooth. Microsoft mainly built this version because Apple won’t let them make a game streaming app for the Apple App Store, so the web-based method is a workaround for that. The bonus is that this web-based version happens to work with a lot of other platforms too.

This Pinebook Pro has extremely low specs by the way. It’s a six-core, 1.4GHz, Pine64 ARM processor with only 4GB of RAM and 64GB eMMC storage. If that was running Windows 10, everything would be laggy!

See below for how Xbox Game Streaming actually works on this very inexpensive Linux laptop running Manjaro XFCE Linux.

As you’ll see, the simple games work quite well, while more action-oriented games are probably going to need a bit more processing power on the client-side. Outriders worked ok, but there was certainly some latency, and Halo 5 Guardians turned out to be practically unplayable.

The saga of cloud-based game streaming services on Apple’s iOS platform hasn’t been a smooth one. After claiming that services like Microsoft’s xCloud and Google’s Stadia violate App Store policies, Apple finally extended an olive branch with a few caveats that have been the bone of contention all along. While xCloud went live for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers last month with a library of over 150 games, it is only available on Andriod devices, and not iPhones or iPads. However, Microsoft reportedly has a workaround via a web-based approach to bringing xCloud on the Apple hardware.

As per a Business Insider report, Xbox chief Phil Spencer told employees during an all-hands meeting that Microsoft plans to bring xCloud to iPhones and iPads via a “direct browser-based solution.” And the company has reportedly set a target of 2021 to accomplish that goal.

“We’ll end up on iPhones, and iPads with Game Pass,” Spencer was quotes as saying by The Verge. Microsoft has reportedly been working on this web-based solution for iOS and iPadOS, as it developed the dedicated app that was supposed to appear on the App Store. While both companies have engaged in some back and forth over the situation in the past weeks, Spencer clearly said in a CNBC interview that the company is determined to offer xCloud on all mobile platforms, and that includes iOS as well.

Another major news is that after bringing xCloud to mobile devices, the company also plans to bring it to PCs as well. As per The Verge, the company has started testing a preview version of xCloud for Windows 10 and has already made it available to all Microsoft employees. The service will work via a new Xbox Game Streaming app for Windows 10 that will be made available via the Microsoft Store, and the requirements to enjoy it will be the same as its mobile version viz. a Bluetooth Xbox One controller, a Microsoft account, and a sufficiently fast internet connection.
