Specifically for Core and Standard subscribers
We’ve got some good news for Xbox Game Pass Core and Game Pass Standard members!
It’s been revealed that both tiers will soon be getting the ability to access Xbox Cloud Gaming, with the official Xbox Wire blog explaining today that “cloud playable games included with [your] subscription” along with “select cloud playable games [you] own” will be part of it.
This essentially means they’re taking away Xbox Cloud Gaming’s exclusivity for the Game Pass Ultimate tier – although for now, only members of the Xbox Insider program will get access through Core and Standard.
“Xbox Insiders subscribed to Xbox Game Pass Core or Standard now have even more freedom to play wherever they are with Xbox Cloud Gaming (Beta). As part of this Insider experience, Xbox Game Pass Core and Standard subscribers will be able to stream cloud playable games included with their subscription or select cloud playable games they own, making it easier to jump in from any supported device.”
That’s not all though! Xbox is also adding “PC versions of select titles” for Game Pass Core and Standard members, “giving you even more flexibility and the choice to play on a PC or Windows handheld”. They’ve yet to say what those exact titles are, but Insiders should soon start to see them in the Game Pass section of the Xbox PC app.
Here’s a bit more about it:
“We’re expanding the ways players can experience PC gaming through Xbox Game Pass. As part of testing, Xbox Insiders subscribed to Game Pass Core or Standard will for the first time gain access to PC versions of select titles, giving you even more flexibility and the choice to play on a PC or Windows handheld.”
So, there we go! It sounds like Xbox Game Pass Core and Standard members are suddenly about to receive a lot more value for money with their memberships, and now we just need to wait for the public rollout in the near future.
Hopefully that won’t be too far away – maybe a few weeks or a couple of months at the most.
