Microsoft recently confirmed it was releasing its cloud game streaming service through the web for iOS devices. Xbox’s Cloud Gaming service will now be available through iPhones, iPads, PCs, and macOS via the web.
The service has been available through an invite-only beta period since April 2021; but now, Game Pass Ultimate subscribers can access games from their devices. You can access the service by visiting xbox.com/play through the Safari browser on an iPhone, Mac, PC, or iPad or using Microsoft Edge or Chrome.
Users who have already subscribed to Microsoft’s Game Pass Ultimate, in one of the 22 countries the cloud gaming service is available, can begin playing any of the over 100 games immediately. The countries that support the service include Austria, Belgium, Canada, Czechia, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Korea, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
