The Xbox cloud gaming function, which is going to be fully open to all Xbox One and Series X/S users during the Christmas consumption season, was discovered earlier that it has begun testing between a small number of Alpha Skip-Ahead and Alpha Insider. Microsoft expects to expand to more Alpha Insiders and even other types of test users in the next few weeks.
If you are one of the lucky ones to get the test qualification, you will see a small cloud symbol next to more than 100 models that provide cloud play. As long as the Internet is fast enough, these games can be played directly without downloading, which is convenient for you to save storage space, or to see if they are satisfactory before you buy them.
There are still some minor problems with cloud play on Xbox at present, including not being able to choose to play original games without DLC enabled, in-game purchases (but you can purchase through consoles or online stores), and if you have ever been on an external hard drive If you have installed a game and the hard drive is not connected to your Xbox, you cannot start the cloud version of the game. The latter seems to be a very specific problem, but the test is to eliminate these weird bugs.
Even if there are no people participating in the test program, Xbox’s cloud gaming should not be far away. After all, it is almost October, and it will be within three months at most to catch up with the Christmas consumption season. What’s more, Microsoft should hope that it will be launched together with “The Last Battle: Infinite”, and each other will boost its momentum.
