Microsoft will add cloud gaming capabilities to the Xbox app and PC. For this reason, players will be able to stream the games before downloading them later this year. This was announced by Xbox in a blog post on Thursday.

“Later this year, we will add cloud gaming directly into the Xbox app on PC and integrate it into our console experience to light up scenarios like try before you download,” Xbox said.

In practical terms, this means that you will be able to try the game before downloading it. And according to Phil Spencer, head of Xbox, this is only part of Microsoft’s commitment to cloud gaming.

Speaking at a pre-E3 press conference (via PC Gamer), Spencer said, “We are the only platform that delivers games to PC, cloud and console at the same time. Others bring console games to PC years later, not just making in. so that people buy their hardware in advance, but then charge them a second time to play on PC. “


Continuing, he said that “with cloud gaming, we now have the ability to bring these fantastic AAA quality games to hundreds of millions of Windows PCs under specs that to date have not been able to play the hit games that everyone has. they see .”

Additionally, gamers may soon be able to experience Xbox titles without actually owning an Xbox. This is because Microsoft is working to bring the Xbox experience to smart TVs, allowing gamers to simply plug in a controller and start playing instead of buying an expensive new system.

If that’s not interesting enough, Microsoft plans to release a first party title on Game Pass every three months. This adds even more value to what is currently the best deal in games.
