Aiming To Make Purchased Games Playable via Cloud In 2024!

Story Highlight
  • A select few Game Pass titles are playable through Xbox Cloud Gaming.
  • However, Phil Spencer has promised access to all games in your library through the service this year.
  • Following this statement, purchased games from the Microsoft Store have begun to show up on the service.

As gaming continues to expand, cloud technology is seen as the next big evolution to bring this form of entertainment to the masses. Both PlayStation and Xbox currently offer cloud gaming services, but the latter is looking to take things up a notch soon.

While Microsoft’s cloud gaming is currently quite limited, a recent update on the storefront hints that your entire library will soon be playable via the cloud.

Why it matters: This feature has been promised for many years, making this small but meaningful update quite important for the fans.

As spotted by Windows Club, games purchased from the Microsoft Store are now appearing on the service.

While they are not playable yet, this reflects Microsoft’s progress toward the goal of making them easily accessible in the long run. Previously, Phil Spencer mentioned that this feature would be implemented by the end of 2024.

Looking at the new update, it seems Microsoft’s plans are already in motion. Once implemented, Microsoft should also be able to rapidly improve Xbox Cloud Gaming through extensive feedback from millions across the globe.

In the future, cloud gaming could serve multiple purposes. From becoming the primary source of gaming for many to offering a demo-like experience for hardcore gamers, the technology has a lot of potential.

With over 10 million users, Xbox is well aware of these advantages, leading to the focus on expanding its ecosystem.

While a few games like Fortnite can be played through Xbox Cloud Gaming for the time being, a lot of progress has already been made. Therefore, fans eagerly anticipate further updates from Microsoft.

With a headstart, Microsoft could become the leader in cloud gaming since both PlayStation and Xbox show interest in this market. Users need a strong internet connection to ensure the service performs its best, but future innovations might make these requirements less important for cloud gaming.
