Xbox has announced that its Cloud Gaming program has expanded to console players in Brazil. Previously, cloud content was available on other devices — like PCs, tablets and mobile phones — but not on actual Xbox consoles.
You can now jump in and stream games via your Xbox One or Xbox Series X|S system in the region. The program is still in beta form right now, but anyone can jump in and try it out!
This move allows players to test games prior to installing too, which is great news for those on data caps or players who have slow internet speeds. The Game Pass library only makes this even more beneficial, as you don't always know what to download right out of the gate.
The announcement post also highlights that Xbox One players will benefit even more so here. Some next-gen-only games are available in the cloud, like Microsoft Flight Simulator, so last-gen owners can go hands on with these without the need to buy a new console, which can be extremely expensive in certain regions.
Do you use cloud gaming on console? Is it a useful feature for you? Let us know in the comments.

Tested it last night with Doom Eternal, and was impressed by how well it worked, considering it's in beta. Played The Outer Wilds also, and in this case, I could see some image artefacts, similar to youtube compression, but nothing that compromised the experience. Really, really nice to have it now.
That's a pretty huge new audience to get. Awesome that more people are getting to use it!
That's great news for us Brazilians! I can see myself using it before downloading stuff that I want to play on GP. Especially considering that I've got only an XSS - without any sort of extra memory.
