Microsoft Is Apparently Working On Some Big Improvements To Xbox Cloud Gaming

Xbox Cloud Gaming is becoming a major part of Microsoft's games business these days, especially as it continues to expand Xbox as a platform, and some new information from Windows Central hints at how the tech could improve drastically in the near future.

Tucked into a big old predictions piece about Xbox in 2025, reporter Jez Corden dropped some interesting details about what's next for Xbox Cloud Gaming. According to the site, Microsoft is working on "things like 4K streaming, higher bitrates, PC game support, and more buy-to-own Xbox cloud games". Corden went on to say that "Microsoft is also allocating more silicon to meet demand for Xbox Cloud Gaming", suggesting that the program continues to grow in popularity.

Towards the end of last year, Microsoft finally started adding titles outside of the Xbox Game Pass library to its streaming platform, with 50 games initially making the jump. It's no surprise to see reports of this expanding in future, and we welcome as many games as possible to the service.

As for the other little upgrades in here, better quality streaming is always something we're interested in, but PC game support would be a massive one too. These days, Microsoft's PC Game Pass library is very impressive, and we'd love for the opportunity to stream some of those PC exclusives to other devices. Time will tell if and when these upgrades for Xbox Cloud Gaming come to fruition.

Thoughts on these reported upgrades, folks? Talk to us about Xbox Cloud Gaming down below.
