Rather, Microsoft teamed up with Rainway, a company that you may have heard of for its browser-based PC streaming. Interestingly, Microsoft didn’t rely on its own expertise to bring Xbox Game Pass streaming to the browser. Offering cloud gaming through the browser and having a simplified, universal landing page presents a great opportunity to make cloud gaming approachable to more players in more places over time. We’re launching /play where invitees can play over 100 Xbox Game Pass titles through Edge, Google Chrome, or Safari.
Starting tomorrow, we’ll begin sending out invites to select Xbox Game Pass Ultimate members to start testing the Xbox Cloud Gaming limited beta for Windows 10 PCs and Apple phones and tablets via web browsers. The tech was previously shown off in testing. It would be a little surprising, frankly, if Microsoft opted to support Xbox games on Chromebooks.
It seems like the beta may only be limited to Windows 10 PCs, though.
With Xbox Game Pass streaming in the browser, you’ll be able to play through Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, and Apple’s Safari browser, too. Support for iPhone/iPad is obviously a big deal, but Microsoft is also playing catchup with Stadia, Luna, and GeForce Now by finally offering gameplay via the browser. Microsoft announced the beta today that is set to kick off tomorrow, April 20, on browsers as well as iOS devices. As it teased earlier this year, Microsoft is expanding its xCloud streaming for Xbox Game Pass to Chrome and other browsers, though it’s starting in a “limited beta.”
