What's Happening?
Microsoft has officially removed the beta tag from Xbox Cloud Gaming, marking its transition from preview state after more than five years. The service now offers improved streaming quality, with resolutions up to 1440p for select games and devices, exclusively for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers. This upgrade follows previous enhancements that included faster game loading and improved frame rates, thanks to hardware upgrades to Xbox Series X-like blades.
Why It's Important?
The removal of the beta tag and the introduction of 1440p resolution signify Microsoft's commitment to enhancing the Xbox Cloud Gaming experience. This move is crucial for attracting more subscribers to the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, as improved visual quality can enhance user satisfaction and engagement. The expansion of cloud gaming to more Game Pass tiers also broadens access, potentially increasing Microsoft's market share in the cloud gaming sector.
