I have been unable to get this to work with Firefox. Of course, Microsoft advertises their Edge browser as being compatible, but Chrome, as well as any other Chromium-based browser, should work. I also would like to emphasize the fact that the service is currently in beta phase, and I’ve no idea when it will come out of said phase. I should note you need to have the Ultimate edition of the game pass in order to use through your browser. Subsequent charges after the first three months is $15/month, but you can cancel any time before then (seems like a relatively painless process). You’ll also need to enter your residential address. You will need a credit card to sign up, as Microsoft will charge $1 (plus tax) upfront for the first three months that you have Game Pass. How does it work? Well, if you haven’t created a Microsoft account already, create one. Initially a invitation-only campaign, any user who creates a Microsoft account can now use Game Pass. That means even Linux and Chromebook users can reap the benefits of playing any game available on Xbox Game Pass through their browser.
Microsoft announced earlier this week that, in addition to Windows 10, Xbox consoles, and smartphones/tablets, the Xbox Game Pass is now available through Chrome/Chromium-based web browsers. It hasn't released an Xbox app for the system (or Linux) as yet, but the company has published a guide that should help you set up the service on Steam Deck.If you’re frustrated with the burdensome process of trying to obtain a ninth-gen console ( or gpu!) due to the silicon shortage that just never seems to go away, Xbox Game Pass for PC could be your ticket out of that hassle. Microsoft is eager for Steam Deck users to access Xbox Cloud Gaming.
Microsoft and Meta are bringing it to Meta Quest 2 headsets as well.
According to CohenJordan, the good news is that, if you use a browser to access Xbox Cloud Gaming on any device ( such as iOS), you should have a more consistent experience.Īlong with Linux and ChromeOS, Xbox Cloud Gaming (which is still in beta) works on Xbox consoles, smartphones, tablets, computers and some smart TVs. It should run more smoothly as well.Īs spotted by Windows Central, an Xbox employee who goes by CohenJordan wrote on Reddit that the update marks the end of a transition to a different type of streaming tech, though they didn't explain exactly what that entails. The game-streaming service should be available at a higher resolution on those platforms. Folks who access Xbox Cloud Gaming through a browser on ChromeOS and Linux systems (including Steam Deck) will likely now have an improved experience.
