Microsoft Schedules xCloud Support To Hit iOS & PC By Spring 2021

To plenty of users that are already enjoying xCloud since the service’s release back in September this year, the wait for more features and, of course, games are still on the minds of the hundreds that regular the cloud streaming platform. But to users that are not equipped with a Android device is unfamiliar with the service. But do not worry, Microsoft is planning to integrate the service to Apple owners sometime next year.

Xbox lead Phil Spencer disclosed during a closed door meeting that support for iOS will be coming fairly soon as the next year hits. In the same discussion, Spencer also told that PC users can anticipate the same support as well, but a more specified timeframe for that was not mentioned then. That was until the latest Xbox Wire post today which issues that both platforms can expect Xbox Game Pass Ultimate to be incorporated for iOS & PC next year.

Microsoft when touting some records made since the release of the next-generation Xbox Series X|S, the firm presses on when xCloud will hit other platforms.

In Spring 2021, we will take the next step in our journey to reach more players around the world by making cloud gaming as part of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate available on Windows PCs through the Xbox app and browser, and iOS devices through mobile web browser. By adding over a billion devices as a path to playing in the Xbox ecosystem, we envision a seamless experience for all types of players.
