One of the most critical steps that Microsoft wants to take this year is the possibility of offering to play through Xbox Cloud Gaming on consoles. The function will allow us not to download and install the games on our systems, so only with a stable internet connection will we enjoy the entire Xbox Game Pass catalog.

Now, the company has announced that testing for its implementation has begun on Xbox Series X / S. Members of the Insiders program, specifically those of the Alpha Skip-Ahead and Alpha groups, can now test this functionality. Subscription service titles now feature a cloud icon to highlight this possibility.

From The Verge, we can see in images how the Xbox Game Pass menu for Insiders now looks like. It is also detailed that it can be exchanged to multiplayer modes in an agile way as soon as we receive an invitation. The xCloud integration supports up to 100 titles during testing.

We can play in 1080p resolution and reach up to 60FPS on the screen, so it is not yet designed for 4K formats. The recommendation is to have 15Mbps download for an enjoyable experience.

More news for Insiders

In another section of Xbox Wire, we learned that the Xbox Series X Beta Insiders already have 4K resolution for the console’s main menu, which is only available for Alpha rank. On the other hand, the possibility of activating the Night mode has also been added, which allows you to vary the brightness of the screen and that of the console itself and the Xbox controller.

Meanwhile, yesterday the new generation Xbox consoles were made compatible with Dolby Vision Gaming technology. In addition, have been integrated improvements for Microsoft Edge, the company’s browser.
