Xbox Game Pass is built into the Xbox app on Windows 11. Microsoft announced during E3 last week that it is finishing up a transition to Xbox Series X hardware in the Azure data centers that support Xbox Cloud Gaming, and that it is working on bringing Xbox Cloud Gaming to Xbox One. (Xbox Cloud Gaming is currently available on PC, but only through a web browser.) The integration will allow people to “play the highest-fidelity games on all PCs,” Bond said. The Xbox app will also offer Xbox Cloud Gaming for those who subscribe to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate cloud streaming is not included in the cheaper PC- or console-only tiers of the service. Presenting Windows 11 as “the best Windows ever for gaming,” Sarah Bond, Xbox corporate vice president for game creator experience and ecosystem, appeared on Microsoft’s livestream to announce that Xbox Game Pass will be “built right into Windows 11.” Microsoft has been testing this functionality for many months with a redesigned Xbox app for Windows 10, but clips of the Windows 11 version that Bond showed seemed to indicate a deeper integration. Windows 11, the next version of Microsoft’s operating system, will offer a number of features targeted toward PC gamers, led by Xbox Game Pass directly within Windows’ new Xbox app, Microsoft announced Thursday during its Windows 11 reveal event.
