It’s not exactly clear what happened in this two years interval, though Microsoft likely had to deal with the complexities of licensing games for Xbox Cloud Gaming.

“In 2020 we will enable gamers to stream from the cloud Xbox games that they already own or will purchase,” the exec said at the time “Later this year, it’s our intent to roll out the ability for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate members to play, from the cloud, select games they already own or have purchased outside the Xbox Game Pass library,” the Xbox team said today.Īs you remember, this is actually something that Kareem Choudhry, Corporate Vice President, CVP of Cloud Gaming at Microsoft announced back in November 2019 as being in the Xbox team’s 2020 roadmap. Microsoft said that this new capability will be available later this year, though it won’t initially support the full Xbox game library. Microsoft announced today that its Xbox Cloud Gaming platform will soon allow Xbox Game Pass Ultimate members to play the game they own on any device.
