GTA 5, Elden Ring and more could be coming to Xbox Cloud Gaming

Several games that aren’t a part of Xbox Game Pass may be coming to Xbox Cloud Gaming.

As spotted by Twitter user @Knoelbelbroet, the Xbox store pages for GTA 5, Elden Ring and Soul Hackers 2 have all received Cloud Gaming Beta logos.

However, when VGC attempted to play the games, we received an error message, suggesting that the labels have been applied early, or incorrectly.

Microsoft confirmed earlier this year it’s 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.

At the time, it said the functionality would be added later this year.

Xbox Cloud Gaming has allowed users to stream their Game Pass games using Microsoft’s Cloud technology for some time, but until now, this has been restricted to games that are part of the Game Pass service.

Earlier this year, Microsoft introduced a significant performance boost for Xbox Cloud Gaming on iOS devices.

“At Xbox Cloud Gaming, we listen to and value player feedback. You asked for a better iOS experience, and as a result, we have brought major performance improvements to all supported iPhone and iPad devices,” it said in an Xbox Wire post earlier this year.

“With these updates, you should have a smoother and more responsive gameplay experience.”

Microsoft is also planning to introduce mouse and keyboard support for Xbox Cloud Gaming. At the moment Xbox Cloud Gaming only supports controllers and touchscreen controls on mobile devices.
