Xbox Games Will Be Streamed On TVs Without A Console - But With A Catch

screenrant.com:

Microsoft has announced that it will soon be possible to stream Xbox Game Pass games to Samsung 2022 Smart TVs, without the need for any additional hardware. There have been hints that Xbox Game Pass will receive a streaming stick in the future, bypassing the need for an Xbox console.

Xbox Game Pass offers cloud streaming with its highest-paid tier, allowing players to stream compatible games to PC, mobile devices, and Xbox systems. This process requires a fast and stable Internet connection to pull off, with some game genres being better suited than others. The benefit of cloud streaming is that any computer with an Internet browser can run high-quality games, and players don't need to commit to massive download times for new games. Forza Horizon 5 requires over 100 GB to download, yet someone who is playing the game via streaming can check it out instantly.

All a player needs is a Bluetooth controller and an active Xbox Game Pass subscription, and they'll soon be streaming games as if they had a brand new Xbox console — assuming they have the correct TV.
