Xbox announced at Tokyo Game Show that Xbox Cloud Gaming will launch as part of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate on October 1 in Brazil, Mexico, Australia, and Japan. Players in Japan, Australia, Brazil, And Mexico can now play Xbox Games Pass Ultimate games using the cloud on their portable devices.

By extending Xbox Cloud Gaming to players in Australia, Brazil, Japan, and Mexico, they have enabled over one billion people in 26 countries on five continents to play Xbox Game Pass Ultimate games from the cloud on their portables, TVs, and PCs. Because cloud gaming runs on custom Xbox Series X consoles, this means that games played in the cloud with the Xbox are lower load times and better frame rates for the gaming experience.

Microsoft’s service allows users to play games over the Internet on their PCs, tablets, and smartphones. The flexibility of the whole service is impressive, as service members can play games such as Forza Horizon 5 and Minecraft Dungeon on their iPhones, iPods, and Android phones, as well as on any device on their budget, from laptops to more. This does not require an expensive Xbox and can play some of the best games on any console. Xbox makes the future of mixing the gaming heritage of Xbox with the capabilities of Azure.
