Users can join the Xbox Insiders program and use xbox.com/play or the Xbox app on Windows to try the features.
Microsoft is expanding its Xbox Cloud Gaming technology to Xbox Game Pass Core or Standard subscribers, dropping the requirement for the highest tier Xbox Game Pass Ultimate for access to cloud games. As part of an Xbox Insider test, Microsoft is also providing access to some PC games for Game Pass Core and Standard subscribers. Microsoft currently restricts access to Xbox Cloud Gaming to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate to get cloud access, meaning you have to pay $19.99 a month to get access to xCloud.
The expansion of Xbox Cloud Gaming to more Game Pass tiers comes just a week after Microsoft hinted at "more affordable" and accessible ways to access Xbox cloud games. Microsoft was also previously working on a separate "dedicated" version of Xbox Cloud Gaming. Microsoft has also hinted in the past that there could even eventually be a free version Xbox Cloud Gaming in exchange for ads.
