Microsoft Planning All-in-One Xbox App With 'Game Pass' on iPhone

by

Microsoft today announced that it will "soon" be combining its Xbox and Xbox Game Pass apps on the iPhone and iPad, as well as on Android.

Xbox App Game Pass Combined
Features from the Xbox Game Pass app will be moving to the Xbox app for an all-in-one experience. In the Xbox app, you will be able to view your Game Pass membership, browse the catalog of games, view and claim perks, and more.

As part of this transition, Microsoft said the Xbox Game Pass app for the iPhone and iPad will be removed from the App Store starting in November.

Xbox Game Pass is a subscription service that provides gamers with a rotating selection of games to play on an Xbox console or Windows PC. With the Xbox Game Pass app, you can search, view, and download games available in the Game Pass catalog, but the titles cannot be played on the iPhone and iPad directly.

Please just bring cloud gaming to iOS/tvOS please. It's such a massive market hole that Apple refuses to fill because of their greedy 30% cut and propping up the failing apple arcade

Imagine hooking your xbox controller up to an apple TV and playing xbox games through an xbox tvOS app....

It would eat so many lunches and become a literal new era of gaming. Nobody cares that this is already on whatever obscure android tv box- this has to be on tvOS and iOS to matter.

The Microsoft online store is a disaster. I tried to find a link to gift Flight Simulator to my grandson and ended up going to GameStop to get it done.

How long before the EU forces Microsoft to make a PlayStation version of this? [emoji23]
Or before Xbox and PlayStation are made to open up to third party app stores or similar streaming services? Very funny that these demands are all “one way”.

Is it not possible to play Xbox Game Pass games through browser on iPhone?
It is the only way you're able to[S], until this app comes out.

Cautiously optimistic on this. Was able to play a couple games through the browser - quality was hit or miss[/S]
Correction - this will not provide cloud gaming. Moving along, I guess

This is really only going the be useful for a majority of users, once Apple is forced to open up iOS/iPadOS for actual Xbox/Xcloud game-streaming or maybe down the road native games.
