During a recent interview with Stratechery microphones, Phil Spencer discussed how the service could improve in the future Xbox Game Pass, and that very soon streaming sticks could be available, along the lines of Google's Chromecast or Amazon's Fire Stick, allowing users to play the vast catalog of xCloud directly on their TV. We report in detail the words of the Xbox boss:
I think you will soon see low-cost hardware as part of our ecosystem, something like streaming sticks. Something simple, designed to connect directly to your TV and allow you to play through xCloud.
We could also think of something to add in the Game Pass subscription that gives the ability to stream xCloud games to your TV. Just buy a controller.
But that's not all, since Phil Spencer he also paused to talk about a new possible subscription, called "Xbox Game Pass Platinum“, Which would allow gamers to always have access to the latest generation Xbox hardware. Simply put, it would be an alternative to the program Xbox All Access, which unlike the Platinum service, would allow you to buy the console permanently. Waiting to find out how the well-known cloud gaming service of the Redmond house will evolve, Microsoft is currently working to bring xCloud by the beginning of 2021 also on iOS devices, through the creation of a web app. Finally, we remind you that Xbox Series X e Series S they will be available for purchase starting from the next November 10 2020, respectively at the price of 499,99 € e 299,99 €.
