Microsoft begins testing cloud gaming on Xbox consoles

Microsoft has begun testing cloud gaming on the Xbox consoles. It’s currently only available for randomly selected members of the Xbox Insider programme, but in an Xbox Wire blog post, Microsoft says it plans to expand to more Insiders over time.

The purpose of cloud gaming on Xbox is to allow users to play games on the Xbox Game Pass service without the need to actually install them. Not only does this let players jump into games sooner, but it also saves space on the console’s hard drive.
