Exclusive details on what Xbox Cloud Gaming “Bring Your Own Games” rollout will look like: Regions, game library size, access on iPhone, Android, and more.


What you need to know

  • Right now, Xbox Cloud Gaming only supports games in Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, but that’s changing from November 2024.
  • Xbox Cloud Gaming is finally getting the ability to purchase games to own outside of Game Pass, confirmed in a thread by Xbox President Sarah Bond.
  • However, it won’t instantly give you access to your entire digital Xbox console game library, with the rollout set to be gradual over the coming weeks and months ahead.

It finally happened. The long-awaited rollout of buy-to-own Xbox games in the cloud is coming in November, 2024 (next month!), but there are some details well-worth knowing.

Microsoft first announced its long-term vision for Xbox Cloud Gaming as early as 2019, when it set out its goal to bring its entire Xbox games catalog to the cloud. Since then, we’ve been waiting an incredibly long time for confirmation of the program’s launch window, and Xbox President Sarah Bond posted in a thread just yesterday that the plan is finally going ahead. However, some details are still missing from the equation.
