cant locate the xbox cloud gaming tab

hi! i really want to do cloud gaming on the xbox app. i currently have the xbox ultimate gamepass subscription. i have seen it once before on the xbox app but since then it has been removed. i have tried playing it in the browser and it has worked, but i cannot seem to get any keys to work (when i press a key on my keyboard or move my mouse it doesnt do anything, same thing with supported controllers). i want to play microsoft flight simulator. i have already re-installed the xbox app but i dont have any more ideas

:)

Hi Patel

i tried the link and i did all the steps on it but it didnt work. i launched the xbox app a couple times and tried opening it via the start menu so i actually knew it was running as administrator (i believe it already was inside the browser but just to make sure) and it didnt work. do you have any other suggestions?

Can you try to find a fix already? Because the cause of this is because I need to choose which save location I want to pick, local or cloud. But the ***** window does not come to the foreground, but the background of the game. Next to that, for some godforsaken reason it is not an application but only a window, so alt+tab ain't **** working.

Also looking somewhere in the setting to sync cloud and local files, but can't find it.

Hello BlackStar,

Let's try another method.

Please, install the Xbox PC app and launch the cloud games from there:

https://www.xbox.com/apps/xbox-app-for-pc

Select the Cloud Gaming tab and launch a game.

Unfortunately South Africa isn't on the list for cloud gaming.

Go here https://www.xbox.com/en-US/regions

Then click on the Xbox Game Pass tab and look at the last column tagged Cloud Gaming.
