I just got game pass ultimate on cloud gaming and on my iOS device the play button is...

Thanks for answering,

I have iOS account and game pass ultimate. It's not the first time I try to log in and play via cloud.

Hi there! This is Virginia O.

I understand that you are experiencing issues with cloud gaming.

I apologize for the inconvenienced this has caused you. I will do my best to help you.

Please check game pass subscription status to confirm that your Ultimate pass subscription is active and valid. To do this, sign in to the Microsoft Account Services Page https://account.microsoft.com>; Services and subscription and make sure that it should be "Active" and no issues.

And then refresh your browser, on Safari go to Settings > Safari > Clear History and Website Data. Restart the browser and revisit the Xbox Cloud Gaming Website.

Next is to update your browser by making sure that Safari or any browser you’re using is up to date. On your iOS, please go to Settings > General > Software Update and install any pending updates.

Then adjust Safari settings because cloud gaming may require specific Safari settings to work. To do this, open Settings > Safari. Enable JavaScript under Safari settings. Allow Pop-ups if they’re blocked.

After that is to run a speed test to confirm that your internet meets the minimum requirements (10 Mbps download speed or higher is recommended) because a weak or unstable connection can cause the greyed-out play button.

It is also important to check game availability. There are games on Game Pass might be temporarily unavailable for cloud gaming. Kindly look for updates on the Xbox Cloud Gaming Status Page to ensure all games are available and operational.

If Safari isn’t working well, please use another browser like Chrome or Microsoft Edge (available on iOS via the App Store).

Thank you for your cooperation.

Game Pass is like Netflix for games. You can play any game in the library without purchasing the games individually. There is a Game Pass for console and a Game Pass for PC.

Game Pass Ultimate includes both Game Pass for console and Game Pass for PC as well as a Gold subscription so you can play online multiplayer. Ultimate also gives you access to Cloud gaming and EA Play.

Xbox Cloud gaming allows you to sign into a laptop, mobile device, and the console, and play games without having to download them.

Oh, so another question, does that mean Game Pass has to buy or download games to the device to play? I mean, is the main difference just in the use of the device? I'm trying to figure out what exactly is the reason customers are taking Cloud Gaming further with Game Pass. Is Game Pass not enough to play or does cloud gaming have some more convenient features?



Sorry, my question is very annoying, but I really wonder why.

Well you can use your Xbox game pass ultimate subscription to access the Xbox version on the cloud, you can use remote play to access it on your own personal Xbox, or you can just buy it on iOS

When using IOS devices, you have to use a webpage to play via cloud gaming. The app does not work with IOS.
