  1. Option to play from cloud not available (Xbox Series S)


    I recently purchased an Xbox Series S to use the cloud gaming feature of my Game Pass Ultimate subscription. However, I am only given the option to download and install games onto my console. My Series S has only my profile logged onto it, has all updates installed, and has been restarted after its updates. Please advise.

    :)

    If I buy a disk of Microsoft Flight Simulator, can I play on my Xbox One S without Cloud Gaming and regardless to my location?

    So how can I play Microsoft Flight Simulator if Cloud Gaming is not available in my country?

    Isnt there a version (maybe a disk) that is compatible with my Xbox One S?
    If cloud gaming isn't available in your country then you can't play it. There are no Xbox One S versions of the game. This game is too advanced for the Xbox One S, or the One X.

    If you really want to play it, you need to buy either a Series S or Series X. There are no other options if Cloud gaming isn't supported in your location.

    Hello, Francia.

    I am able to stream via cloud using the Edge browser on both my PC and Mac. I am still unable to stream via cloud on my Series S.

    If you are unable to solve my issue, who can I escalate this problem to?

    Thank you.
