Why do you need to buy game pass on Cloud Gaming to play games you own already?

only games that are in gamepass are on the cloud gaming service, and only gamepass ultimate subscriber can use the service, it is not like nvidia cloud where you access your games.

you can stream your games from console using your own console and your own internet.

Xcloud does not take into account if you own the game or not, xcloud is a perk of ultimate sub only and not to play the games you own.

So your saying that i bought the game and i need to pay an extra 18 dollars to play it cause if that’s the case that’s so stupid

Hello ShootLaCraft, my name is zahir.

Is there any other questions i can answer for you?

No as mentioned all services require a subscription for cloud

You can play locally or remote plat as you already been told

As a future.feature.purchases is coning but still require.the subscription

Only way you are going to.do what you want is subscription or remote play

If you only have standard Game Pass, you still need Gold to play online. If all you want to do is play the games you already own online, then you'd just want Gold.

You can also get Game Pass Ultimate which is a combined subscription of Gold, Game Pass for Console, and PC Game Pass which also includes access to cloud gaming. It's cheaper than buying Gold and standard Game Pass individually.

No matter what subscription you buy, you'll be able to continue playing games you already own the same way you already do.
