Will Microsoft consider expanding the Cloud Streaming service to allow other accounts on an...

Hi BearWithMe218. My name is Kyle and I'm an independent advisor.

At this time there are no public plans to expand Cloud Gaming to South Africa. Keep in mind that we are gamers just like you, not Microsoft employees. As such we don't have any 'insider' information about Cloud Gaming availability.

Other streaming services have servers in or close enough to South Africa for cloud gaming, and have ensured their service comply with local laws. This can take a lot of time and investment, it's sadly not as simple as just enabling cloud gaming for South Africa. So it's possible Xbox is working on expanding the service, but it could take some more time before we hear anything.

Please reach back if you have further questions.

Thanks,
Kyle

Microsoft is likely working on a game streaming service that will be similar to googles stadia. It will likely combine games pass with some sort of cloud service that will allow you to download limited to no data for a game while the rest of the games
assets are accessed through the cloud.

Thank you, Chaia.

Go to Settings > Devices & connections > Remote features > Xbox app preferences > Allow connections from any device > Allow play to streaming and Allow game streaming to other devices.

Ensure you're logged in using the same account. Also, you may want to consider trying a different mobile device just to see if there's any difference.

The name you've used suggests you're Bulgarian? Xbox Cloud isn't available in Bulgaria. Having ipv6 makes no difference to streaming performance.

If you're using the cloud and it's running poorly it's because you're too far from the servers that stream the games. In order for Game Pass to work correctly, you need local servers. It makes no difference how fast or optimised your connection is. I have no idea if Microsoft plans to expand to your region.

This is a little late, but I'm sympathetic to the OPs dilemma. I'm considering a subscription to similar services but after different free trials I've concluded Xbox Music pass has the lowest stream rate of any online music service amongst the big 4 or
5. Downloaded content is at 320 kbs, streaming is only 192 kbs. Average listeners over pc speakers or earbuds won't care, but anyone who have sunk $$$ into audio equipment can absolutely tell the emptiness of the bit rate on Xbox compared to others. If
you think its a fad, consider Jay-Z has invested in higher bit rates for streaming services with their acquisition of Tidal (which has the highest of all streaming services at over 1400 kbs). Microsoft needs to bring it. I don't think it should be expected
to compete with Tidal at $19/mo., but at the same price point as other services of $9/mo. you shouldn't on get half the bit rate of other services. Come on Microsoft...just be good at something, or over achieve for once. Let the weak link of my streaming
service be the ISP or my machine not the streaming service. I'll probably have to opt for Tidal until MS kicks it up a notch or 20.
