Hello, ashlyn thacker

Welcome to the Microsoft community.

Thank you for your feedback. May I ask how you installed windows 11? Was it installed via bootcamp?

If you are running an apple m1, m2, m3 chip computer, it will not support your needs for now.

Mac computers with M1, M2, and M3 chips do not support 32-bit Arm apps available in the Windows App Store. 32-bit Arm apps are being deprecated for all Arm versions of Windows. The preferred customer experience is to run 64-bit Arm apps, but customers can also use apps in x64 or x86 emulation on Mac M1, M2, and M3 computers. (Official)

Please let me know if you have any other questions or if I haven't explained something clearly.

Windows on ARM, so my guess it is a compatibly issue?

You're running Windows on a PC with an ARM based processor, PC game pass requires a PC running an Intel or AMD processor and for most games, a dedicated graphics card. Your system has neither.

The ARM based systems are not supported. Emulation isn't an option, now or in the future.

Xcloud can be used on a PC, but it's only avaliable to Xbox Insiders at the moment.

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

> I have changed the PC for an Apple mini m2 pro where I install Windows 11 with the Parallels App.

You can't install or play this game on an ARM device as it's a different architecture. You need an x86 Windows PC with an Intel or AMD processor.

As stated on the support page: "ARM devices support the Xbox cloud gaming feature only on the Xbox app. "

There are two versions of Windows 8 tablets. The standard Surface tablet's run Windows 8RT. The RT version is for tablets running on ARM based processors. The easiest way to compare them is with Android and iPad devices. They can't be upgraded, and can
only apps designed specifically for RT. They don't run Windows programs for PC's.

Surface Pro are Intel X86 based machines, they run the desktop version of Windows 8 and can run PC based applications. As long as they have USB ports, they should support Xbox 360 controllers.
