XCloud Availability Beyond the Launch Date Regions

Oguz White · Sep 19, 2020

Hello everyone,

I'm a proud One X owner and one of the core reasons why I have chosen this console over the competitives was the cloud gaming capabilities that Microsoft developed for the future of gaming and for the future of XBOX. I am writing this question from Turkey.
Which is a country that's in between Western Asia and Southeastern Europe. I am aware
that my country is not eligible to have XBOX cloud gaming services at the time of writing. That being said, I happened to follow up on the news related to 11 countries being added to supported regions right before launch date, during beta phase. This makes
me curious as a Game Pass Ultimate subscriber. I have an android phone that meets all the criteria required to run the Xcloud, and I can see the curated list of cloud games being offered to me yet I'm in no position to interact with them as a notification
that says I might be regionally blocked and I can't access the services this time around. Would that mean (even though Turkey is officially supported by Microsoft for XBOX series as well as Game Pass and XBOX GOLD Live subsriptions) that I will never get to
see the day of comfort in cloud gaming or are we going to have more regions and contries being added as the service grows? There hasn't been any recent announcements on the matter from the Microsoft's end and it's not really clear whether the currently supported
regions are expanding or not. I'd be very glad if someone could explain the current state we are at.

Hey Oguz

Thank you for taking the time to post this on the Xbox Forums. We understand that you are inquiring about the Cloud gaming service for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.

It is absolutely as you said, and you can actually see this in the
FAQ for Cloud gaming "Cloud gaming with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate is available in 22 countries across North America and Europe, plus South Korea. Visit
xbox.com/regions for details. This is the first stage of a multi-year journey and we will be
adding more countries over time."

At this time, there is no further info regarding this, but I implore you to visit

Xbox Wire for all up-to-date info regarding Xbox as any new info will certaintly be added here.

I hope this was able to clear up any confusion this might have caused.

I just hope that Xcloud will be available in my region on launch day of the international launch.

Hello again, it's not really available on XCloud, as I mentioned before the catalogs and game availability may vary from region to region, if it's not available in XCloud, it's because it wasn't actually made available for that mode.

If you are trying to do cloud gaming then no it's not available in your region

Xcloud is only available in certain regions

But you do have xgu other then xcloud

Hi EduardoBarbosa767! My name is Ricardo an independent advisor ready to help you with this situation!

Game pass games are available in your region but the Xcloud part it's only available for game pass ultimate subscribers, also it's necessary to be physically on the region to access the Xcloud as account region configuration it's not enough
