Xbox Streaming Service xCloud Adds Five More Games, Including A Recent Exclusive

Microsoft's game-streaming service, xCloud, has introduced five more games, including one of the company's 2020 exclusives.

Available now in the xCloud beta on Android are Ori and the Will of the Wisps, Batman: Arkham Knight, Mortal Kombat X, Lego Batman 3: Beyond Gotham, and Pillars of Eternity.

These games are available in the xCloud service right now. They join the 50+ games already in the catalog, including Gears 5, Destiny 2, Halo 5, Hellblade, Madden NFL 20, and Shadow of the Tomb Raider.

All of these games are completely free to play for people in the xCloud beta. The catch is that it's not an open program yet--you need to register here for a chance to be selected.

xCloud is currently available in the US, Canada, South Korea, and United Kingdom, along with "many" countries in western Europe. Support for other regions will come later.

The xCloud service held an iOS test earlier this year, but it reached its capacity right away and Microsoft has not yet announced another wave of testing.

Xbox Game Pass will be updated to support xCloud later in 2020, and that's a big deal because currently Game Pass titles must be downloaded. With xCloud integration, games will be streamed.
