But now a new report indicates that Microsoft is making a renewed effort to extend the reach of Xbox Cloud Gaming.<\/p>\n<p>A report released earlier this month stated that Microsoft will soon be testing its ability to <a data-ref-id=\"1100-6527140\" style=\"text-decoration:none;color:black;\">let Xbox owners stream any game in their library<\/a> even if it isn&#8217;t on Game Pass. According to <a data-target=\"true\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" style=\"text-decoration:none;color:black;\">The Verge<\/a>, that&#8217;s just the beginning of Microsoft&#8217;s plans. The company is reportedly looking to add even more cloud-gaming features and introduce direct-to-cloud controllers.<\/p>\n<div data-embed-type=\"video\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=NEulk3Ar00I\" data-width=\"854\" data-height=\"480\"> <iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/NEulk3Ar00I\" height=\"100%\" width=\"100%\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"\" webkitallowfullscreen=\"\" mozallowfullscreen=\"\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>The report credits the developer of the Better xCloud app for discovering Xbox&#8217;s direct-to-cloud controller support, which apparently isn&#8217;t quite ready to be rolled out yet. For now, Microsoft&#8217;s priority is said to be focused on improving the visual quality of its streams in a bid to make it possible to play Xbox games without a console that can perform at the same level as the Xbox Series X|S. There will supposedly be forward momentum for allowing higher bitrates on Xbox Cloud Gaming &#8220;soon.&#8221; However, fixing and upgrading Xbox Cloud Gaming&#8217;s ongoing latency issues will reportedly take more time and &#8220;require more powerful hardware.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>If Microsoft can deliver on all of those changes and give console-free gamers a comparable or better experience to having an Xbox Series X|S, then it seems likely to further erode the sales of physical consoles. Microsoft and Sony have both released digital-only consoles this generation, but if Microsoft really can remove the need for a physical console altogether then that might shake up the industry even more&#8211;although it didn&#8217;t work so well for Google&#8217;s Stadia.<\/p>\n<div class=\"js-mapped-ad mapped-ad mapped-mpu_middle mapped-mpu_middle-dart js-seamless-middle-mpu float-right no-inner-space\" data-ad-type=\"mpu_middle\" style=\"\">\n<div class=\"ad-wrap ad-wrap-mpu_middle gpt-ad\" id=\"mpu_middle\" data-gpt-page-params=\"{&quot;aeVer&quot;:&quot;v150.18.0&quot;,&quot;ppid&quot;:&quot;a92720b8-1032-4adf-968b-2e171ded4260&quot;,&quot;pvuid&quot;:&quot;b657b92b-4d12-435a-9a78-0d309137678f&quot;,&quot;browser&quot;:&quot;Chrome&quot;,&quot;adGroup&quot;:[&quot;100&quot;,&quot;95&quot;,&quot;90&quot;,&quot;85&quot;,&quot;80&quot;,&quot;75&quot;,&quot;70&quot;,&quot;65&quot;,&quot;60&quot;,&quot;55&quot;,&quot;50&quot;,&quot;45&quot;],&quot;topics_available&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;pa_available&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;cmp&quot;:&quot;1t&quot;,&quot;pageType&quot;:&quot;-1&quot;,&quot;pname&quot;:&quot;-1&quot;,&quot;ptype&quot;:&quot;news_article&quot;,&quot;slug&quot;:&quot;gs-1100-6527246&quot;,&quot;pid&quot;:&quot;-1&quot;,&quot;section&quot;:&quot;-1&quot;,&quot;rdate&quot;:&quot;bp52&quot;,&quot;topic&quot;:[&quot;gaming-tech&quot;,&quot;cloud-gaming&quot;],&quot;pform&quot;:[&quot;pc&quot;,&quot;mobile&quot;,&quot;xbox-one&quot;,&quot;xbox-series-x&quot;,&quot;ios-iphoneipad&quot;,&quot;android&quot;],&quot;category&quot;:&quot;games&quot;,&quot;user&quot;:&quot;anon&quot;,&quot;verticalName&quot;:&quot;gaming&quot;,&quot;vguid&quot;:&quot;f0e03e4c-3b00-48d2-8b90-167c6b2dc5c9&quot;,&quot;is_mobile&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;uap&quot;:&quot;none&quot;,&quot;uap_c&quot;:&quot;none&quot;,&quot;s2&quot;:&quot;article&quot;,&quot;npa&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;rdp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;s0&quot;:&quot;gaming&quot;,&quot;s1&quot;:&quot;gamespot&quot;,&quot;skin&quot;:&quot;gamespot_desktop&quot;,&quot;seg&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;aamid&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;li-module-enabled&quot;:[&quot;t0&quot;],&quot;AU_SEG&quot;:[&quot;AU_SEG_FANDOMAF_1&quot;,&quot;AU_SEG_EVERYDAY&quot;,&quot;AU_SEG_FANDOMAF&quot;,&quot;AU_SEG_FANDOM_NINTENDO_USERS&quot;,&quot;AU_SEG_MUSICLOVERS&quot;,&quot;AU_SEG_FANDOMGA&quot;,&quot;AU_SEG_PLAYSTATION&quot;,&quot;AU_SEG_XBOX&quot;,&quot;AU_SEG_TRAVELER&quot;,&quot;AU_SEG_MOVIELOV&quot;,&quot;AU_SEG_AGE_25-54&quot;],&quot;ids&quot;:&quot;1&quot;,&quot;bsc&quot;:[&quot;80000200&quot;,&quot;84092032&quot;,&quot;84091001&quot;],&quot;abs&quot;:&quot;51006171,51004256,51007054,51004584&quot;,&quot;boi&quot;:&quot;AAAAPAxxxxxxxxxx&quot;}\" data-gpt-slot-params=\"{&quot;pos_nr&quot;:&quot;1&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:[&quot;gamespot&quot;],&quot;pos&quot;:&quot;mpu_middle&quot;,&quot;rv&quot;:&quot;1&quot;,&quot;sl&quot;:&quot;mpu_middle?T-1000&quot;,&quot;iid&quot;:&quot;unit=mpu_middle|vguid=f0e03e4c-3b00-48d2-8b90-167c6b2dc5c9|&quot;,&quot;pageType&quot;:&quot;-1&quot;}\" data-slot-result=\"success\" data-google-query-id=\"CMG9vMzSwYkDFR6R6QUdmqY69Q\" data-slot-loaded=\"true\" data-gpt-advertiser-id=\"28000692\" data-gpt-order-id=\"2687356036\" data-gpt-creative-id=\"138465038257\" data-gpt-line-item-id=\"6510749661\" data-gpt-creative-size=\"[300,250]\">\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/5441\/aw-gamespot\/news_2__container__\" style=\"border: 0pt none;\">   <iframe id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/5441\/aw-gamespot\/news_2\" name=\"google_ads_iframe_\/5441\/aw-gamespot\/news_2\" title=\"3rd party ad content\" width=\"300\" height=\"250\" scrolling=\"no\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" frameborder=\"0\" aria-label=\"Advertisement\" tabindex=\"0\" data-load-complete=\"true\" data-google-container-id=\"3\" style=\"border: 0px;
