We already knew that Xbox Game Pass Ultimate players will get access to free cloud gaming in September, but Microsoft has now revealed more details about how it will work. Starting September 15, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers will be able to play over 100 Xbox games from the cloud on their Android phone or tablet as part of the cloud gaming beta, including Minecraft Dungeons, Gears 5, Tell Me Why and Destiny 2. Additionally, Microsoft has revealed plans to make new Xbox Game Studios titles coming to Xbox Game Pass on Day 1 available for cloud play as well. However, the company said it would have more to share on the game's full catalog closer to September 15.

(Image credit: The Coalition) Microsoft's cloud streaming service, powered by Project xCloud, has been in preview for some time now. So while cloud streaming on Xbox Game Pass Ultimate is still technically in beta, this is the first time gamers will get their hands on the service as part of their subscription. However, since the service is still in beta, it is only rolling out in 22 markets and players cannot play these Xbox games on any mobile devices, only Android devices. But that should change once the service is out of beta. These are the countries that will have access to cloud gaming through Xbox Game Pass Ultimate on September 15; Austria, Belgium, Canada, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Spain, South Korea, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The good news is that when you access cloud gaming on your Android device, all your progress from the console will carry over. So you can switch from playing Gears 5 on your Xbox One X to playing on your phone, and you can still play online multiplayer with friends. Essentially, you should have the same experience as on your console, but only on a mobile device. We look forward to hearing more about how Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers can set up this service on their Android devices as September 15 approaches.
