India: Gaming enthusiasts in India no longer need expensive consoles to enjoy their favorite games. Microsoft’s Xbox Cloud Gaming, a cloud-based game streaming service, has officially launched in India, allowing players to enjoy console-quality games on smartphones, tablets, PCs, and even TVs—all with just a stable internet connection.
With this launch, popular titles like Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, Hollow Knight: Silksong, and Raji: An Ancient Epic can be streamed directly from the cloud, eliminating the need to download or install games. Users can start playing instantly and even switch devices mid-game without losing progress.
How Xbox Cloud Gaming Works
Previously, Xbox Game Pass users could play games only on Xbox consoles. With the cloud service, the limitation is removed. All that’s needed is high-speed internet and an Xbox Game Pass subscription. Gamers can connect a Bluetooth controller, or for supported games, use keyboard & mouse or touch controls on mobile devices.
Playing on TV
Cloud gaming is also accessible on TVs. For smart TVs, users can download the Xbox app, sign in with their Game Pass account, and connect a Bluetooth controller. For non-smart TVs, devices like Amazon Fire TV Stick can enable 4K console-level gaming on the big screen.
Xbox Game Pass Pricing
Xbox Game Pass offers affordable options for gamers:
- Standard Plan: ₹499/month for access to 50+ games
- Premium Plan: ₹699/month with 200+ games
- Ultimate Plan: ₹1,389/month offering 400+ games, including 75+ same-day new releases
Compared to buying console games costing ₹3,000–₹10,000 each, cloud gaming provides a cost-effective alternative, allowing month-long access to hundreds of titles for a fraction of the price.
With Xbox Cloud Gaming now in India, players can enjoy anywhere, anytime gaming without the need for expensive hardware, making high-quality gaming more accessible than ever.
