Xbox Game Pass currently allows players to play several titles on PC. For this gamers have to download heavy files that can be a nuisance for low-spec systems. 

The arrival of cloud service with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate changes it. Users can play games smoothly without worrying about their system’s weaknesses.

Moreover, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate will not require a particular app to run on iOS devices. A simple browser app will be more than enough to have access to it.

On the other hand, PC users can utilize the streaming service via a browser or Xbox app.

The fact that even budget-friendly systems can reap the benefits of Xbox Game Pass will bring huge swaths of gamers to Microsoft.
