As time goes on and the next-gen consoles get more love and attention, it’s normal for those who have not been able to get a new console to feel left out. Xbox One users must have been quite disheartened by the Xbox & Bethesda Showcase at E3 this year, Microsoft Flight Simulator is going to be released only on the Xbox Series S & X, and the same applies to other Xbox Exclusives due in 2022 such as Starfield and Arkane’s Redfall. But Microsoft isn’t the type of company to leave age-old fans hanging.
In a recent blog published on Xbox Wire, Microsoft has revealed plans of giving Xbox One players access to next-gen titles through Cloud gaming. The blog starts by stating how excited they are as a company to push the envelope with next-gen consoles.
You’ll see many games this holiday, including Forza Horizon 5, which will boast DirectX Raytracing on both Xbox Series X and S, and Battlefield 2042, which will run at 60fps while supporting 128 players on Series X|S.

Some games launching next year from our first-party studios and partners, such as Starfield, Redfall, and S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2, require the speed, performance, and technology of Series X|S. We’re excited to see developers realize their visions in ways that only next-gen hardware will allow them to do.

The blog then goes on to address the Xbox One users by saying,
For the millions of people who play on Xbox One consoles today, we are looking forward to sharing more about how we will bring many of these next-gen games, such as Microsoft Flight Simulator, to your console through Xbox Cloud Gaming, just like we do with mobile devices, tablets, and browsers.

Now, it should be noted that you don’t have to have an Xbox console to gain access to Microsoft’s cloud-based gaming service. Microsoft is making it easier than ever by bringing an app for Smart TVs and their own streaming stick.
Moves like this are what we as gamers love to see. It’s great when a company doesn’t just focus on pushing a new product but also supports those who have been with them for a while.
Xbox One users and other Xbox fans will be very happy with this decision and will be playing even the newest titles, provided they have an internet connection that can keep up!
