A few days ago (November 17), Microsoft announced that Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers could now also stream games directly to Xbox consoles.Īt first, this may seem counterintuitive: Why stream a game to a dedicated console? Even under ideal streaming conditions, a downloaded game offers a better experience, with steadier resolutions and frame rates, and no threat of lag or disconnections (at least for offline games). Over the past year, Microsoft has expanded this functionality, also allowing users to stream many of those games to Android devices and non-gaming PCs. Microsoft offers a subscription service called Xbox Game Pass Ultimate ($15 per month), which lets users download more than 400 games to Xbox consoles and/or PCs. Of course, not everyone agrees with this take on the game, however, many of the comments, a majority of them, have echoed the claim, suggesting there may be something to it.In case you haven’t followed the evolution of Xbox Cloud Gaming, there’s some background you need to know.

Over on the Xbox Game Pass Reddit page, a post calling the game a "must play" has been gaining traction. According to Xbox Game Pass users though you need to play it. Over the time, the game shed this negative reputation - partially thanks to various improvements to the contentious issues - but at release it was quite a big talking point in the industry. And when this sequel, Middle-earth: Shadow of War, was released, it created quite the controversy, as it was heavily criticized for its use of loot boxes in a single-player game. It also saw the sequel to 2014 Game of the Year, Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor release. Xbox Game Pass users have urged fellow subscribers on Xbox One, Xbox Series S, Xbox Series X, and PC to play a game that was quite controversial when it was initially released, but is also apparently a "must play." The mystery Xbox game in question dates back to 2017, a year that saw the likes of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Super Mario Odyssey, What Remains of Edith Finch, Persona 5, Cuphead, PUBG, Nier: Automata, and Divinity: Original Sin II all release.
