During today’s Meta Connect keynote, Mark Zuckerberg announced that Xbox Cloud Gaming is coming to the Quest platform, allowing users to stream and play 2D games in VR.
The announcement was made in conjunction with Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, as part of a larger partnership between Microsoft and Meta. The Xbox Cloud Gaming beta allows a Quest user to stream 2D games from the cloud and play on a larger screen in VR with a connected Xbox controller.
Xbox Cloud Gaming integrates with Microsoft’s Xbox Game Pass service, which offers users a large, varying selection of games under a monthly subscription fee. The service will soon be available on the Quest platform, including Quest 2 and newly announced Quest Pro.
