Microsoft today announced that Xbox Game Pass games can now be played via the cloud on your Xbox Series X, S, or Xbox One console. Previously, the cloud-compatible games that came with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate were only playable via devices such as your smartphone, laptop, PC or tablet. This new feature means you can play games without having to install them on your hard drive, freeing up crucial space.

And select next-gen games that are currently only playable on Xbox Series X and S and are now also available to play via the cloud on Xbox One. Series X and S games now available to play via the cloud on your Xbox One include The Medium, The Riftbreaker, and Recompile by Bloober Team. And this library will be expanded with more next-gen games to be added, including the critically acclaimed Microsoft Flight Simulator.

Where to buy an Xbox Series X in the UK
Amazon UK – Xbox Series X 1TB Console

Amazon UK is one of the major retailers to take orders for the Xbox Series X this year. And, unlike the PS5, you don’t need Amazon Prime access to attempt to place an order. While this will open up Xbox Series X orders to more customers, conversely, it means stock can sell out super fast – so make sure you act fast. You can put the Xbox Series X on your Amazon wish list if you want to keep an eye on the stock situation.

Xbox Series X add-ons will also be available on Very in 2021. The online retailer is known to be taking orders for the Xbox Series X console only, or bundling which games, accessories, and Game Pass membership. Prices for the Xbox Series X at Very start at £449.99.

Currys – PlayStation, Xbox, Switch consoles

Currys is another UK retailer that has taken orders for the Xbox Series X in 2021.
