| Microsoft launched cloud gaming services to compete with Sony |
Microsoft said: Due to increasing competition with Japan-based Sony, Microsoft plans to launch a new user-focused cloud gaming service, Xbox, for new users for $ 1 in the first month of Tuesday.
Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers ($ 14.99 per month) can play more than 150 games over the cloud on Xbox, Android, and PC. Subscribers do not even have to purchase a gaming device to play the games as they can be exchanged for supported Android devices and controllers.
The launch in 22 countries (including the US and 19 European countries) marks a turning point for Microsoft in the cloud gaming market, eliminating the need for large devices but requiring fast internet connections. Google launched its Stadia service ahead of Microsoft, which is still working hard to build a fanbase.
"We built this experience and needed the lowest bandwidth possible," said Karim Choudhury, Director of Microsoft Cloud Gaming. He added, "We are also working with ISPs around the world to ensure that the player is well entrenched between the gamer and the Azure datacenter. Strong connection."
According to analyst (Gilherme Fernandez) of game analysis firm Newzoo, cloud gaming revenues are expected to reach $ 4.8 billion by 2023 and cloud gaming revenues are expected to reach $ 4.8 billion. This year it was about $ 600 million.
Xbox Cloud Game subscribers can play blockbuster games like Sea of Thieves and Gears 5 as part of the monthly rental fee.
Analysts expect that demand for full gaming experiences with improved sound and graphics will boost console sales as Microsoft and Sony are expected to launch new generation gaming platforms in the coming months.
