IT Home reported on December 14 that after more than a year of waiting, Microsoft and Meta finally fulfilled their promise and brought the Xbox cloud gaming service to the Meta Quest VR headset. Starting today, Meta Quest 2, Meta Quest 3 and Meta Quest Pro users can play hundreds of games from Xbox from the Meta Store** Xbox Cloud Gaming (Beta) app.
To experience Xbox Cloud Gaming, you'll need an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription. Simply select the Xbox Cloud Gaming (Beta) app from the Meta Quest Store** and follow the tutorial to pair it with a supported controller. Meta Quest supports a wide range of devices, including the Xbox Wireless Controller with Bluetooth support. Once paired, sign in with a Microsoft account with an active Xbox Game Pass Ultimate membership to start playing!If you don't have a membership, you can also sign up for a trial.
IT Home notes that the Xbox Cloud Gaming app supports four different display sizes that can be adjusted to your liking. Meta Quest 3 and Pro users can also use the headset's support for full color*** to see the world around them while playing.
In addition to the Xbox wireless controller, the app is compatible with PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch Pro controllers, and will support PS5 controllers in the future. It's worth mentioning that just a few weeks ago, the Meta Quest headset also added support for Steam VR games.
