I’m hoping this is the right place, long time reader first time poster. But with project xcloud launching in a little under a month and half I’m beginning to grow concerned about the lack out Apple being mentioned to play my games on. Will this take place to a console, no way but would it be nice to be able to kill some time on a game I enjoy? You bet. I am hoping that Microsoft or Apple will let us know sooner that later.
Got a tip for us?

I am not sure I 100% understand the question but will try to answer. GamePass Ultimate+Xcloud will launch on Windows PC, Android and iOS phones and tablets.
There is no mention of MacOS at this time. That would be Microsoft decision. I imagine it will in the future, but timed exclusivity is common. For one, it may be due to actual development and needing more time... but they may also use it to push people to buy Windows PCs

Looks like there's something that just came out about it: https://www.macrumors.com/2020/08/05/xcloud-unavailable-on-ios-at-launch/
Oh wow. I had not heard about that until now. Maybe I will be the minority here, but this makes me want to cancel my Apple Arcade sub. This sort of anti-consumer garbage is what made me leave PS and get an Xbox to begin with.

Well that’s illogical. I highly doubt they review every movie and show on the numerous streaming apps. Or the music, audiobooks and podcasts on numerous apps. Why would they put their foot down now for video games? Hardly a legitimate reason.
Oh and let’s not forget Stadia is an app on the App Store...
But you don’t play games on it... it’s used to set up your account, tweak your profile, etc.
