• Technology Microsoft Edge can now import settings and open tabs from Chrome

In the coming months,

Microsoft

will begin offering a new cloud gaming service, but unlike its subscription product,

Game Pass

, this one will allow you to play games purchased directly from the

Xbox

Store .

This means that users will have access to the titles in their

game library

without the need to install them on the machine they are playing on, including

mobile phones, PCs or tablets

, and without the need to pay a monthly subscription service.

At first, the

new feature

will only be available in some games, but

Microsoft

's idea is to gradually expand the catalog of compatible titles.

This service is an important boost to

the cloud gaming

strategy , in which the games run on a remote server and, therefore, do not require a very powerful

local machine

(PC or console).

The

Game Pass

service already offered this experience as a complement to downloading games, but it is a limited catalog that changes every month and has a

fixed cost

.

Other companies, such as

Google

or Nvidia, also offer the possibility of playing games purchased in the cloud, without the need to install them on a local machine.

In the case of

Google,

it is only about those purchased within the Stadia service.

Nvidia, on the other hand, allows you to link the library of the Steam or Epic Game Store

digital stores

and play previously purchased titles, although with a time limit if the monthly subscription service is not used.

Microsoft

's commitment

will also be complemented by a boost to demo versions of games, also in the cloud.

Codenamed Project Moorcroft,

Microsoft

is preparing a platform for developers large and small to publish

beta versions

and demos of their games and be compensated for the time players spend playing them.

An app for Samsung TVs

In addition to this new service,

Microsoft

is also preparing an application for Samsung televisions that will give access to the

Game Pass

service and games available in the cloud without a subscription, such as Fortnite.

This app will allow you to play games

remotely

using a remote control connected by Bluetooth to the television and will be available from June 30.
