Android & iPhone won't support this — for obvious reasons
Nadella having even more regret for ditching windows phone

But Amazon firestick, Tizen (Samsung) & WebOS (LG) to the rescue

you now do not need that expensive console (or PC & GPU) to game

Technically GeForce now app is already available on my Samsung TV — but unfortunately that service not available in my region, but xbox cloud gaming is available


Now imagine that you can play a game like Microsoft flight simulator or forza Horizon without console / PC/ add on ssd / download & installation etc.

You just need compatible controller or thrust pad/stick combo or wheel etc.


You will have to buy your own games (or gamepass subscription tho)

Cloud gaming sessions (with built in wait time) are free for 5 hrs a month
But the games are not free

& if you need more than 5 hrs / month (but don't want to buy gamepass subscription) ?
Hopefully there will be a pay-as-you-play option for that 🤔
