GeForce Now is great if you already have a big library of PC games and want to play them on any device at high quality and frame rates, making it a good choice for more veteran gamers. XGPU is great if you don't already have a big library of games or if you want to play them on any device, making it a good choice for almost anyone. The key here is "intended purpose," because XGPU is only one of our two cloud-gaming Editors' Choice Awards: The other is Nvidia GeForce Now. And it operates a huge network of state-of-the-art data centers optimized for serving cloud applications: Xbox Cloud Gaming is as much about Azure as it is about fun.
It has well-established game development studios and gobbles up more independent studios every year, plus it has relationships with every important game developer.
The company has a long history in gaming - Microsoft Flight Simulator launched nearly 40 years ago and the Xbox more than 20 years ago - and it owns the DirectX graphics programming interface used by both Windows and its Xbox consoles. Still, it will be worth keeping an eye on whether or not the value of the service increases with its price.Dan Ackerman/CNET The Game Pass Ultimate difference: Breadth and depthįor its intended purpose, Microsoft has unmatched advantages over competitors for several reasons. To be fair, they’ve been very generous with the Game Pass library thus far, and with the service likely to become more important as we enter the next generation of console gaming, it’s easy to imagine that Microsoft will increase the value of all Game Pass libraries through both the addition of third-party titles and the inclusion of upcoming Microsoft Studios next-gen projects.
While we’d still argue that Game Pass for PC is more than worth its new $9.99 cost, you have to believe that Microsoft will only expand its support of the PC service from here on out. Some have argued that the quality of the games included in the Game Pass PC plan also lags behind, but that’s obviously a matter of opinion. As for the standard Xbox Game Pass PC plan, it does appear that it lags slightly behind the console version of the service in terms of the overall number of games included with your subscription plan.
