Microsoft Plans to Expand Xbox Cloud Gaming with PC Games, Revealed in FTC v. Microsoft Case

Competition and Surprises The move to expand Xbox Cloud Gaming’s offerings with native PC games was evidently a response to the competitive landscape. Spencer noted that Google was transitioning Stadia into a Google Cloud SKU while discontinuing its first-party consumer service.

Despite acknowledging Google as a “massive and aggressive competitor,” Spencer expressed surprise at the lack of progress with Stadia. He also identified Nvidia’s GeForce Now as the top competitor to Xbox Cloud Gaming, while keeping a watchful eye on Google and Amazon’s Luna.
