During this year’s Meta Connect event, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg revealed that Xbox Cloud Gaming would be officially available on Meta Quest 3 starting in December. This development provides gamers with the opportunity to stream a range of popular titles, including Halo Infinite, Starfield, and Forza Horizon 5, in a virtual 2D screen environment, all from the comfort of their Meta Quest 3 headset.
To access Xbox Cloud Gaming on Meta Quest 3, users will require a Game Pass Ultimate subscription, providing them with a vast library of games to choose from. Additionally, they will need a compatible controller for a seamless gaming experience. It is important to note that the service’s availability on Quest will be limited to select regions, with no explicit mention of support for Quest 2 and Quest Pro at this time.
While some enthusiasts have previously found workarounds to access Xbox Cloud Gaming on Quest headsets, this official support will streamline the process and make it easily accessible to a broader audience. Notably, the announcement aligns with Microsoft’s ongoing acquisition of Activision Blizzard, potentially paving the way for players to experience popular franchises like Call of Duty and Overwatch 2 in virtual reality in the near future.
As the official launch date approaches in December, gamers can anticipate an immersive gaming experience, combining the convenience of Xbox Cloud Gaming with the immersive capabilities of the Meta Quest 3 headset.
