If you’re a gamer, you’re going to like this.
Microsoft gaming chief Phil Spencer announced on Friday that the company will bring its Xbox Game Pass to Apple devices in 2021 as a web app.
The Xbox Game Pass service allows games to be streamed without having to download them. While Apple’s App Store rules forbid packaged streaming gaming apps, instead requiring that developers submit them as individual apps.
Amazon’s Luna streaming service already functions through web browsers on Apple devices, and Luna’s engineering chief George Tsipolitis said Amazon worked with Apple to develop this functionality.
On Thursday, former Apple App Store director Phil Shoemaker alleged that Apple limits streaming game services since they compete with Apple Arcade.
Still, this could be a fun thing for 2021.
Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
