The Xbox Game Pass subscription gives members access to a broad library of titles for Xbox consoles and Windows PCs, and many of those games can also be streamed via Xbox Cloud Gaming to devices such as tablets, phones and compatible smart TVs.
Streaming through the cloud removes the need to download or install games on a console or PC; you only need a stable internet connection and a compatible controller to play on a TV or mobile device.
