Windows 11 gets a lot of gaming features like Xbox Game Pass

Windows 11 will focus on gaming as Microsoft adds three gaming-focused features to the new operating system.

The first and most important gaming feature added in Windows 11 is the Xbox Game Pass integration. Just as Xbox Game Pass was slowly integrated into the Game Bar in Windows 10, Xbox Game Pass will be fully supported once the new operating system is released. According to Microsoft, Xbox Game Pass will be “included with Windows 11”. The Xbox app on Windows 11 is available to Xbox Cloud Gaming subscribers through Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers. This is an upgrade of the existing Xbox Cloud Gaming app on PC, which currently only works through a browser.

Meanwhile, Xbox Cloud Gaming is also coming to Xbox One soon.
