Gaming Chromebooks are on the rise, but it's a relative term. Companies are focusing on better mechanical keyboards and displays, and a few now work with Steam natively, but in most cases, you're going to need a cloud gaming service to enjoy gaming on these affordable, lightweight Chromebooks.
With Stadia dead and buried, your main choices now are GeForce Now, Luna, and Xbox Game Pass; we're focusing on the latter here. Previously only available in beta at a measly 720p through Chrome, xCloud now has proper 1080p support along with other optimizations like better frame rates, making it finally worth using.
