Xbox Insiders are getting new benefits with these Xbox Game Pass tiers — expanding with Cloud gaming and PC titles

Xbox Game Pass display at Gamescom.

Members of the Xbox Insider Program subscribed to Xbox Game Pass Core or Xbox Game Pass Standard will now be able to stream some games through Xbox Cloud Gaming, as well as access PC versions of titles, where possible.

As shared on Wednesday via Xbox Wire, it's some great news for Xbox Game Pass users who aren't subscribed to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, the highest tier of Microsoft's gaming subscription service.

Both of these features were previously unavailable for Xbox console users on these tiers, with Xbox Cloud and (additional) access to PC games being limited to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.

This new access for Cloud gaming on these two tiers includes Game Pass titles as well as games in the "Stream Your Own Game" library, the latter of which has greatly expanded over the last few months.

Cloud Gaming is available across numerous devices, including Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One consoles, select Smart TVs, Meta Quest 3 headsets, and web browsers via Xbox.com/play.

If you aren't currently a part of it, you can sign up to join the Xbox Insider Program, which allows you to test new and upcoming features, providing feedback before they roll out across Xbox consoles and the Xbox PC app.
