Microsoft Keeps the Faith with Xbox Cloud Gaming
Microsoft is not giving up on its Xbox Cloud Gaming service despite recent reports suggesting otherwise.
The company has denied claims that it will be canceling new controllers for the platform, and instead continues to develop devices with built-in Wi-Fi to reduce latency when playing via the cloud.
According to sources, the shutdown of the Xbox app on Samsung TVs from 2020 is due to outdated technology, not a reduction in investment. The company will stop supporting these devices starting November 3, citing the need for modern Chromium APIs to support future features related to image quality and latency.
Microsoft has also introduced time limits for using cloud gaming in Game Pass, explaining that it's due to increasing costs of supporting the service and the need for further investment in its stability and performance. The exact details of these time limits are not specified in the source.
