- But with the most recent update to xCloud in Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, Microsoft is able to sidestep the need for a dedicated app by streaming games using Safari, opening up its game-streaming.
All we know that OneCast is working, and we can stream from xbox to mac with this app. But why Microsoft can't make official app on MacOs, so we can Xcloud to Mac? Besides it's work for iOS, so why.
Microsoft’s xCloud, the new cloud game streaming component a part of Xbox’s Game Pass Ultimate, has officially launched for iOS devices like iPhone, iPad, and macOS. The xCloud doesn’t require the use of a console and the PC version can be accessed through the Edge Browser and Google Chrome. With over 100 games available to play, Game Pass Ultimate holders will be able to have access to many beloved titles. Another feature of the xCloud is that the service is compatible with Bluetooth controllers and USB controllers. On iOS devices, the xCloud can be accessed through web-based apps like Safari. Players will get to choose to have a controller or touch controls for different games. With xCloud being powered by a custom Xbox Series X console hardware, setting streams to 1080p at up to 60 frames per second can be achieved for those with fast internet connections.
Starting today, Xbox Cloud Gaming is running on custom Xbox Series X hardware, and available to all @XboxGamePass Ultimate members with Windows 10 PCs and Apple phones and tablets, via browser, across 22 countries. https://t.co/HYuvbHGBUg#XboxGamePass

Cloud gaming is said to provide gamers with seamless play across all of their devices–whether your streaming from your PC or mobile device, your game will be playing from an Xbox hardware in a Microsoft datacenter. This essentially means that players will be able to jump into a game, play with friends on the go or on their PC while using the same Xbox network as their console.
On Xbox’s blog, the company stated that the gameplay on iOS devices and macOS will be just as powerful as playing on a console, as they ensure that xCloud users will experience fast load times, improved frame rates, and a high-quality experience. This key milestone to the Xbox experience is allowing gamers to bring the console experience directly to the devices they use daily.
Xbox Cloud Gaming (xCloud) is Microsoft’s solution to democratize the world of video games. Cloud and network connections are becoming more powerful and good software can take advantage of this to allow us to play demanding titles from less powerful computers. Xbox Cloud Gaming is now coming via a browser on iOS, PC and macOS.

According to Microsoft, we can access xCloud on Windows 10 PCs through Edge and Chrome browsers. In the case of iOS and iPadOS, it will work as a web application through Safari and we will have the option of using a remote control or touch controls in some games.
Another important announcement concerns the performance of xCloud. According to the North American company, their cloud-based video game service is now running on custom Xbox Series X hardware. They have updated their data centers around the world to provide a much better experience in terms of loading time and fps. They promise that with a good internet connection we can play at 1080p and 60fps.
Following the recent introduction of the Xbox app for SmartTV and the “non-smart” TV accessory, this is another giant leap in bringing xCloud into every home. Microsoft’s bet is already taking shape and over the next few years they will reap the rewards.
