Owned games on cloud is still being developed. If ur games that u brought isnt on game pass then it wont be on the cloud

Plus if the said games left game pass then no more cloud in those games

[tawny glacier]

so did i just buy them for no reason?? it’s big games like COD and rocket league

[proper kiln]

Cod may come on game pass starting sometime next year. Plus rocket league is f2p

[tawny glacier]

do i have an option to not have to use cloud gaming? how x box was set before was much better and it had less connectivity issues than cloud, no loading in time either

[proper kiln]

yeah install the game if u have the option

Are you confusing Cloud Gaming with Remote Play?

[tawny glacier]

i searched for it and still don’t have the option it’s not there

[tawny glacier]

im able to play games on the tv as before but now the console doesn’t need to be on

remote play you need to install the games to your console.

[tawny glacier]

i search for games like COD WW 2 but it does not show up

[echo beacon]

because they are not cloud enabled

[tawny glacier]

so when will they be?? these r games i bought that i can’t play now? there’s no other way?

[echo beacon]

they wont be.

The only way is to play them from your Xbox with remote play

[tawny glacier]

and you said if they r not on remote play then thats it? you dont have any games you paid for that are no longer available?

Cloud Gaming / Xcloud: A feature of Game Pass Ultimate that lets you play some Game Pass games without an xbox. When the game leaves game pass it can no longer be played in Cloud. (Today there are 381 out of 457 game pass console games available in cloud). This uses an app or a web browser.

Xbox Remote Play: A feature of your Xbox console that lets you play your own games, if your home network is set up right. Your xbox must turn on, connect to hte network, and you can play your own games that you have bought. This uses an app.

i tried downloading cod ww2 on my phone with the x box app to my console but it wouldn’t let me it gives me the option but when i press it, it doesn’t enable anything

[echo beacon]

yes I have games that are no longer available, what does that have to do with your cloud gaming?

[tawny glacier]

that makes sense

[weary wedge]

Okay, and now this is "Remote install" a feature wher eyou can use the mobile app to preinstall any game to your Xbox, as long as your xbox connects to the network / turns on.

You can't play any game, this if for installing games when you aren't home.

[tawny glacier]

i’m on cloud gaming right now, i turn on my x box to try and switch to remote play but it stays in cloud gaming

thanks for the help @weary wedge

[smoky mortar]

You don’t “switch” to remote play, it’s always done in a separate app (usually the Xbox app).

[tawny glacier]

ok so how can i access previously bought games then like cod ww2

through remote download in the app?

[tawny glacier]

i saw it says to set up remote i have to open the guide by pressing the xbox button which i have, but it just says welcome to the guide and then below it says more features coming soon and a give feedback button, nowhere does it say profile and system

You're confusing cloud gaming and remote play again....

you have to set up remote play on an actual physical xbox
