Apple blocks Microsoft s XCloud project

The Xbox 360 video gaming console has actually received updates from Microsoft from its launch in 2005 up until November 2007 that allow it to play pick games from its predecessor, Xbox. The Xbox 360 introduced with in reverse compatibility with the number of supported Xbox games varying depending upon area. Microsoft continued to upgrade the list of Xbox video games that were compatible with Xbox 360 until November 2007 when the checklist was wrapped up. Microsoft later on introduced the Xbox Originals program on December 7, 2007 where select backwards suitable Xbox games could be bought electronically on Xbox 360 gaming consoles with the program ending much less than two years later in June 2009. The following is a listing of all in reverse compatible games on Xbox 360 under this functionality.

Microsoft will publish project XCloud in September to allow Xbox fans to discover their games on mobile devices, but this apparently does not include Apple devices. The policies of the App Store have always been quite demanding for application developers compared to the main competitor, Android, and Apple does not treat Microsoft differently. Microsoft still plans to install Project Xcloud on the iOS platform, but they always try to find the path that puts the service on Apple devices. Project XCloud will join the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate at no extra charge at its official release in September.

Our test period for Overview App XCloud for iOS has expired. Unfortunately, we do not have a way to bring our cloud gaming vision with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate to players on iOS via the Apple App Store, said a spokesman Xbox. Apple is the only general purpose platform to refuse consumers to access cloud games and subscription services to games such as Xbox Game Pass. And it systematically treats game applications differently, by applying more lenient rules to non-game applications, even when they include interactive content. »

All games available in the Xbox Game Pass catalog are evaluated for their content by industry classification agencies such as ESRB and their regional equivalents, continued Xbox spokesperson. We are committed to finding a way to integrate the cloud game with Xbox Game Pass ULTIMATE on the IOS platform. We think the customer must be at the heart of the gaming experience and the players tell us they want to play, connect and share anywhere, wherever they are. We agree.

Do you hope that Project Xcloud ends on iOS or are you anyway a fan of Android? Let us know in the comments below!
