Microsoft Corp., which is among game companies fighting with Apple Inc. over App Store rules that have kept its video-game streaming service from working with iPhones and iPads, pledged to resolve the issue for customers.<\/p>\n
The software company is having \u201congoing discussions\u201d about how to improve the situation, Microsoft\u2019s Xbox chief Phil Spencer said Monday in an interview.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re committed to bringing xCloud to all mobile endpoints, including Apple\u2019s big ecosystem,\u201d he said. \u201cFor customers out there — and I see it on Twitter all the time, people asking \u2014 they can just know we will get there. We remain committed.\u201d<\/p>\n
Microsoft launched its xCloud service last week working only with Android devices because Apple had blocked games that stream directly from the web on its mobile operating system, frustrating Microsoft and other companies with streaming services such as\u00a0Nvidia Corp.<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0and Alphabet Inc.\u2019s Google.<\/p>\n Earlier this month, Apple\u00a0relaxed<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0its rules to allow individual games from the web, but not a full all-you-can-eat service. Microsoft said the new provisions still make the gaming experience poor for users on Apple\u2019s mobile devices.<\/p>\n XCloud is the part of Microsoft\u2019s highest subscription tier, Game Pass Ultimate, which lets customers stream games to mobile devices.<\/p>\n Microsoft Corp., which is among game companies fighting with Apple Inc. over App Store rules that have kept its video-game streaming service from working with iPhones and iPads, pledged to resolve the issue for customers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":341034,"featured_media":327771,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_facebook_post_id":"","_sma_instagram_post_id":"","_sma_threads_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[62678,123,54413],"class_list":["post-368397","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-gaming","tag-game-streaming-service","tag-microsoft","tag-xcloud"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/368397"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/341034"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=368397"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/368397\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/327771"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=368397"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=368397"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=368397"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Now read: Microsoft to buy Bethesda Softworks in major boost for Xbox<\/a><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
