A practical UK cloud gaming checklist

Check the catalogue, device, subscription and connection before committing.

Xbox Cloud Gaming streams supported games on compatible devices. Begin with the game you actually want to play and check the current UK catalogue. Support is specific enough that a general interest in the service should lead to a title check before a subscription decision.

Next, confirm that your intended device is compatible and examine the current subscription requirements. These checks answer different questions: whether your chosen game is included, whether your device can access the service and what subscription is required.

Finally, review the connectivity requirements against the connection you plan to use. Work through all four checks together rather than allowing one positive result to stand in for the rest. A suitable device, for example, does not establish catalogue inclusion or fulfil the subscription and connectivity requirements.
