Tech and games giant Microsoft has said that it might be looking into a “more affordable” way of accessing its Xbox Cloud Gaming service.
Speaking on the company’s official podcast – as reported by The Verge – VP of, er, next generation Jason Ronald hinted that it wanted to make its streaming service more accessible one way or another. This could be releasing a cheaper version of its streaming service, but the exec stopped short of making any official announcement, though.
“One of the things we see is there’s a lot of players who use Game Pass Ultimate to access the cloud, whether that’s the primary way they play, or an additional way to play on the go,” Ronald said.
“I think for us, it really opens up the opportunity to make it much more affordable, and make it more accessible to players. Whether that’s going into new regions, or new ways to actually access the [Xbox] cloud.”
Ronald also addressed Microsoft’s partnership with chip giant AMD for its next generation of hardware.
“Together with AMD, we’re designing dedicated silicon and hardware to enable the next generation of gaming experiences,” Ronald said.
“We’re investing deeply in the next generation of rendering technologies, such as neural rendering, which will bring a new level of quality to the games that you’re having.”
