After the announcement that Project xCloud was going to be a part of Game Pass Ultimate when it launches, Microsoft has shared more details on what players can expect from the service next month.
In an official announcement by Microsoft, Android phones and tablets will get first dibs on Project xCloud, which will boast of more than 100 games playable at launch, like Yakuza Kiwami 2, Gears 5, Minecraft Dungeons, and much more.
