FULL STORY
======================================================================

Do you own a Meta Quest 2, 3 , or Pro headset and dream of stepping into 
Master Chiefs shoes in Halo , or getting behind the wheel and tearing down 
the road in Forza Horizon 5 ? Well, you still cant do that, sorry, but you 
can experience the next closest thing with all cloud-gaming-supported Xbox 
Game Pass games right now, with the newly released Xbox Cloud Gaming (Beta) 
app. 

As outlined in a post on the Meta website , the Xbox Cloud Gaming (Beta) app 
was released on the Meta Quest Store earlier this week (on December 13) and 
allows Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers to jump into an enormous variety 
of games on their supported VR headsets. Theyll also need a compatible 
controller, as well as a solid internet connection for the best results (on 
the app page , a connection of at least 20Mbps is recommended). 

Users wont actually need an Xbox controller in order to play, either. 
According to the post, PlayStation 4 controllers and Nintendo Switch Pro 
controllers work just fine, too, with PlayStation 5 controller compatibility 
to come down the line too. With this, on top of the fact that you dont need 
an Xbox console or even a TV screen to use the app, gamers now have a brand 
new means through which to play the best Xbox Series X games without owning 
Microsofts current-gen hardware. 

It was confirmed in September that Xbox Cloud Gaming would be coming to Meta 
Quest this month, although at that time it wasnt clear exactly what date it 
would be released. As such, this news is likely to be positively received by 
compatible headset owners, especially if they were planning on diving into 
more VR gaming over the holiday season, with popular games like Starfield and 
Hi-Fi Rush both playable via the app.
