Microsoft says xCloud gaming not coming to iOS on Sept 15, blames Apple
Microsofts xCloud streaming game service along with Xbox Game Pass
will not arrive on the iOS devices on September 15 and the company has blamed
Apples App Store restrictions for this.
Microsoft has
accused Apple of treating gaming apps unfairly while allowing other media
services to exist on the platform even when they include interactive content.
According to The Verge, Microsoft was also
only able to make one game 'TestFlight, Halo: The Master Chief Collection'
available and that was limited to 10,000 people and each could only play one
game.
"Our
Project xCloud preview TestFlight period has ended on iOS and we are focused on
delivering cloud gaming as part of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate to Android customers
beginning September 15," a Microsoft spokesperson
said on Thursday.
"Apple
stands alone as the only general-purpose platform to deny consumers from cloud
gaming and game subscription services like Xbox Game Pass,'' the spokesperson
added.
