Xbox's cloud gaming service has reached a milestone, shedding its "beta" label.

Along with Xbox Cloud Gaming exiting its beta state, Microsoft also announced that Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers can experience "enhanced" streaming quality up to 1440p and the "shortest wait times." Game Pass Ultimate is now $30/month after the company's revamping and price hike of Xbox Game Pass, though you can still lock in $20/month pricing for Ultimate through Amazon.

Speaking to The Verge, Microsoft director of gaming and platform communications Dustin Blackwell said that the service will "go up to 1440p for select games and select devices," though Xbox hasn't clarified which games and devices support higher resolutions.

Initially announced as Project xCloud in 2018, Xbox Cloud Gaming officially launched in 2020 as part of the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription plan.

Subscribers of the newly minted Xbox Game Pass Premium ($15/month) and Essential ($10/month) can also now take advantage of cloud gaming, albeit without the resolution improvement and shorter wait times. An Xbox Insider update in August indicated that subscribers of the lower Game Pass tiers would eventually be able to stream games.

These updates for Xbox Cloud Gaming come with an abundance of details and fine print regarding the restructured Xbox Game Pass, including the addition of Fortnite Crew and Ubisoft+ Classics to Game Pass Ultimate, as well as a notable asterisk regarding the release of new Call of Duty games on the service.
