“Elden Ring Looks Likely To Be Coming To Xbox Cloud Gaming. Elden Ring and other titles could be coming to Xbox Cloud Gaming. Currently, only titles that are a part of the Xbox Game Pass are included in Microsoft's Xcloud service. As spotted by Knoebel on Twitter, certain titles such as Elden Ring, GTA V, and Soul Hackers 2 have been seen with Cloud Gaming Beta logos, indicating that they could be some of the first non-Xbox Game Pass titles to be playable on the cloud. However, when VGC attempted to play the titles in question on Xcloud, an error message appeared, indicating that the Cloud Gaming Beta labels may have been applied early, which would make sense as such a feature for such high-profile games is something that would likely warrant an official announcement from Microsoft.”

Here's what you can expect to see from Xbox when Gamescom kicks off later this month.

“First Footage Of White Xbox Elite Series 2 Controller Surfaces Online. Anyway, as reported by VGC, a video has emerged online showing off what appears to be the very first white Xbox Elite Series 2 controller. The regular Elite Series 2 wireless controller first released back in 2019, solely in black (not counting the limited edition Halo version), and was professed to be “the world’s most advanced controller”, boasting adjustable-tension thumbsticks, interchangeable thumbstick and paddle shapes, the ability to assign voice commands to buttons, and more.

“Analyst Makes Bold Prediction About Xbox Game Pass Subscribers. Analyst Michael Pachter believes that a combination of Microsoft acquiring Activision Blizzard and the cloud making Game Pass available to anyone with a screen handy will make the service's subscriber count grow exponentially. Speaking to Yahoo Finance, Pachter predicts that the number of Xbox Game Pass subscribers could potentially balloon from the roughly 25 million it has now to a staggering 100 million.
From The Verge “Microsoft has claimed Sony pays for “blocking rights” to stop developers from adding their content to Xbox Game Pass. The explosive claims are part of documents (Word doc) filed with Brazil’s national competition regulator and part of a review of Microsoft’s acquisition of Activision Blizzard. “Microsoft’s ability to continue expanding Game Pass has been hampered by Sony’s desire to inhibit such growth,” claims Microsoft in an August 9th filing to the Administrative Council for Economic Defense (CADE), as translated from Portuguese.
