Microsoft has announced that over 150 Xbox games will be available to play on Android devices when Xbox Game Pass Ultimate's cloud streaming service launches.
We already knew that cloud streaming (powered by Project xCloud) will be available for free to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers from September 15, allowing them to play a host of Xbox games on Android mobile devices, but now Microsoft has unveiled exactly which games subscribers will be able to play on the move from launch day, including the likes of Destiny 2, Spiritfarer, Forza Horizon 4, and Tell Me Why.
It's worth noting that this is just the initial launch-day lineup and, according to Microsoft, "you can expect the library to evolve over time, based on members’ feedback, with new games added all the time".

Xbox Game Pass Ultimate cloud gaming launch titles
Microsoft's cloud gaming service (Project xCloud) aims to let you play big-name games on whichever device you want, whenever you want, streaming on your consoles, on your phones, and on your Windows 10 PCs.
Bundled in free with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, subscribers will have access to the service from September 15, allowing them to play Xbox One and (eventually) Xbox Series X games on their phones or tablets.
And because Xbox Live can connect across all devices, you'll still have the option to play single-player or online multiplayer on whichever device you're using – you can also play with PC players in games where cross-play with Xbox One consoles is supported. It's worth noting that Project xCloud does depend on a stable internet connection, but Microsoft has promised the service can run with a 7-10mb/s connection.
The service will technically be in beta when it launches on September 15, which means it will only be available for Android devices in 22 countries. While we're expecting the feature to eventually roll out to more countries at a later date, support for iOS devices doesn't appear to be coming any time soon due to Apple App Store policies which prevent cloud gaming services like Game Pass from operating on iOS devices.
