It's only for Android for now

The cloud gaming with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate launch lineup is here, and it will give you more than 150 titles to play as soon as the service launches on Tuesday.

The new service being bundled into Xbox Game Pass Ultimate allows you to play any of the included games on an Android device via an online connection - if you download the app through the Samsung Galaxy Store, you can even use it to make in-game purchases.The announcement also confirms that Microsoft has finally phased out the Project xCloud name for the service. Cloud gaming with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate doesn't evoke quite the same '90s JRPG title vibes as "xCloud", but it gets the job done.

The initial lineup of cloud gaming titles includes a mix of Xbox Game Studios titles such as Tell Me Why and Sea of Thieves, as well as third-party games such as Destiny 2 and Untitled Goose Game. Games will be added to the selection and delisted over time, just as with the other Xbox Game Pass selections.

Cloud gaming with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate isn't available on iOS devices for the moment, and Microsoft has called Apple's proposal for making it work "a bad experience for customers."
