Meta To Feature Xbox Cloud Gaming; Also Buys Three New Game Companies

Microsoft has announced that Xbox Cloud Gaming is going to be on the Meta platform.

The announcement was made during the Meta Connect 2022 livestream.

“Xbox Cloud Gaming enables you to stream hundreds of high-quality games to a range of devices—and that will include Meta Quest 2 in the future.

When Xbox Cloud Gaming launches on the Meta Quest Store, you’ll be able to hook up an Xbox controller to your headset and play console games from the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate library on a massive 2D screen, like having a private movie theater available at all times.

No date yet, but we hope to share more on this as soon as possible.”

In related news, Meta also acquired game development studios Camouflaj, Armature, and Twisted Pixel for an undisclosed amount.

Camouflaj is a studio formed by ex-Metal Gear Solid producer Ryan Payton and previously made adventure game Republique. Armature is formed by ex-Metroid Prime key members from Retro Studios, and recently made the Resident Evil 4 VR port. Twisted Pixel is a game studio known for esoteric titles like The Maw, ‘Splosion Man, Wilson’s Heart, and Path of the Warrior.
