It seems that all the movements that Microsoft has made in recent years were a bit disjointed, but in reality, we are witnessing a plan that is very close to closing its circle. So much so that surely what we tell you today ends up convincing you that their new consoles, and all the games that exist for them, have become an ecosystem capable of running on any device Conected to internet.
The game in the cloud, key
Thus, Microsoft has launched what seems to be the last phase of the plan, which will have an expansion period of about a year, at which time those from Redmond will make the leap to invade one of the last remaining territories. to conquer: that of Smart TVs. It will be in 2023 when we will have the official Xbox application available as one more way to access the game catalog of its already famous Game Pass although, for now, only on Samsung models.
Thanks to this application of your Korean Smart TV, you will be able to access all games remotely, through the cloud, without the need to buy an Xbox Series X|S or a PC. You will simply have to pair a gamepad and start, or continue, that game that you left halfway on the console, on the computer or on the mobile and the tablet.
In this case, Microsoft is not doing anything different from what other technological giants such as Google (with Stadia) or Amazon (with Luna) are trying, where they have sought to position themselves in a sector that grows a little more year after year and that general already earn more money than industries like film and music combined. Now, this video game explosion will have the cloud as its protagonist and, in the case of Microsoft, that xCloud has been available for months on both mobile phones and tablets.
A Stick to round it all
But with the official app for Smart TV, Microsoft does not think that all its expansion plans have ended. The same reports indicate that North Americans They are going to launch a kind of HDMI key on the market, in the style of the Amazon Fire TV Stick, for example, that we can plug into any television to introduce the entire catalog of games in the cloud that we have in Game Pass, in addition to access to more specific applications for distribution of movies in format digital or TV series.
In this way, we could be before the evidence of having a new device that would allow us turn any tv into smart cWith the addition of accompanying everything with its video game ecosystem without having to buy a next-generation Xbox. Something that will only force us, as we have already mentioned, to have to pair a controller, ensure a good cable connection to the TV and let ourselves be carried away by that pleasure of controlling the Master Chief in the latest Halo that has reached the stores.
