One of the questions asked to Choudhry was related to the Xbox Game Pass and the possibility of accessing the games of the service through Project xCloud.

The director did not give a very direct answer, just confirming the desire to make the service available, but remembering that it is currently valid only for Xbox One. This may be indicative that the possibility of games being made available on platforms such as PC and mobile may present some legal hurdles to come true.
