The closure of Stadia was a blow to cloud gaming, although it was considered the most influential service to offer this feature, but shortly after it was overtaken by other services such as Xbox Game Pass or GeForce Now, among others. As far as Microsoft is concerned, it seems to have things very clear with its ecosystem, which is already bearing fruit, and on the other hand, Microsoft Edge leans on itadding exclusive features to attract the most gamers.
Microsoft Edge has included a very useful feature when searching with Bing. And it is that if we carry out a search for a video game that is in Xbox Game Pass, in the results a button will appear to play instantly if we have an active subscription to this service. This function is undoubtedly reminiscent of what Stadia promised with the integration of its games into the Google ecosystem.
A new improvement for Bing searches
As we have been able to verify, just search for any game found on the Microsoft service, and we will find a section dedicated to being able to run the game from the browser itself with Game Pass. The company already added the possibility of playing in the cloud from the browser itself a while ago, and this new function takes advantage of that feature. The only requirements are to have an active Game Pass subscription and a connected controller to play (although the latter will change soon so you can play with a keyboard and mouse).
The user reach of this new Bing feature is still unknown, although what we can confirm is that is available in Spainso if you want to try, just search for any Game Pass game on Bing from Edge (it’s worth the sacrifice).
Running any Game Pass game through Microsoft Edge has its advantages. And it is that for the moment, it is the best browser in which to enjoy these games, since has exclusive benefits like Clarity Boost, a feature that adds definition to games.
Microsoft has been adding multiple functions to Edge to transform it into the ‘gamers’ browser. Recently we were also able to have a start menu dedicated to the games and achievements obtained in Xbox Game Pass. The company wants to continue promoting its use together with Xbox Cloud Gaming, a service in which its users will also benefit from a new device that Xbox is preparing to connect to the TV and that would only serve to play games in the cloud and play content online. through apps.
