Starting today you’ll be able to play Epic Games’ super-successful battle royale game on all the platforms supported by Xbox Cloud Gaming (iOS, Android, or Windows PC) without even needing to pay for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.

All you need is a Microsoft Account, and you can find the game to play here.

This isn’t the only free-to-play game that will appear on Xbox Cloud Gaming, as Microsoft promised “to bring more Free-to-Play games people love in the future.”

It’ll certainly be interesting to see which ones will be added and when, but Fornite could certainly be a big driver for the adoption of the service.

Microsoft also provided some information on the growth of the service as a whole, mentioning that 10 million players have enjoyed it as part of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.

Those players have played on over 6,000 types of devices, and discover and play on average twice as many games as Xbox Game Pass members who don’t use the cloud.

We also get the confirmation that Microsoft Flight Simulator was the most played cloud game on phones, tablets, PCs, and consoles for the month of March.

Below you can check a trailer celebrating the arrival of Fortnite on Xbox Cloud Gaming.

Proud weeb hailing from sunny (not as much as people think) Italy and long-standing gamer since the age of Mattel Intellivision and Sinclair ZX Spectrum. Definitely a multi-platform gamer, he still holds the old dear PC nearest to his heart, while not disregarding any console on the market. RPGs (of any nationality), MMORPGs, and visual novels are his daily bread, but he enjoys almost every other genre, prominently racing simulators, action and sandbox games. He is also one of the few surviving fans on Earth of the flight simulator genre.
