Ever wanted to play Skyrim on the go? No, no we’re not talking about the low-res Nintendo Switch port. We’re talking the real deal. High resolution textures, stunning lighting and shading details, and most importantly, using that excellent Xbox One controller for exploring the wilderness and hunting down dragons.

Well, with this acquisition and Zenimax Media’s titles likely to become part of the Game Pass library, that dream will become reality. With xCloud officially out of beta this month, any Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers can now start playing any game from the library on-the-go.

All you need to do is pair your controller to your phone via Bluetooth and you’re all good to go. If that doesn’t have you excited, let me remind you that Starfield and Elder Scrolls 6 should be coming to Game Pass on release date, too.

Yes. I, too, am ready to explore the vast expanses of space from the comfort of my toilet thanks to xCloud.
