Stadia and xCloud gaming streaming services will not be available to iOS users. Reported by The Verge.
This is because these services violate App Store policies by allowing users to launch and play third-party games that have not passed Apple’s separate security review. According to the store’s rules, all applications launched by the user must pass this check.
On the eve of Microsoft, which develops xCloud, announced that it will stop testing the platform on iOS. The company said it would consider other options to make the service available to iPhone users.
Services like Stadia and xCloud allow users to play any game without a special console or PC on any device – all they need is an internet connection and a gamepad. Physically, the games themselves are launched on the servers of the company that provides the service.
The Stadia service was launched at the end of 2019. The xCloud launch was announced on September 15, 2020.
