Theoretically, the shift could impact current PC-only Game Pass content like Europa Universalis IV, Dune: Spice Wars, Total War, or the original Fallout. The latter two PC exclusives wouldn't usually come to Xbox Cloud Gaming, but the EE deal makes it seem possible. Were Microsoft to acquire Activision Blizzard, it's a given that all Game Pass options would quickly include titles like Call of Duty and Diablo while PC Game Pass could gain StarCraft and WarCraft. We are committed to bring more games to more people, however they choose to play. Microsoft and are expanding our partnership with a 10-year commitment in cloud gaming to bring PC games built by Activision Blizzard, following the acquisition, and Xbox to customers. Mouse and keyboard support is still in testing for games like Microsoft Flight Simulator.

Users play all cloud games with either a controller or a touch screen. Thus far, Xbox Cloud Gaming only has titles with Xbox versions. The words are significant because EE offers customers access to Xbox Cloud Gaming, and Microsoft currently doesn't include PC-exclusive games on its cloud service. In a Tuesday tweet, Xbox head Phil Spencer announced that if Microsoft's $69 billion deal to acquire Activision Blizzard closes, it will bring the publisher's PC games to UK mobile service EE. The move could be an effort to match Nvidia's service and assuage the concerns of international regulators over its Activision Blizzard acquisition. What just happened? As Microsoft finalizes a significant expansion of PC Game Pass, a recent tweet from the head of the Xbox division has sparked speculation that PC games might come to the company's cloud gaming service.
