“We’re now in the final stages of internal testing, and we’ll be upgrading the experience for [Xbox Game Pass] Ultimate members in the next few weeks,” Kareem Choudhry, head of cloud gaming at Microsoft, said earlier this month.
While Microsoft still hasn’t made an official announcement about the rollout of Xbox Series X server blades for cloud gaming, many users are reporting significant improvements to load times and frame rates.
