Lol how about bringing Game Pass to Macs, iPads, the Deck and so on. You know, before hell freezes over. The difference being that Valve and Apple might actually welcome it. I really don't see Sony and Nintendo ever agreeing to it. πŸ˜‚

The thing stopping them from putting it on iOS devices was probably the fact that Apple would take a chunk off the top through App store fees. EU just ruled that they can fuck themselves and alternative storefronts must be made available on the platform.

From memory Apple rejected game pass on iOS because they wanted Microsoft to submit every game (even though they’re all streamed) as separate apps on the App Store to comply with the age rating systems.

Well, they will probably just avoid this entirely likely by launching an MS store. It would likely have a lot of Progressive Web Apps since those are pretty universal.

You're right about that. You can still access game streaming on iOS through the PWA though.
