Calling it « a bad experience for customers, » Microsoft wasn’t happy with how Apple had tweaked the App Store rules to allow for third-party cloud gaming services on its platform. Redmond argued that downloading a separate app for each game, which apparently allows Apple to review them properly, would negatively affect user experience for xCloud, and that a simple Netflix-style catalog of games is what the company was looking to offer. Nonetheless, the sea of iPhones and iPads out there is too big of an opportunity to pass on, even with Apple’s restrictions in place. It’s why Microsoft is now developing a « direct browser-based solution » for xCloud that it plans to bring to iOS early next year.
