A few weeks ago, Amazon introduced its video game service on the moon, a service that it claimed would be available from day one on iOS devicesSince it will work through the native iOS browser, this way you don't have to go through Apple's hoop and offer an application for each game available on your platform.
It should be remembered that Microsoft abandoned the development of his xCloud application for iOS by violating the guidelines of the App Store, guidelines that Apple updated shortly after to allow this type of services, but with the particularity of having to offer an application for each game, something that according to the Redmond-based company, it will offer bad experience to users.
Microsoft stated in its day that this was not a solution but that it wasI was still working with Apple to reach an agreement that will benefit both parties. Amazon Luna, Amazon's video game service, was ahead of that agreement and according to The Verge and Business Insiser, it will also be used by Microsoft's xCloud service.
According to Business Insider, Phil Spencer, head of Xbox, had a meeting with employees last Wednesday to study how to power their service on iOS, the web version being, the only one possible without violating the new Apple guidelines and without having to offer a different application for each game available on the platform.
Microsoft leverages Amazon's work with the Safari team to develop a progressive web application (PWA) for Luna that will run on iOS devices, so that all users will be able to access the entire Amazon catalog using only the browser and that will also be compatible with the Luna control knob .
The Verge claims that xCloud It will reach all iOS devices as a web application from 2021, so we will still have to wait a few months to enjoy Game Pass on our iPhone or iPad.
