Recently there was an update to MSFS2020 that lets you enjoy this fine flight sim from your inferior XBOX One X/S, any PC and other supported devices through Cloud Gaming.

On PC you just need any PC with Windows 10/11, an internet connection, browser (or Xbox app) and Xbox gamepad. The game will stream entirely from the cloud so your PC specs doesn't matter much. The latency between your controller input and the video output is quite low. The downsides are some image artifacts due to streamed video compression and somewhat longer loading times compared with install running from my NVMe drive. Also the framerate and detail levels seems lower than my fine-tuned PC install. But for the ability to practically be able to play it on the go on even a crappy laptop (with internet connection) is quite amazing.

I don't know if that's oversight, but eventhough I have access only to the Standard version through GamePass, while playing via Cloud Gaming I have access to the aircraft only available in higher versions (Deluxe and Premium).

Go to

and try it yourself!
