One thing that the gamers need to know in advance is that the feature is only available for the games they own, along with free to play titles. According to a report published by Variety, the list includes titles like 007 First Light, Forza Horizon 6, War Thunder, Genshin Impact, and more. As for the move, it comes at a time when Xbox console prices are hitting yet another hike starting from August 1, 2026, in the international market. For those unaware, the Xbox Series X price will jump to $799.99, and the Series S will ship at $499.99. This could be dubbed the third hike driven partly by the memory shortage. Chief Strategy Officer Matthew Ball stated that the step has been taken to provide highly affordable options for players and to analyse how these kinds of features are being used by them.
