Players need the Xbox Game Pass mobile app on Android, and from there, they can play anything in the Game Pass catalog that supports cloud gaming. Play Starfield on your TV without an XboxĪnyone with an Android or iOS phone can play Starfield via the cloud.Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer said when Microsoft caught wind that Starfield could be exclusive to PlayStation, this drove him to pursue an acquisition of ZeniMax and Bethesda. Starfield was reportedly originally in development for PlayStation and might have been exclusive to Sony's console like Bethesda's Ghostwire: Tokyo and Deathloop were at launch. Streaming might also not be the optimal experience for Starfield in terms of imagine quality and latency, in case those are important factors for you. Also worth considering is whether or not you have a data cap because streaming takes up a good amount of bandwidth. Something to keep in mind, though, is that a strong and consistent internet connection is necessary for cloud gaming to be at its best. And it should boot up near instantly, again, without any local download required.

The game does not run locally but on outside servers, so Starfield can be played on the phone you might have in your pocket right now. One benefit of playing Starfield over the cloud is that there is no local download required, and players are always updated to the latest version of the game.
