Google Stadia and Xbox Streaming Technically Greenlit for iOS, But There’s a Big Catch

Apple has not been making many friends in the gaming space recently. Of course, Apple and Fortnite publisher Epic Games are currently embroiled in a bitter feud, but they also ran afoul of Google and Microsoft, who claimed App Store guidelines made it impossible for them to bring their Stadia and Xbox Game Pass Ultimate cloud gaming (previously known as Project xCloud) services to iOS devices.
Well, it seems Apple may be looking to melt the ice – the company just updated its App Store guidelines ahead of the release of iOS 14, and they now explicitly state that cloud gaming services are allowed. So, great news right? Time to start streaming a game of Doom Eternal or Gears 5 on your iPhone! Well, not so fast – since this is Apple, there’s still a pretty major catch.
