You're really not going to find anything worth playing on a chromebook. I mean they're not supposed to be used as anything more than light internet browsing. Their whole appeal is having lightning fast boot times because they have barely anything to load. Play games installed on your Xbox console, including Xbox Game Pass titles, to any compatible Android or iOS device – no waiting for downloads. Currently excludes backward compatible titles from Xbox 360 or Original Xbox. Xbox Wireless Controllers accompanying the Xbox Series X and Xbox One X.
Can Chromebook Play Games
Aug 24, 2020 You can use your Xbox One controller just fine, and even the old, underpowered, four-year-old Chromebook I have access to right now powers through xCloud with ease. The loading times are a bit. May 22, 2019 Roblox is available for Android, Windows, macOS, iOS, and Xbox. Unfortunately, if you want to create your own Roblox Obby, Roblox Developer software is only available on Windows and Mac operating systems. You can, however, play it on your Chromebook—assuming it has access to the Android apps in the Google Play Store.
You can't actually use Microsoft's cloud gaming service on a Windows 10 laptop officially yet, but it works pretty well on a Chromebook.
Microsoft's Project xCloud, or the soon to be known (and much less catchy) cloud gaming for Xbox Game Pass, is about to be a real, paid-for product. It's already a very compelling product, but has fairly limited reach in that you need to be using Android to actually get any mileage from it. That will surely change, but for now, it's where we are.
However, there is also Google's Chromebooks. These have Android baked in with access to the Play Store. The older, Game Streaming preview app doesn't install from the Play Store, but the Xbox Game Pass app does, and it just got access to xCloud. And you know something? It works really well.
xCloud on Chromebooks
Xbox Game Pass (Beta)

Game Pass subscribers can check out xCloud on a Chromebook right now with the Xbox Game Pass (Beta) app from the Play Store, and it's pretty good.
Wait, what? Chromebooks?
© Provided by Windows CentralThat's absolutely 100% correct. And not only does it work, but it's a very good experience. You can use your Xbox One controller just fine, and even the old, underpowered, four-year-old Chromebook I have access to right now powers through xCloud with ease. The loading times are a bit longer than on a new Android phone or tablet, but once you're in, you're in.
It's not a difficult process, either. So long as your Chromebook has the Google Play Store you're golden. No sideloading, no hunting for APKs. Simply load up, search for the Xbox Game Pass (Beta) app (though this will be available in the regular app before long) and install it on your Chromebook.

Once you fire up xCloud now you'll be ready to roll.
A surprisingly good experience
© Provided by Windows CentralThe Game Pass app scales really well on a Chromebook, going into a forced fullscreen view as it would be on a tablet. It's not perfect, but it looks quite close to a desktop app like the Xbox (Beta) on Windows 10.
From there on out the only limitations really are your network conditions like any other device you use xCloud on. The loading times will probably be better on newer hardware than I have, but once the game has loaded up there's no hiccups. I've sat and played a bunch of games and aside from being on a laptop, it's exactly the same experience as I've had on an Android phone.
Perhaps even better. That might be down to the Intel Wi-Fi hardware inside the laptop, it might be further improvements to the xCloud service in recent weeks, or it could be a total placebo. But I'll openly admit I've had a mixed experience with the service on a phone to this point, but it feels good on a Chromebook.
A teasing glimpse of Windows support

© Provided by Windows CentralDoes it sting a bit that you can use xCloud on a Chromebook before a Windows laptop? Sure does. But it's also a teasing glimpse of how good support should be when it finally does arrive.
Aside from the badge on the OS and UI differences, you would expect that Windows 10 support will be just as good as it is on a Chromebook. That's one of the more exciting parts here.
For now, it's certainly helped breathe some new life into this old laptop. We know it's coming to Windows 10 this year and that it's in testing, but it's a waiting game for the time being.
