Xbox Cloud Gaming is becoming quite a big focus for Microsoft. Often, new Game Pass arrivals include cloud support, with touch controls also being added to new cloud gaming titles on mobile devices. However, did you know of this little bonus regarding cloud gaming DLC?
Xbox's Eden Marie has once again taken to Twitter with a little FYI for all of us using cloud gaming. Marie says that Xbox Cloud Gaming servers are already loaded with a game's DLC, so if you own it, it'll automatically be applied and playable. That's pretty neat!
Of course, you have to own and have said DLC tied to your account for it to show up, but this is a nice bonus indeed. It's yet another Xbox feature that just makes gaming on Microsoft's platform more seamless, much like smart delivery for next-gen titles.
If we were to push this one a little further, it'd be really cool to see more DLC included with Game Pass / Xbox Cloud Gaming additions. Sure, it's a bit of a pipe dream considering the game itself would already be included in the subscription price, but every now and then a big DLC drop would be a nice Xbox Game Pass perk. Here's hoping!
Would you like to see Xbox add DLC to Game Pass / Cloud titles? Let us know down below!

This has worked since the betas of XCloud not even sure why this has never been touted at all. Honestly there's tons people don't realize about gamepass/cloud.
Was alerted to this two days ago by Chicken Possible’s excellent achievement hunter videos on YouTube.
Handy to have. If you're playing a game on cloud you're not likely to switch platform just to play the DLC. It's even more of an issue if it's the kind of DLC that changes a lot of the game.
I agree about DLC on Game Pass. I know there's "Ultimate Editions" of some older games on there, but I guess they want you to still pony up the extra for DLC. At least you get a small discount.
@Jsb5150 cause it's a jab at Sony since you can't with their cloud service ,now we will mention it the other service can't
It's been nearly 9 years since Sony released the "Official PlayStation Used Game Instructional Video", and I don't have the heart to tell the youtube commentors what Team Xbox has been doing to Sony over on Twitter.
Xbox must still be feeling sore from that used game video to keep taking jabs lol

They are pretty open about what happened, and have clearly learnt from it.
14:30 "I think MS leanred the hard way, that if you don't put gamers and games at the centre of your ambition, it's going to come back and bite you".
It would be nice if Sony were capable of learning the same lessons, but they are insulated from it by the fans.
@Martsmall that's fine with me they been jabbing at Xbox for ages both with right and balogna.
