In February, Samsung announced that it was working with Microsoft to offer a "premium cloud-based game streaming experience," and now we have a pretty good idea what that will look like on the Samsung Galaxy Note 20

If the rumor proves true, the Galaxy Note 20 and Galaxy Note 20 Ultra may blow away the iPhone 12 when it comes to gaming, with console-quality titles that can compete with Apple Arcade

According to a leak from MySmartPrice, those who purchase the Samsung Galaxy Note 20 will receive 3 months free access to Xbox Game Pass This information comes from Ishan Agarwal, a leaker via Twitter with a considerable track record when it comes to Samsung product information

Additionally, the Galaxy Note 20 will reportedly come with a MOGA X5-X+ Game controller designed for playing Xbox games on the phone This gamepad will be a pre-order bonus in "select countries"

In July, WinFuture reported that the Galaxy Note 20 will be able to stream Xbox games via Project xCloud project xCloud is Microsoft's Xbox Game Pass subscription service later this year later this year There will be more than 90 games that can be streamed on cell phones, which will apparently turn them into "portable game consoles"

According to the Xbox Game Pass website, the subscription service will offer more than 100 high-quality console and PC games Titles range from "Halo: The Master Chief Collection" and "Gears 5" to "Forza Horizon 4" and "The Witcher 3"

In addition to access to games on the Galaxy Note 20, Xbox Game Pass members also have other benefits According to Microsoft, they can save up to 20% on game purchases on Xbox One Microsoft previously revealed that Project xCloud streaming will be part of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, which will cost $1499 per month and include Game Pass console, Game Pass PC, Xbox Live Gold for $1499/month

In comparison, Apple Arcade costs $499/month and has over 100 games, playable on iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple TV In general, the titles are of high quality, but not as well known as the franchises offered on Xbox Game Pass

It is worth noting that Project xCloud streaming will eventually be brought to iOS and is currently in iOS beta, but is currently limited to one game If Samsung gets access to Xbox Game Pass ahead of Apple, the Galaxy Note 20 could be much more attractive than the iPhone for serious gamers

What is unclear is how well Xbox Game Pass games will be optimized for the Galaxy Note 20's touchscreen and S Pen If a controller is required, this would limit the appeal of this cloud-based service

Still, between the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra's 120Hz display, faster new Snapdragon 865 Plus processor, and 5G connectivity standard, Xbox Game Pass could make the Note 20 the ultimate gaming phone It may not be
