Microsoft drops a slightly unusual batch of new playable owned gamesforXboxCloud Gaming

Today, Microsoft unveiled eleven fresh games as part of its Xbox Cloud Gaming service, “Play Games from the Cloud,” which includes some unexpected titles that may surprise you. (Information sourced from True Achievements.)

Just added to our list are some quality indie games from the latest collection, such as Construction Simulator, Empire of the Ants, and Predator: Hunting Grounds.

Kill time before Predator: Badlands is out in theatres with Predator: Hunting Ground, now on Xbox’s Stream Your Own Game library

Among the games in this collection, none surpasses the thrill of Predator: Hunting Grounds, a competitive PvP Shooter from 2021, inspired by the Predator franchise. In this game, a group of players are sent to conquer objectives within the wilderness, while one player assumes the role of the legendary Predator, hunting them down.

As a tech enthusiast, I’ve dived into the latest Predator video game, and here’s my take: It’s stirred up quite a conversation among critics and gamers, with an average score of 56 on Metacritic, based on 56 reviews from the critique community. Yet, it’s a must-play for die-hard Predator fans who appreciate its commitment to faithfully adapting the movie experience. The thrill of embodying the Predator and the chilling sensation of being hunted by one are experiences that truly capture the essence of the franchise.

As the new Predator: Badlands movie hits theaters on November 7, 2025, it’s quite convenient that this game has been included in the Xbox’s Stream Your Own Game collection. This game offers a wealth of missions and intense combat to keep fans of the Predator franchise occupied for weeks, with numerous cosmetic skins as rewards (many more are still being added, even four years after the game’s initial release).

Although more games on Xbox Cloud Gaming are always appreciated, it’s surprising that Microsoft hasn’t integrated many of its own titles into the service yet. Instead, it appears they’re aiming for a haphazard selection of games for inclusion. It can be challenging to predict which games will receive the “bring your own game” Xbox Cloud Gaming feature, but hopefully, it’ll broaden to encompass all games in time.

The game “Predator: Hunting Grounds” can be played on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and personal computers running Windows or Steam.
