Product manufacturing firm Samsung earlier this year pressed to be creating a new intertwining partnership with Microsoft for its line of smart phones. At the time back in February, it was told by a spokesperson for Microsoft that this new collaboration would support accessibility across a broader scene of devices looking forward for the future regarding Project xCloud.
It was later disclosed by Samsung elsewhere in a new announcement that the firm’s deal with Microsoft also brought to fruition the ability to play Xbox Game Pass titles on Samsung televisions through the Samsung Access subscription. With that in mind, it only drew the idea for more projects underway at Microsoft and Samsung to further fuel the agreement between the two tech giants leading forward.
While it is not directly signaled from either of the two, it looks users have found a byproduct of this. In a new Instagram post by vapingwithtwisted420, the user shares to be playing Doom Eternal through xCloud on his Samsung refrigerator. You can watch the clip in the video below:
Amazed by this, the Instagram user in a separate post also shared to be in awe that the Xbox Game Pass application can be accessed on the smart refrigerator. Additionally, the poster also shared a second video elsewhere playing Gears 5 on the same display.
Microsoft more recently has discussed the future for xCloud and elaborates on what is ahead for the steam-based platform outside of mobile devices. One anticipated arrival is the Windows 10 version of xCloud which platform lead Phil Spencer frames to be a “great opportunity” set to arrive next year in 2021.
Console are also expected to receive xCloud integration. Both Xbox One & Xbox Series X|S are on the horizon for the service. Most interestingly, Spencer mentioned that Microsoft is currently working to utilize xCloud so Xbox Game Pass owners on both PC & console can demo games ahead of installing the respected client.

Would you use xCloud to play games on your fridge?
xCloud is available for Android-enabled devices and Samsung Smart Fridges, apparently.
