How exactly do the XBox Game Pass Ultimate and xCloud work?

These are maybe very stupid questions, but I'm not getting through the whole thing at all.

So I have a few questions about the XBox Game Pass Ultimate and xCloud.

I have to subscribe to the XBox Game Pass Ultimate to have access to a catalog of over 100 games (which is constantly being expanded and reduced) right?
XBox Game Pass Ultimate is probably the best deal because it probably has all the features? For 12.99 euro a month, if I'm not mistaken?
XBox Game Pass Ultimate also includes xCloud, right?
Are all (exclusive) titles from Microsoft Studios available directly in XBox Game Pass Ultimate from release on (such as The Microsoft Flight Simulator, Halo, Forza, Minecraft or Hellblade)?
Will these (exclusive) titles from Microsoft Studios remain in the XBox Game Pass Ultimate FOREVER or can they be removed like other titles from other studios?
Can I use xCloud to stream ANY game from the XBox Game Pass Ultimate that I have subscribed to, or is it only certain games?
Is it possible to buy games in xCloud or in the XBox Game Pass Ultimate, which then belong to me forever and are ALWAYS available to me in the Game Pass? (Assuming Red Dead Redemption 2 will be included in the XBox Game Pass by the end of this year: can I buy it normally to keep it there forever?)
Are the XBox 360 games included in the XBox Game Pass (and xCloud), such as B. Red Dead Redemption 1 or GTA 4?
XCloud is currently still in beta and so far only available for Android and tablets. Will other devices be supported at some point (e.g. TV)?
If TV should be supported at some point, what do I need to be able to use xCloud on TV? Do I need an XBox? Somehow the picture of the game has to be on TV.
XBox Game Pass Ultimate and xCloud are currently available for PC, XBox and Android, right?
Is it possible to use another controller instead of the XBox controller? I don't like the ergonomics of the XBox controller and would probably use the PS4 controller if necessary.
Does it all work WITHOUT an XBox? I once had an XBox One Digital Edition and was very dissatisfied with the interface and the operation. On top of that, I assumed I could buy and play the backwards compatible XBox 360 titles there, but I couldn't. According to the information displayed, I should be making these purchases on an XBox 360. Anyway, I've been very disappointed with an XBox since then.

I'm really sorry if the questions are a bit long and sometimes guaranteed incredibly stupid.

It would be great if the answers came from personal experience and did not contain links to the Microsoft pages of the XBox Game Pass Ultimate and / or xCloud.

I have already informed myself on these pages, but the whole thing is not that clear to me.

1. Yes, but Ultimate stands for that you can play on any platform. Ultimate costs 13 euro, for Pc & Xboc it costs 10 euro.

2. Exactly

3. Jap

4. Yes they are, but there are also titles like Halo 5 that are only available for the Xbox and not for Pc.

5. They stay forever

6. Yes you can.

7. If you buy Red Dead Redemption 2, you keep that too. If you only have this through the Game Pass, the game disappears after the game contract with Microsoft expires

8. No.

9. TV's should also be supported soon yes.

iPhones and iPads are likely to remain outsiders again. Apple was just too late.

10. You only need an xbox controller and a smart TV. The Xbox Game Psss is then like Netflix an app.

That's how easy it is!

11. That's right.

12. No that doesn't work! And the ergonomics are actually more pleasant with the Xbox controller. But yes. If the hands of the Playstation players slowly deform, then the controller is of course no longer ergonomic for them.

13. Yes, it all works without an Xbox.

Ultimate stands for the combination of gamepass and Xbox live on the Xbox.

And it costs 12.99 and without Xbox live 9.99.

Ke

That is half true.

The Xbox Game Pass Ultimate includes both Xbox Live and Game Pass, but there's also EA Access & XCloud, X Cloud is XGP Ultimate Exclusive.

12.99 or 13 euro that doesn't matter

Ma

Half-value correct?

Do you even read and understand what you say about yourself?

You wrote, "however, Ultimate stands for which you can play on any platform. Ultimate costs 13 euro, for Pc & Xboc it costs 10 euro".

Ultimate costs 12.99 on both systems. Includes cloud streaming and live on Xbox with Xbox.

The normal gamepass without cloud streaming costs 9.99 on both and the missing Xbox live on the console.

So it's not about whether 12.99 equals 13, but that you wrote Ultimate costs 13 on PC and 10 on Xbox.

Which is simply wrong.

By the way, EA play is not yet a component and whether the price will stay that way in the future can also be doubted.

Ke

The Xbox Game Pass costs 9.99 euro per month for consoles.

The Xbox Game Pass costs 9.99 euro per month for Pc (previously 3.99 euro)

Xbox Live costs 7.99 a month

The Xbox Game Pass Ultimate costs 1 euro for the first month, then 12.99 euro per month.

It is right that way.

Ma

Do you want to kid me?

Here again your answer as a quote so that on the third attempt you will notice what it was about and what it is about.

however, Ultimate stands for that you can play on any platform. Ultimate costs 13 euro, for Pc & Xboc it costs 10 euro

You write cheese and I got that right. No more and no less.

In this context, it doesn't matter whether the first month costs 1 euro, previously the price on PC was 3.99 or how much Xbox Live costs.

And even then, you're wrong again.

Xbox live costs 6.99 a month.

You don't need to repeat me because my statement is true, contrary to your answer.

Gamepass 9.99

Gampass Ultimate 12.99
