Could see me playing some PC Game Pass games on my iphone.

I have gamepass ultimate but have never considered the PC stuff as all I have is a Chromebook?

Most likely a stupid question but can I play PC games via gamepass with my Chromebook?

“If” there is an Android app you may be able to install that and play whatever games are available to android devices.

Finally, today we’re announcing that this September, in supported countries, we’re bringing Xbox Game Pass and Project xCloud together at no additional cost for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate members. With cloud gaming in Game Pass Ultimate, you will be able to play over 100 Xbox Game Pass titles on your phone or tablet. And because Xbox Live connects across devices, you can play along with the nearly 100 million Xbox Live players around the world. So when Halo Infinite launches, you and your friends can play together and immerse yourselves in the Halo universe as Master Chief—anywhere you go and across devices.

Xbox Game Pass Ultimate will be the only way to access xCloud streaming at launch, but it won’t always be limited to Microsoft’s top subscription tier.

“Over time we will continue to expand how we introduce streaming as part of the platform, and playing games that you own that aren’t part of the subscription,” says Microsoft’s Xbox chief Phil Spencer in an interview with The Verge. “For launch we’re putting it in Ultimate for no additional cost. We think it’s a good audience for us to start with, and it’s an audience that plays a lot of games.”

While everyone accessing xCloud game streaming in September will do so through a phone or tablet, Microsoft isn’t detailing which devices will be supported just yet.

“We want to bring xCloud, eventually, to every screen that someone can stream games to. Right now we’re just saying mobile,” says Spencer. “There are discussions going on and we’re working through things. We’ll talk more specifically about which mobile devices through August and the September launch.”

Project xCloud won’t even be the final name for Microsoft’s game streaming service. “This isn’t the official name, but you should think about it as Game Pass streaming or Xbox streaming, something like that,” explains Spencer. “We actually don’t have the final name just yet, but it won’t be Project xCloud.”

Does this mean they may do an app on the Xbox so you can play the PC gamepass games?
Feel free to call me an idiot if that makes zero sense.

Bit of a game changer that, although it makes the XSX console itself less alluring than chucking that money onto a new GPU or possibly PS5.

It's this bit I didn't know, I thought there'd be something you could only play if you had an XSX console.

The same place it was before, really. Anyone who had even the slightest interest in XCloud could have tried it out months ago. A catchier name and some advertising will probably draw a bigger crowd, but it's already a better service than anything Google offers.
