Players will be able to choose between an annual subscription to the platform for $29.99 or $79.99 for lifetime access. The service will be available in Europe, UK, USA, and Canada.

The company says these titles will be playable instantly without additional downloads or installation via its cloud gaming platform, with more titles being added every week. This is notable as Antstream will be the first third-party game streaming service on Xbox.
Antstream Arcade is already available on Mac, PC, Linux, Android TV, Firestick and Samsung TVs, but this marks the first time it is coming to a game console.
In total, the addition of the service marks Xbox's biggest content drop in history.
Users can acquire achievements for their online profile, plus the platform supports cloud saves, online high scores and resume play.
This was also one of the Cloud companies mentioned by the CMA but were discarded because they focus on Retro titles only.
