Gamers in 5G areas will be able to take advantage of 5G Ultra-Fast speed (up to 1 Gbps), which will help them achieve lower latency and high speeds. Orange Belgium is currently rolling out its 5G network, and sees this as a key strategic priority.

Christophe Dujardin, CCO at Orange Belgium, said: “We are continuously improving and optimising the 5G experience for everyone. We’re excited about our partnership with Microsoft as it gives our subscribers the chance to explore the benefits of 5G in Belgium in their gaming pastime. In the future we want to invest more in cloud gaming powered by strong and reliable 5G networks and we are continuously developing and adapting our 5G offers to enhance the game play of our customers.”

Cédric Mimouni, gaming business lead Western Europe at Microsoft, said: “It is a real pleasure to collaborate with Orange Belgium and to offer Xbox All Access to their customers. We want players to have more choice and flexibility in their purchasing options. Xbox All Access makes it easy and affordable to get your choice of console and two years of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate for one all-inclusive monthly price.”
