Xbox must offer third party games purchased online and demos on xcloud

I would like to play Elden Ring but I would like to try the game first before buying it since I'm still mixed on whether I'm going to like it or not. I don't want to buy a console or gaming PC because I don't think I'm in this target audience anymore and so far cloud gaming despite its flaws is perfect for my needs. I know that the game could eventually land in the gamepass someday but with the critical and commercial success of the game it is unlikely it will be soon enough. Also when you know that Guardians of the Galaxy reportedly cost between [$5-10 Millions](https://www.gfinityesports.com/guardians-of-the-galaxy/xbox-game-pass-cost-microsoft-5-to-10-million/) while being a "commercial failure", even for Microsoft the cost would be "unreasonable". So I think that Xbox should quickly offer the ability to run third-party games purchased online and demo on xcloud and put at the same level xcloud and series s/x consoles.

Also third-party games once in the gamepass should be permanently integrated.
