nhl 23 on pc

@neo_dakin Xbox Cloud Gaming will support your game library later this year - The Verge
Well NHL technically isn't already in the cloud, it is just on Game Pass. However, they could easily make NHL 22 open to Xcloud right now if they wanted to with no implementation on their part. Unless of course the Stadia deal is in place for NHL too? Even though NHL never released on Stadia.

Basically select games will be available that are outside of the Game Pass Library to be streamed via Xcloud, opening Xcloud's service to thousands of more games. Since the games aren't on Game Pass (which NHL 23 won't be at the beginning of the year) you would still have to buy the game but I'm fine with that, I just want to play it lol. All EA has to do is to allow NHL 23 to be able to be streamed via Xcloud once Microsoft implements this feature. If they don't, well I think we would all have the right to be angry. It's no implementation on EA's part and it allows for hundreds of thousands of more gamers to be able to play NHL, whether it's on PC, Mobile, or just a SmartTV! So yes, you can use Xcloud to play console games on PC (You can currently play MLB The Show and NBA 2K through Xcloud on PC, and used to be able to play Madden before they made a deal with Stadia for a year or whatever it was).
