Microsoft Gives More Details To Project xCloud During Inside Xbox
During this week's Inside Xbox, we got a brief preview of the new Project xCloud system and what it means for Microsoft and Xbox players. The company did a slight preview of what the platform is and how the tech works to stream games from the cloud. Essentially, the Xbox version of what Google Stadia has been promoting. You can read more here and at the link above, and also watch the video below which we have starting up where the conversation takes place.
Since announcing Project xCloud just under a year ago, we've been on a journey to create, develop, and prepare the technology for gamers. A big step for us was opening up the program to Microsoft employees – since then I've enjoyed seeing people's excitement and hearing the stories of how they play. At home, I've been using Project xCloud to play Sea of Thieves with my kids while they're playing on the console and PC. Around the office, I've seen our team having an amazing time playing Halo 5: Guardians tournaments and Gears 5 campaign on nothing more than a phone or tablet. We saw the same joy of gaming as we shared the experience with fans at E3 and gamescom, and now we're ready for what's next.
Today we're inviting the community to take the next step with us and join the Project xCloud (Preview), coming this October to the United States, United Kingdom and Korea.
Public preview is a critical phase in our multi-year ambition to deliver game streaming globally at the scale and quality of experience that the gaming community deserves and expects. It's time to put Project xCloud to the test in a broader capacity, with a range of gamers, devices, network environments and real-world use-case scenarios, and this is where you come in. At Xbox, we've made it a priority to engage with all of you to help in the creation process. We now want you to play with us and share your feedback on Project xCloud so we can iterate and improve, week after week. Join us, have fun playing, share your stories and feedback, and be part of the journey.
