According to the company, xCloud will launch sometime in October 2019 (as preview), and no surprising, the game streaming service will allow anyone to play Xbox titles on multiple devices, including on your computer, tablet, laptop, phone, and of course, your TV — just like with Google Stadia. Perhaps one of the most exciting aspects of xCloud that you’ll also be able to stream games directly from your console. The ability to stream games from an Xbox console has been available for a long time, but it was limited to the local network and on a Windows 10 computer. Microsoft has to share more details on how it’ll leverage the cloud to offer a good remote play experience from your other devices and from outside the local network. Out of the game, Project xCloud will support every Xbox One title, which includes more than 3500 games. While cloud game streaming service was part of the briefing, the company didn’t unveil many specific details, such as hardware and internet requirements, expected latency, pricing, or how the subscription will work. Microsoft’s xCloud is expected to compete directly with Sony’s PlayStation Network and Google’s new Stadia service. Google recently unveiled that its Stadia cloud will go live in November, and while it’ll cost $9.99, there’ll be a free tier of the service.
