Microsoft announced on Monday the launch of a streaming service for gaming called Project xCloud. The new offering will leverage Microsoft’s powerful Azure cloud system to enable gamers to play Xbox One games on all devices.
“Our vision for the evolution of gaming is similar to music and movies—entertainment should be available on demand and accessible from any screen,” Microsoft’s corporate VP for gaming cloud, Kareem Choudhry, wrote in a blog post announcing the news.
Public trials for Project xCloud will begin in 2019, and all future and existing Xbox One games will be compatible with the service.
