Sony and Google currently have similar offerings. Later this year our cloud game streaming technology, Project xCloud, will come to Game Pass-so you and your friends can stream and play the games you love together on your devices. We’re also inspired to deliver you our fastest, most powerful console ever that will set a new bar for performance, feel, speed and compatibility when it releases this holiday as well as a library of games from our 15 Xbox Game Studios and thousands of development partners around the world. The service will reportedly function similar to the current Xbox beta feature that allows users to stream games from their home console directly to their other devices. The still-not-officially-named service will allow subscribers to stream games directly to PC, Xbox, Android, and iOS devices. Project xCloud support would solve this problem for Game Pass subscribers. And, if you play as many titles as I do, you’ll end up doing real life inventory management to support your gaming needs. This means you have to plan ahead if you want to try a new game. Unlike Netflix, you have to download the games you want to play. Xbox Game Pass, often mislabeled as a “Netflix for gaming,” is a subscription service featuring access to a library with more than 100 Xbox, Xbox 360, and Xbox One games. This comes after the company revealed subscriber numbers for the first time yesterday, surprising everyone with the news the service had surpassed 10 million users. Microsoft Xbox boss Phil Specter today confirmed the rumors that Game Pass would be getting streaming support in the form of xCloud later this year.
