Microsoft has started rolling out the Public Preview of its much talked-about Project xCloud game streaming service to select users in the US, UK and South Korea. The beta version of the service only has four games for now, although the company says it will add more titles going forward. The list includes games like Gears 5, Halo 5: Guardians, Killer Instinct and Sea of Thieves, all of which will be accessible for preview testers regardless of their existing Xbox One library.
Proud of the #ProjectxCloud team for launching the public preview – it’s an exciting time at Xbox. Invitations are rolling out now and will continue over the coming weeks. We’re excited for all of you to help shape the future of game streaming.
On an official blog post announcing the public preview program last month, Microsoft’s cloud gaming chief, Kareem Choudhury, said: “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”.
