Microsoft step foot into the game streaming segment with Project xCloud earlier last year. The service arrived in Preview in November to take on rivals, including Nvidia’s GeForce Now and Google Stadia. You, however, need an invite to get into the xCloud preview at the moment. That won’t be necessary later his year as Microsoft has today confirmed its plans to officially launch Project xCloud, along with the price and availability details.
I got access to Project xCloud in preview around six months ago. I have tested xCloud on two Android devices — the Galaxy Tab S5 and Nokia 7 Plus, both of them running popular Xbox games quite well. I mean, you get access to close to 100 Xbox titles on a mobile phone and that is downright crazy. I did need to use a high-speed VPN service to get the lowest ping possible and run games smoothly.
