Microsoft launched Project xCloud service and it has a reasonably lengthy listing of video games that might be obtainable to play.
Microsoft reported that subscribers will have the ability to play over 150 video games beginning tomorrow. Also, the service isn’t going to be referred to as Project xCloud anymore.
In reality, it’s not going to be obtainable as a standalone subscription in any respect. The Redmond big goes to bundle its cloud recreation streaming service with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscriptions. That means, if you wish to stream video games in your smartphone, you’ll have to subscribe to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.
The service may help attract casual gamers into Microsoft’s ecosystem, since they don’t need to spend hundreds of dollars on an Xbox. Game streaming is included as part of Microsoft’s $14.99/month Xbox Game Pass Ultimate service, which offers more than 150 Xbox games.
Most games also require an Xbox controller paired to your phone over Bluetooth, though a few like Microsoft’s “Minecraft Dungeons” also support touchscreen controls.
On other hand, the Microsoft cloud gaming service launched officially on 15 September in 22 countries: Austria, Belgium, Canada, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Spain, South Korea, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
In contrast, Microsoft announced a second next-generation console after a leak prompted it to unveil the Xbox Series S. Xbox Series S will be all-digital, have 512GB of storage, target 120 FPS at up to 1,440p, support ray tracing, variable rate shading and variable refresh rate. It’ll also offer 4K upscaling for games and support for 4K media streaming.
Later, it is discontinuing production of the current-generation Xbox One X and the digital version of the Xbox One S, before its new Xbox Series X.
The Xbox One X, released in November 2017, was designed to run games with 4K resolution, and was billed as a high-end version of 2013’s Xbox One.
Also, the firm will be ensuring that all of the first tranche of in-house XSX games will also be available for XB1 consoles. There’s a solid argument there for the company to discontinue the most powerful current console in order to encourage adoption of the next-gen machines.
Noteworthy, Microsoft acquired several new game development studios over the last two years, including Double Fine Productions, Obsidian Entertainment, Playground Games, Ninja Theory and others as a part of growing Xbox Game Studios.
