Game Pass will have the option to stream too
Project xCloud, as it exists right now, is Microsoft’s means for streaming Xbox games to mobile devices. That’s not the extent of Microsoft’s vision, however. Next year, it’s landing on a platform that’s more commonly associated with triple-A games.
During today’s X019 episode of Inside Xbox, Microsoft revealed that Project xCloud is expanding to Windows 10 PCs in 2020. Theoretically, it’ll work the same as it does on Android-supported phones and tablets. Microsoft’s Azure cloud technology will turn any Windows 10 machine into a gaming rig via streaming, regardless of its specs. It’s a natural step in Xbox’s “Play anything, anywhere, at any time” mindset that it has spent the last few years pursuing.
The future of Project xCloud even stretches beyond Xbox One gamepads. Microsoft also announced that it’s enabling support for a wide range of Bluetooth controllers next year. The most surprising addition: PlayStation’s DualShock 4 controller.
