Microsoft’s Project xCloud registrations are open now

In an attempt to rival Google’s Stadia and Sony PS4 Remote Play, Microsoft is coming out with a new game streaming service. The service named Project xCloud lets you play any of the games available for console on you hand-held android device. Soon you’ll be able to stream all your favorite Xbox titles anywhere on the go…

Microsoft Project xCloud Hands-On: Xbox games on your phone from r/AndroidGaming

As expected for any game streaming service, a rather fast internet connection will be needed. While Stadia, upon launching will only support Wi-Fi connectivity and not cellular, xCloud will support all 4G, 5G as well as Wi-Fi connections.

Microsoft is also planning to team up with major service providers to amp up its game. Last week Vodafone announced about its collaboration with Microsoft to work on the improvement of the Project xCloud.

Trial for the beta of the project will start next month, in October 2019. There will be two ways to stream. 

We’re proud to be the first UK network to partner with Microsoft on its Project #xCloud trial, to explore how 5G and 4G networks can optimise the cloud-based gaming experience for gamers.
