Microsoft's xCloud game streaming service, in testing among its employees, can stream 3,500+ Xbox games without developers making any changes to their titles

this hints that it won't just be a US service at launch” So they're matching Project Stadia here https://twitter.com/... @colteastwood : XCloud has the capability to play 3,500 Xbox One library games, plus 1,600 on the way. No extra work from Developers, unlike Google Stadia. All the Developers have to do is approve their game to be streamed outside of the Xbox console. They'd be crazy NOT to! :) #Xcloud #Azure @cnetnews : The company still hasn't said when it'll start testing the service publicly, or how much it'll cost. https://cnet.co/2K1nxz7 Timdog / @beastfiretimdog : This is extremely impressive. 3500 games avail on Xcloud. Xbox making games easier and more accessible. Damn !!! Read that pic.twitter.com/cLipv7PLr0 Jared Eden / @ragevirus_x : Devs are gonna love this #xCloud pic.twitter.com/aXz8tHm8OO Tom Warren / @tomwarren : Sounds like we'll have way more xCloud and Stadia details at E3 next month. Google's challenge is getting games https://twitter.com/... Márcio M. Silva / @marciojmsilva : Every Xbox One title will be playable on Project xCloud http://dlvr.it/R5Mm5J pic.twitter.com/XtYRbvHz0j @zalker87 : The tech and coding behind XCloud has to be pretty damn impressive. I would LOVE to see how the Software Engineers were able to accomplish something so cool. Developer's are able to develop for Xbox and have it compatible with XCloud. Xbox HAS a BUNCH of GAMES. pic.twitter.com/cLKkxlK4uB Patrick Beja / @notpatrick : Confirmation that all XBox games will run on xCloud (so original XBOX, 360 and One, if I understand correctly). Might need to deal with rights holders to enable them so it might not be every single one, but this is exciting stuff! Universal XBOX library! https://news.xbox.com/... https://twitter.com/... Romit Mehta / @theromit : The new normal? “...developers will be able to dramatically scale their existing games across devices, with no additional development, no additional code base maintenance and no separate updates."https://news.xbox.com/ ... @wcstillwell : This is the one of the things I am most excited about. Any game made today, any game made in the future, all capable of working on Project xCloud Project xCloud: More for Gamers and Developers https://news.xbox.com/... via @xboxwire @majornelson : Last fall we announced Project xCloud, our game-streaming technology. @Kareem_Choudhry, Corporate Vice President - Gaming Cloud at Microsoft, provides an update & our vision of playing the games you want, with the people you want, on the devices you want https://majornelson.com/... https://twitter.com/... @alexsherak : This is the Key part of the xCloud update article here—> https://news.xbox.com/... No work needed by the Devs to make the game streamable. Means EVERYTHING can be streamed. This coupled with the contextual controls outlined at GDC means an exciting future! https://twitter.com/...
