News & Reviews:   xcloud

Remember that news about an Xbox games streaming device? Allegedly, Microsoft is working on a device that lets gamers stream Xbox games on monitors and TVs. Well, that rumour might be true after all, as renders of the so-called Xbox Stream box was leaked.

We talked about Microsoft's xCloud before and in case you don't remember what is it - it's a gaming streaming platform that allows gamers to access online on a website. The company has been working on it for several months now and they are now having a test before sending out to the public.

Amazon had a big event yesterday and launched a variety of new products. But aside from new devices, there's also a new service aimed at gamers. Specifically, we're talking about the Amazon Luna, Amazon's new cloud gaming service that's now in early access.

As announced back in July, Microsoft is looking to launch its xCloud games streaming platform this month. The platform should go live officially later tonight or by tomorrow in about 22 regions, including countries in Europe, the United States, and South Korea. Microsoft will also be starting strong with over 150 games to be available at launch.

Microsoft has been relatively tight-lipped when it comes to its games streaming platform - Project xCloud. But in the latest official post by Head of Xbox Phil Spencer, the launch window for the service was finally revealed. Project xCloud is expected to launch later in September 2020.

Gaming events like E3 2020 could get cancelled, but if something is ready then companies would probably still launch it. One service that's apparently coming soon is Microsoft's Project xCloud for the PC. A source has claimed to have seen hints of a game streaming test app being in used and believes it to be streaming service.
