Project xCloud er, ligesom Google Stadia, en platform der er fuldstændig uafhængig af den lokale hardware. Netop fordi spillene streames igennem skyen til enheden, så kan du i princippet nyde præcis lige så godt af den på en iPhone SE, som på en stationær computer. Naturligvis er vi ikke helt der endnu hvor xCloud kan findes på så mange forskellige slags enheder, men det er visionen.
I et interview med The Verge fortæller Phil Spencer, at hans håb er at xCloud ekspanderes til det punkt hvor du kan finde appen på alle platforme, og dermed bruge den på alle de skærme du ejer.
"Over time we will continue to expand how we introduce streaming as part of the platform, and playing games that you own that aren't part of the subscription. For launch we're putting it in Ultimate for no additional cost. We think it's a good audience for us to start with, and it's an audience that plays a lot of games. We want to bring Project xCloud, eventually, to every screen that someone can stream games to. Right now we're just saying mobile. There are discussions going on and we're working through things. We'll talk more specifically about which mobile devices through August and the September launch. We want that trial to be as easy as it is in music and video today, where I can send you a track in Spotify today and you can stream it instantly. Over time, anywhere I see a game I should be able to give it a try."
Har du prøvet xCloud endnu?
