Google’s Stadia and Microsoft’s Project xCloud both are seeking the same goal and both are growing up in approximately the same speed. While Google has promised brand new set of information for its streaming platform sometime in Summer, Microsoft will probably reveal more about its Project xCloud at E3 2019 and in order to make the audience ready for more details, the company provided new update on its big project ahead.
According to Microsoft’s official blogpost, Project xCloud in its current phase is able to stream 3500 games of which 1900 are being developed for Xbox One. The Redmond team has revealed that developers need nothing to do if they want to make their titles available on xCloud. In other words, the will develop their projects in the same way they always do and making it accessible through Microsoft’s streaming giant is up to the company itself. Also the service will be able to adjust the graphics and enhancements settings regarding the device that the game is being streamed on.
Servers that are dedicated to Azure cloud technology are now available in 13 regions all around the world, including North America, Europe and Asia, which means unlike Stadia, Project xCloud won’t be regionally limited at launch, or if it would, the available regions will be more than what Google has promised for Stadia.
Microsoft is currently testing the service within the company’s employees and according to the feedback, servers still need to be under development. However, Microsoft’s vision on bringing video games available on every connected device doesn’t seem to be far away from us.
It’s safe to say that more information will come out at E3 2019 for Project xCloud and probably its launch date.
