Project xCloud is claimed to be able to stream Xbox One games across PCs, smartphones, and tablets, and is currently undergoing testing at Microsoft. Public tests are set to open up in 2019.

From the Official Microsoft Blog, the company also claims that game developers will not need to do the heavy lifting, and will be able to utilise Project xCloud “with no additional work.”

Our goal with Project xCloud is to deliver a quality experience for all gamers on all devices that’s consistent with the speed and high-fidelity gamers experience and expect on their PCs and consoles.
