Over 100 games will be available to play on xCloud, though Microsoft only mentioned a handful of them in their statement, including Destiny 2, Grounded, Minecraft Dungeons, and Sea of Thieves. Many are already included in Game Pass.
The idea is to make them playable on nearly any device and without having to access your console or TV to do it.
Microsoft said you can use xCloud on any Android device and jump back into the game the same as if you were playing at home. That includes multiplayer, achievement tracking, player profiles, and save data.
Project xCloud itself is free, included as part of your monthly Game Pass Ultimate subscription. And the company plans on releasing a number of control grips and accessories to make mobile gaming more comfortable and practical too.
We considered Project xCloud to be at the pinnacle of game streaming when we tried it out a short while ago. Stay tuned to GameSkinny for more Xbox news as it develops.
