Microsoft is about to blow the gaming world wide open with the announcement of Project xCloud, a "state-of-the-art global game-streaming technology". This means that players will be able to play their favorite game across multiple devices, including mobile.

"The future of gaming is a world where you are empowered to play the games you want, with the people you want, whenever you want, wherever you are, and on any device of your choosing. Our vision for the evolution of gaming is similar to music and movies -- entertainment should be available on demand and accessible from any screen." wrote Kareem Choudhry, Corporate Vice President, Gaming Cloud.


The goal, according to the Microsoft blog, is to provide players "new choices in when and where they play, while giving mobile only players access to worlds, characters and immersive stories they haven't been able to experience before".

Public trials for Project xCloud will begin in 2019.
