Back in 2018, Microsoft announced that it was working on Project xCloud game-streaming service. Project xCloud, which is in beta testing, allows users to stream Xbox One games to their smartphones. Similar to Google Stadia, you won’t be able to download games you play on Project xCloud. Instead, they will be streaming from Microsoft’s servers, which takes advantage of Azure cloud services. There are over 50 games currently available on Project xCloud.
