Microsoft announced a big expansion to its Project xCloud streaming service today. At X019, the company revealed over 50 additional games for xCloud. This is a big jump from the initial five titles that were available at the initial launch just one month prior.
Microsoft is now working with over 25 partners to bring these 50 games to you. Some of these titles include Tekken 7, Madden NFL 20, World War Z, and Just Cause 4 to name a few. This should give current testers a large pool of very different games to select from in order to put the service through its paces.
So far, xCloud really isn't at a point where Microsoft is comfortable giving specifics about it. We do not yet know when it will be launched to the public. We also don't know how pricing will be handled, or even if it will be a monthly cost, just pay per game, or something else entirely. However, Microsoft is committed to launching xCloud in 2020.
xCloud was announced about a year ago and a half ago. This is a streaming service that will allow you to play Xbox titles at home or on the go on a huge number of supported devices. At its core, it will work a lot like Google Stadia. This means you would be able to play Xbox games on your phone, tablet, smart TV, and the like.
However, the big difference between xCloud and Stadia is the fact that Stadia is launching with just 12 titles. xCloud, on the other hand, already has over 50 and it's still only in a closed preview phase.
As another bonus, Microsoft announced today that xCloud will include support for controllers that aren't the Xbox One Controller. They specifically mention that you can use Sony's DualShock 4 or a Razer Junglecat with xCloud.
A full list of games available right now on xCloud can be found below. Thanks to The Verge for this handy, easy to read list of developers and games.
