Using a unique technology, this Project xCloud is expected to be able to help mobile and PC users play console games.

Besides, engineers of in excess of 3,000 titles accessible on Xbox One are as of now set to send their games for gadgets using Project xCloud.

With this platform, Samsung Galaxy phones will have the capacity to run famous games, for example, Battlefield V and RDR2 that are by and by accessible on the console system such as the Xbox One.

We will soon be able to play console games on mobile devices

Sarah Bond from Microsoft amid her keynote discourse at the SDC 2018 uncovered that they are intending to create a platform for games just like how Spotify and Netflix managed to do to music and videos respectively. She also shared Microsoft's ambition is to bring a top-level experience originally on consoles to gamers who are owning a Samsung device.

According to Microsoft Blogs, Microsoft has made some games on Xbox available to play on smartphones wirelessly by adding some changes to their hardware system. They will also use Azure, a cloud system, to support the whole process.

For more details, Project xCloud will allow Samsung Galaxy users to experience console games with a wireless controller via Bluetooth. Furthermore, touchscreen will also be available to play these games.

In fact, there are impediments, for example, videos streaming from afar will suffer bad latency. A great multiplayer network is also not available yet. However, the company is trying their best to resolve these issues with a solid number of great developers.

Insights about the dispatch date and the price of this service are not updated yet. However, Microsoft believes that the open beta should be deployed only one year from now.

Not only Microsoft but Samsung also seems to be really interested in this idea. Early on this year, they had a collaboration with Epic Games in order to make Fortnite available on Android. Samsung Galaxy Note 8 and S8 were also available to support ARCore.
