What Is Project xcloud?
Project xCloud is the streaming service for Microsoft's video game, allowing players to quickly access cast to Xbox one and PC games via an internet connection to their device of choice. You're not going to download the games you're playing in Project xCloud, similar to the system used by Google Stadia. These will instead be downloaded from Microsoft's servers, using the Azure Cloud platform introduced in games such as Crackdown 3 and Titanfall. 54 separate Azure regions around the globe should provide customers with reliable service regardless of where they are based.

The xCloud project is not intended to replace traditional digital and disc-based gaming. Instead, Microsoft hopes it will open up console-quality gaming to those who currently lack or can only play on mobile devices with the necessary hardware to do so. It also means players may experience a single Xbox or PC game they are involved in without purchasing a whole machine.
