This streaming platform made its first appearance in March and visitors to the E3 conference were able to see it in action. Phil Spencer, the head of the Xbox brand, revealed that it will allow gamers to transform an Xbox console into an XCloud server, allowing them to stream games to connected devices.
Live gameplay video will be sent to the compatible device and controller codes are sent in the opposite direction. It will be a free cloud gaming service, designed to sit alongside disk-based games and digital downloads on Scarlett.
