Over the past couple of months, the team working on Project xCloud has received some great and insightful feedback on how people are playing games in the Project xCloud preview. The team read anecdotes about picking up an old favourite on a lunch break or finally getting to that game that’s been sitting in your back-log. Xbox coders have also heard that many of you have enjoyed a new game that wasn’t previously on your radar.
At Xbox they want to help all of us discover that next great adventure while making it as easy as possible to view the game and jump in. To do so, the devs are rolling out a new feature to Project xCloud preview starting today for Android phone and/or tablet users in all preview markets.
When you open up the Xbox Game Streaming preview app, you’ll see a set of trailers for five different games you can swipe through at your leisure. As you watch the trailer, the game will load in the background and if a particular game catches your eye, you can jump in and play or keep searching for something else.
Over time, the team behind Project xCloud will continue to mix in new trailers to keep things fresh and to help you try something new.
The Project xCloud preview is all about iterating, getting your input, and continuing to build great experiences. Please test this feature out and provide feedback to let the team know what you think of it. You can provide feedback in the app and help shape the future of game streaming.
