I hope by Australia they also mean NZ as we're the same region but I expect not.

Just saw the news on Twitter. I'm very curious to see how it'll play here in Brazil since our internet here is not great, I always thought it wasn't possible to handle something like xCloud or Stadia.

Awesome

I guess covid really messed their plans as they wanted to launch sooner.

But great that they have even more countries lined up

I trust ms to deploy these services in all south america down the line. Hopefully so that Sony feels the pressure and brings ps now here as well.

Sweet, I also was looking the other day and there is another half dozen games that now support Touch Controls. Which is great for if you don't feel like clipping on your Razer Kishi or getting the Xbox Controller re-paired.

Hopefully they can also bring Touch Controls to Gears Tactical. I feel like they could work really well there.

So it's currently Android only right? Are there plans for a Windows client?

The plan is they are going to do:
  • Android App
  • iOS App
  • Web App
  • Windows App
  • Xbox App
  • Smart TV Apps
Right now they only have the Android App... They have the code done for the iOS app, but Apple is being a greedy, monopolistic S. O. B so it's on hold. They're working on the Web App now... And the Windows/Xbox app won't be until later this year/early next year. With the Smart TV apps after that.

I'm not sure if anyone knows this but are the accounts region locked or something like that? I'm curious if I would be able to use my same xcloud account while traveling abroad to another country that supports it. Is the library the same in each country?

since i got like 3 years of gamepass ultimate i'll try it but I'm not super confident on my connection and smartphone being able to handle it. In any case I'm happy it is coming soon, I thought it would take a looong ass time

Cool, I doubt I'll use it much/at all but I already have the sub so I'm keen to finally try one of these newfangled cloud streaming services just to see for myself how they feel. I could possibly see myself playing some turn based games on the go with it.

Has this thread not been made? Everyone ignored this great news? :(

Yea that's awesome. Some of Xbox's biggest markets, which totally makes sense. Including places where physical hardware and software is hella expensive. Granted, internet probably is too (maybe?).

I'm really interested to see how xCloud does in Japan. We know the Switch is starting to experiment with this in Japan already, and is now pushing ahead with their own solution more broadly. It's taken off in South Korea, where more people use GP on xCloud than Game Pass on console or PC. What a WILD path to relevance in Japan that would be, huh?

Xbox's Project xCloud Is Coming To Australia Tomorrow

Wanted to stream Xbox games to your phone? From next week, you'll be able to when the Project xCloud Australia beta kicks off.
www.kotaku.com.au www.kotaku.com.au

In embargoed briefings last week, Microsoft revealed to journalists that the beta version of their Xbox Game Pass cloud streaming service — dubbed Project xCloud — would be going live in Australia from November 18. Japan, Mexico and Brazil will also be joining the xCloud beta at that time.

In a Q&A session, Microsoft's Kareem Choudhry and Catherine Gluckstein explained that the beta would allow Microsoft to gather more data about the Australian cloud streaming experience. When asked whether it would be largely isolated to the Eastern states — given their proximity to the Microsoft Azure data centres, which are essential to xCloud's performance, the executives replied that the beta would be accessible to all Australians.

Hopefully everyone can try it out!
A friend (waiting on preordered Xbox Series X) wanted to get back into Destiny 2, while I was in the middle of a move and without my TV. I streamed Destiny 2 for a bit on my phone, though signal was uneven, it never disconnected, and when it was smooth I was landing headshots like normal.
