Microsoft is telling game developers porting existing Xbox games to the company’s upcoming cloud gaming service will be easy. ‘Developers will be able to dramatically scale their existing games across devices, with no additional development,’ a company executive said.
A big question facing Microsoft’s upcoming cloud gaming service is what you’ll be able to play. So far, the company hasn’t said much. But on a technical level, the Microsoft xCloud service will be capable of streaming any Xbox game ever made —without any changes needed by the developer.
«That means that Project xCloud has the technical capability to stream more than 3,500 games,» Microsoft vice president Kareem Choudhry said in a blog post on Friday.
The statement isn’t really a surprise.
