Stream Xbox One games to Windows 10 PCs and tablets, later this year

4.8
Microsoft has announced that Xbox One owners will soon be able to stream their library of games to any Windows 10 device, later this year.

"With Windows 10 we will enable streaming of Xbox One games to any PC or tablet running Windows 10, later this year," Xbox boss Phil Spencer said during the Windows 10 event today. During the announcement, Spencer showcased the new feature by playing Forza on a Surface Pro 3 along with the Xbox UI on the device.

"We will treat Xbox gaming on Windows 10 with as much passion" as on the console, he added. As part of a set of gaming announcements for Microsoft's upcoming operating system refresh, Spencer also announced Fable Legends would launch on PC and allow for cross-play between the Xbox One.

Alexyy Yeah because I'm going to stream a game at 900p 30fps to my PC running a 970,

Good idea Microsoft.


Not everyone has a gaming PC.


So? If they have an xbox then they've probably got a tv as well. Other than streaming some games to a tablet streaming to a desktop just sounds stupid. I thought that was one of console gamers main arguments for why console gaming better? Honestly, there'd probably be some notice

I was thinking you would be able to change the resolution and uncapped?


It's not going to work like that. I don't see how it could. The games are just being streamed from the console. They'll still be running on it's hardware.

GT-R Who in their right mind would want to do this? I understand the tablet part but, why would you stream console games to a desktop if the console is connected to a tv already?


Desktops provide less lag which will help tremendously in games like Call of Duty where split second decisions matter.

To me this sounds like Microsoft getting people ready for when they tell developers if they want to make a game for the Xbox One, they can't make it for Windows PC, or that GFWL will be resurrected in a dark ritual where MS will shoehorn Xbox live into Windows 10 games.
