Xbox One Game Streaming on Windows 10 Is “Huge” According to Xbox Exec

4.5
When Microsoft announced Xbox One game streaming on Windows 10, many wondered if people would really use it. Among them was Xbox and Windows Platform Director of Program Management Mike Ybarra that revealed today in an interview on The Inner Circle‘s podcast that the feature is actually very popular.

Game streaming is a really popular feature. I gotta be honest, when we created that, I was like, “how many people would really do this?” but it was huge, like people wanna be able to play their Xbox games on their PCs and devices and anywhere the’re at. So it was nice to see that the usage of that is very high.

Personally, I definitely see the value of the feature. My main PC is side by side with my Xbox One, so it doesn’t see much streaming, but I did play quite a bit on my laptop.

It’ll be interesting to see how Microsoft will expand game streaming, but the tech is definitely a nice addition to the Xbox App on Windows 10.

Geekwad Lol "when we created that" Microsoft needs to stop saying how they start everything in the universe lmao! Steam was the first to use in-home game streaming and then Xbox popped up and said, "Hey! We can attempt to do the same thing, and then tell all the boys and girls that we did it first and look awesome!" I mean, they've done this with emulation, hololens, and now in-home streaming. I just want to say before some console fanatic that has to bash someone whenever they point out at a fact, that Microsoft is doing a good job with how much support they put into their console, but they don't have to take credit for someone who's already created something first.


Steam didn't do it first either. There were various method before both of them. As for consoles, Microsoft did do it first in terms of console gaming OTHER than being on TV. I mean playing a game on my laptop while someone can watch TV, its pretty cool feature by Microsoft. I am saying this as PC gamer, love to stream to other devices like my tv without extra devices installed.
