Details have been scarce, presumably because this very next-gen feature won\u2019t fully come into its own until the next-gen <a href=\"https:\/\/www.geek.com\/games\/the-future-of-xbox-is-project-scarlett-and-keanu-reeves-at-e3-2019-1791122\/\"  rel=\"noopener\">Xbox Scarlett<\/a> launches next holiday. But when it comes to something like streaming, vigorous online stress tests are crucial to make sure folks ultimately have a good experience with the final product.<\/p>\n<p>So today during Inside Xbox Microsoft announced that the public preview for Project xCloud is happening, wait for it, this October.<\/p>\n<div class=\"flex-video widescreen embed\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/j1FgNco1_AM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>Starting right now users in the United States, United Kingdom, and Korea can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.xbox.com\/en-US\/xbox-game-streaming\"  rel=\"noopener\">register<\/a> for a potential slot in Microsoft\u2019s new streaming service. You\u2019ll need a Microsoft account, an Xbox One Wireless Controller, and a device running Android 6.0 or above with Bluetooth 4.0. Once you&#8217;re good to go you can enjoy a selection of full-fledged Xbox One console games on your phone or tablet. Streaming works over Wi-Fi or mobile networks. And if you think mobile networks aren\u2019t strong enough, here\u2019s what Corporate VP of Project xCloud Kareem Choudhry said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMobile networks are an important part of global connectivity today,\u201d Microsoft&#8217;s mobile partners include SK Telecom, T-Mobile, and Vodafone. \u201cSo we\u2019ll do our best to ensure that gamers have a great experience and Project xCloud is optimized for the widest range of network configurations possible.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As for the games, the xCloud beta includes a nice mix of Microsoft first-party titles that should test the service in various ways. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.geek.com\/games\/review-gears-5-brings-a-fresh-perspective-to-the-franchise-1802618\/\"  rel=\"noopener\"><em>Gears 5<\/em><\/a>\u00a0and <em>Halo 5: Guardians<\/em> are both beautiful shooters that also reward high precision. <em>Killer Instinct<\/em> is a technical fighting game so smooth performance is a must. And <em>Sea of Thieves<\/em> is all about cooperating with friends online.<\/p>\n<p>Since this is a test, like Stadia\u2019s predecessor Project Stream, don\u2019t expect Project xCloud to work perfectly, and that\u2019s even if you get in. But we\u2019re one step closer to physical video game consoles becoming irrelevant.
