In context: The game streaming wars are heating up, and just about every
major player in this industry has something on the table right now.
Google has Stadia, Microsoft is working on Project xCloud, and Sony has
its Remote Play and PlayStation Now services.
Microsoft has also quietly been working on Xbox Console Streaming, a
function that allows Xbox owners to play any owned and installed Xbox
One, or Game Pass title on their Android smartphone or tablet with
minimal effort.
The feature has been available to select Xbox Insider program testers
for a while now, but today, Microsoft is finally opening it up more
broadly. Starting now, as long as you live in one of the many, many
countries on this list, you'll be able to take advantage of Xbox Console
Streaming. If you want to do so, you'll need to sign up for the Xbox
Insider program and enroll in the Xbox One Update Preview ring.
Once you've done so, open up the Google Play Store on your Android
device and snag the Xbox Game Streaming (Preview) app. The rest of the
instructions will be fed to you through this app, so it should be pretty
straightforward.
In terms of other requirements, the Preview will demand a Bluetooth
4.0-supported Xbox controller, an Android device running version 6.0 (or
higher) of the OS, as well as a Microsoft Account. A high-speed
internet connection would help, too, but that's nothing new for this
sort of service. Microsoft recommends a controller mount, but that's not
strictly necessary.
