This is the kind of seamless gaming that I need in my life. Project xCloud also syncs your saved games from your console to the remote servers, letting me continue my Gears of War Ultimate Edition playthrough with my brother, from anywhere, at any time. It detected I was signed in with my Microsoft Account on Windows 10, then automagically pulled down the consoles I had previously connected to the xCloud preview app on Android. The best part was that all my settings and connected consoles were already available to me as soon as I installed the app. The trade-off is, of course, better latency. The fact that the resolution is locked at 720p, designed for phones and tablets primarily, does muddy the picture a fair bit on a HD PC screen. There was often artifacting pixelization here and there, but this isn't really intended for public consumption and is probably not particularly well optimized. It seems to handle far better than the old Xbox PC app streaming, with minuscule latency problems. I ran the app on a Razer Blade 15 using my home Xbox One X, both devices connected to 5GHz Wi-Fi in my home. Right now, the app is restricted to Xbox Game Streaming using a connected console as the server, although there is a menu for selecting Project xCloud Azure-based streaming instead, for when the service eventually goes live.
