The success of Netflix inspires Microsoft to launch the Broadcast Games service

Microsoft's ambitious vision of the future of gaming is not about using a high-cost device with television, but rather broadcasting those games directly to any device you use, such as Netflix.

Just as Netflix allows users to watch movies and TV series from any device, the game streaming service will also allow users to play the latest and most powerful video games anytime, anywhere, on any device, whether your phone, tablet, laptop or even TV without having to own A gaming platform or a powerful personal computer.

Microsoft's ambitious project, Project X Cloud, dubbed "Netflix Games" internally, is an indication of what the service hopes to do, in which it hopes to establish a standard in video game broadcasting services.

"There are two billion people on the planet today who play video games and we will not be able to sell 2 billion game platforms to them," said Xbox Phil Spencer, Microsoft's Web site administrator, in a statement to Buzzins Insider in June 2018.

Many of these people do not have television, and many have never had a personal computer, he said. For many people on the planet, the phone is their computing device, noting that it lurks to reach customers wherever they are and on any device they own.

Because games require high processing power, a powerful personal computer, a gaming console and a TV, the availability of such games via streaming services opens the door to large numbers of users who prefer to enjoy playing on their phones.

Most major technology companies are now seeking to launch their own gaming services, such as Google's Project Stream, Sony PlayStationNow, Infidya GeForceNow, and other broadcast attempts from Amazon and Verizon.

Overall, the next two years appear to be the goal of the general launch of most of these new gaming services. Microsoft and Google have been testing the broadcast service with a limited audience, while Amazon and Verizon's attempts at this point are still nothing more than talk.

Google reviewed the possibility of broadcasting a popular game - the Assassin's Creed Odyssey - in the Internet browser, and extended a general test of service from late last year until mid-January.

Microsoft has promised "general experiences" to serve it in the Spirit X Cloud in 2019, but has yet to provide specific dates for these trials, and is currently testing them with a specific audience selected through specific calls.

Sony has been running PlayStationNow for five years now to play video games. The service allows users of PlayStation 4 and PC to broadcast their Playstation 2, 3 and 4 games without having to download them from the Internet. The service costs $ 20 per month or $ 100 annually.
