Just before few days of the final release of the Google Stadia, Microsoft has announced the launch of its xCloud game streaming service sometime in 2020 at the XO19, the company’s Xbox-focused event in London.
At the event, Microsoft also released a few numbers of new titles that will be available on xCloud (when released) and these new titles will be added to the existing Game Pass subscription. Microsoft xCloud Preview now has over 50 games and Google Stadia will have only 12 games on launch.
The company is keeping eyes on how Google Stadia will perform when it will be available and is also hoping that Google’s first-mover advantage will be nullified by the expected confusion around payments, features, titles and other issues the company is still working out.
In xCloud users will have all the games available in Microsoft’s Game Pass subscription that has over a hundred PC and console games available right now, with more being added regularly.
