Microsoft has released a video showing a demonstration of its upcoming xCloud game streaming service. This is a cloud gaming service that streams games to PCs, consoles, and mobile devices using Microsoft's Windows Azure cloud services.

Microsoft demonstrated Forza Horizon 4 streaming to an Android phone. An Xbox One controller was connected via Bluetooth, showing how it will be easy to stream games to mobile devices.

I can certainly see the appeal of xCloud game streaming service, it would be a great way to have some impromptu Xbox Lan's. Since split screen gaming is not really a thing this generation on most games, this could be an easy way for people to it in the same room and enjoy some Xbox gaming, perhaps even on your dinner break at work?

What do you think? if I could potentially stream the Xbox games i own digitally at no extra cost i'd be very interested. However i don't think its something i'd subscribe to in addition to Xbox Live.
