Take MSFT game pass and back it on cloud servers. Almost all the games run on Windows, their own OS, and can be optimized for whatever datacenters are on the way out from enterprise apps but with some GPUs tossed in.
I'm over simplifying but I'm sure MSFT has a plan out there if they wanted to move forward after seeing how Stadia works out.
- mastax 7y agoMSFT has more than a plan. https://www.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-game-streaming/project-xcloud https://www.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-game-streaming/project-xclou... Both platforms are at similar levels of maturity, actually, with similarly limited support for platforms, controllers, and games. Microsoft just hasn't had the audacity to charge for their beta test.
- nvrspyx 7y agoMSFT are working on xCloud, which uses actual Xbox hardware in the data centers, so you have access to your entire digital Xbox library, including Game Pass. I’m sure they’re going to replace whatever the current hardware they’re testing it with to the Xbox Scarlet hardware when it releases, which should put it on par (or better) than Stadia.
