Xbox One Project xCloud Beta Adds Three EA Titles

The beta preview is open on iOS and Android.

3 Comments

Project xCloud is Microsoft’s game-streaming service. Currently still in beta, the program has been available to select users since October last year. With big Microsoft titles like Gears 5, Halo 5: Guardians, Killer Instinct, and Sea of Thieves all on the service, EA becomes the newest company to add games to the service.

Dragon Age: Inquisition, Unravel Two, and The Sims 4 are all big titles for Microsoft to scoop up. Whether you’re a fan of Bioware’s RPG series, ready to traverse puzzles with the power of yarn and friendship, or just someone who enjoys the satisfaction of living through and managing the lives of their Sims, these three are some of the best titles to come out of EA in the past few years.

There is no word on when the streaming service will be ready for testing on other platforms. The Inside Xbox April 2020 announcements only touched on Project xCloud, including the addition of the three EA titles, with the streaming service preview set to open up in 11 more countries across Western Europe on top of the original four countries it began in.

If you are lucky enough to live in a country participating in the beta preview, you can still sign up to be a part of the program. To participate you'll need a compatible Android device, a Microsoft account, an Xbox One controller with Bluetooth, and an internet connection with 10Mbps downloads.

Project xCloud is also available on iOS, but with fewer games and features currently available.

In the beta, unfortunately the only supported device I have is my phone and these games were really not designed for such a small screen. Looking forward to giving it more of a go once it is available for PC.

@spectral: Platformers are pretty easy to see on the small screen. Halo5 Warzone and WZFF work well too.

I tinkered with a Kindle Fire 8 HD, and while the screen was perfect, the wireless chipset (and preload background tasks you can't get rid of) just couldn't keep up. So scratch all Amazon devices for this.

...which makes me think those w/Samsung larger devices are in the ideal perfect spot for this. Civ6 without chewing through a laptop battery? Yes please.

@Pyrosa: I have the 2017 Fire 10 HD and it won't even install on that. I just find text and UI elements annoyingly small on the phone screen. I'm also curious to see if using a wired connection rather than Wifi makes any difference. Hopefully the PC test isn't too far off.
