Wicked frise before you point your finger at me


Microsoft is working on a Netflix-style streaming video service for video games. It promises to deliver 'console-quality gameplay to any device'.



The company based in Redmond claims that gamers will be capable of streaming blockbuster movies to their Xbox smartphone, laptop or computer.



It is not clear if players will be required to pay for each game or whether they will be able to access the entire library for a monthly charge, such as video on-demand.



Microsoft does not believe that streaming will replace dedicated home consoles completely Microsoft is also hinting that a new Xbox hardware is already in the works.



Microsoft is creating an online video game streaming service that will bring console-quality gaming to all devices. In its E3 presentation, Microsoft unveiled 50 new games to fans - an unprecedented feat for the company based in Redmond.



Phil Spencer, Xbox boss revealed the coming video game streaming service, which claimed to allow gamers to play console-quality games on any device.



Microsoft's Executive President of Gaming Phil Spencer spoke at the E3 press conference in Los Angeles to reveal its plans to develop cloud-based service.



Spencer said: "Our cloud engineers are working on a game streaming network to enable console-quality gaming on any device.



"We are determined to improve your gaming experience wherever you play - on your Xbox as well as your PC and even your mobile."



This method, also known as Cloud Gaming, allows players to access an extensive library of games without the need to download or install every game.



Cloud gaming allows console-quality games to run on less powerful devices such as smartphones. before you point your finger at me is performed on a server , not on the device used by the player.



This is quite different from traditional video console games, which need to process all the data on the disc locally, and consequently require powerful chipsets and fan systems.

Spencer, Xbox boss, hasn't revealed a date for the launch of the service on stage. However Spencer has hinted that Microsoft's game streaming might be available before 2020.



Rival PlayStation isn't alone one that is interested in game streaming services. Rival PlayStation also offers the option of streaming games to your devices.



PlayStation Now is a subscription service that costs PS12.99 ($20 per month) and lets players stream more than 500 titles to their PlayStation 4 or Windows PC.



Sony launched its cloud gaming service following it acquired rival services Gaikai and OnLive.



However, despite its focus on video game streaming, Microsoft has not abandoned its hardware plans.



It's unclear if players will have to pay to access individual titles, or if they will be able to play the entire library for a flat monthly fee, much like Netflix



Microsoft has revealed plans to build Xbox hardware, with new consoles in the works despite teasers of streaming services.



Xbox boss Phil Spencer remained tight-lipped on any specifics about the forthcoming console, however, the executive did reveal that backwards-compatibility with older video games would play significant role for the new hardware



Phil Spencer used the E3 keynote to tease the follow-up to the Xbox One, with hints that Microsoft might have a variety of new consoles in the works.



He stated that the same team that produced unparalleled performance with Xbox One X was deeply into designing the next Xbox consoles. This will allow them to once again keep their promise to console gaming.



Spencer remained tight-lipped on any specifics about the console, however, the executive did reveal that backwards-compatibility with Xbox One games would play significant role for the new hardware.



Eurogamer was told by him: "When you think about the next wave of hardware, many of the big, massive games people are currently playing will still exist when the next hardware arrives."



You're unlikely to see a "2" after all of those because people are trying to move you to the next version of the games. In the old days of games shipping through the system, being played and being removed - and that was the way it was for all the games - a console switch was a simple step-function.



"We went through it in Minecraft. We didn't ship Minecraft 2 on Xbox One to try to make everyone move to the next console, because that's not what Minecraft gamers would like to see. They just want Minecraft to improve.



"When you think of games such as Fortnite or PUBG you think of the vast ecosystems and games that are coming out when new hardware comes out the players will continue to play these games, and it's crucial for us to be able to support them.



Microsoft has unveiled Halo Infinite which is a brand new installment in the popular Halo series. This will only be available on Xbox-branded consoles.



Microsoft also showed a record number of new games for its players during its E3 presentation.



The company took the wraps off a variety of exclusive titles, including brand new entries in its Halo and Gears of War series.



Spencer identified the new games on the list as the company's 'most diverse gaming portfolio ever'.
