In a statement to MakoReactor, which first reported this, Microsoft confirmed its plans to bring Project xCloud to Indian gaming industry in collaboration with Reliance Jio.
Project xCloud is Microsoft’s online gaming streaming service which enables the users to stream games anywhere, on their electronic devices. The games are streamed directly from Microsoft’s servers.
Although the Project xCloud is scheduled to release this year in India, however, no telecom partners were mentioned earlier. The statement said that the intention to launch this service in India was announced at X019 London<\/a> in November.
It is interesting to note that Reliance Jio has previously partnered with the developers of PUBG Mobile and Pokemon Go in the past, with the aim of providing Indian gamers with Indian servers, in an effort to enhance the gaming experience.
The xCloud game streaming service competes directly with Google Stadia. However, Google Stadia has not yet made any announcements regarding its launch in India.
The recommended specifications for smooth gameplay are as follows-- an internet<\/a> connection with 10 mbps down bandwidth and 5GHz connection if using WiFi, which is where Jio intends to promote its Jio Fiber service.
However, it is still not clear if the service will be exclusive to Jio customers in the country.
