In brief: Last month saw Microsoft opening up registrations for a public beta of its xCloud game streaming service. Now, the company has officially launched it in preview as invites start to reach participants.
The public beta of Microsoft’s xCloud game streaming service is now live, which means that users who signed up last month to participate in the public preview should check their inbox for an invite from Microsoft , while those who haven’t signed up yet can do so here.
As previously noted, users residing in the US, UK or South Korea can opt-in for the beta and should fulfill the additional requirements laid out by Microsoft. Outside the cost of securing and using this equipment, testers won’t need to spend any money on purchasing content or a subscription for xCloud.
These include: Halo 5: Guardians, Gears 5, Killer Instinct, and Sea of Thieves. Interestingly, Forza Horizon 4 isn’t on the list, a title that Microsoft showed off in xCloud’s first live demo earlier this year.
