Microsoft and Reliance Jio are joining hands to bring its Project xCloud; cloud gaming service to India. The launch date may be soon revealed. Reliance Industries Chairman and MD Mukesh Ambani at Microsoft’s Future Decoded event in Mumbai said that Jio isn’t just working with Microsoft on services for startups but with xCloud as well. Project xCloud has been slated for a 2020 India release, however, before this, no telecom partners were mentioned.
Microsoft’s Project xCloud is the company’s cloud game streaming service in which it lets users play games anywhere, on their phones, tablets, PCs, TVs and more, streamed directly from Microsoft servers online.
Reliance Jio has been at the forefront of bringing new games and gaming services to India. Microsoft’s xCloud game streaming service is a direct competitor to Google’s Stadia, which is yet to make any announcement regarding its India launch. However, we expect Google to soon make an announcement regarding the same.
The company in a statement said, “Yes, we confirmed the news of our intent to bring Project xCloud to Indian gamers with Reliance Jio as part of our Future Decoded event in Mumbai in late February.”
“We announced this intention to come to India at X019 London in November, and will have more news soon on how and when this will play out for your local market,” it added.
