Microsoft is testing new Xbox games app on Windows PCs

Microsoft has come to the final stages of development of the Xbox Game Streaming application for computers based on the Windows operating system.

This was reported by the thematic edition The Verge, which managed to get its hands on the latest version of Xbox Game Streaming. It is noted that Xbox Game Streaming is currently undergoing internal testing at Microsoft and is not finalized.

At this time, users cannot stream games from their Xbox to computers as this is not supported by the available Xbox Console Companion app. However, the new Xbox Game Streaming app fixes this flaw and, at the same time, brings the xCloud cloud service to Windows computers for the first time.
