Xbox One Game Streaming on Windows 10 Is “Huge” According to Xbox Exec

4.5
When Microsoft announced Xbox One game streaming on Windows 10, many wondered if people would really use it. Among them was Xbox and Windows Platform Director of Program Management Mike Ybarra that revealed today in an interview on The Inner Circle‘s podcast that the feature is actually very popular.

Game streaming is a really popular feature. I gotta be honest, when we created that, I was like, “how many people would really do this?” but it was huge, like people wanna be able to play their Xbox games on their PCs and devices and anywhere the’re at. So it was nice to see that the usage of that is very high.

Personally, I definitely see the value of the feature. My main PC is side by side with my Xbox One, so it doesn’t see much streaming, but I did play quite a bit on my laptop.

It’ll be interesting to see how Microsoft will expand game streaming, but the tech is definitely a nice addition to the Xbox App on Windows 10.

Geekwad Lol "when we created that" Microsoft needs to stop saying how they start everything in the universe lmao! Steam was the first to use in-home game streaming and then Xbox popped up and said, "Hey! We can attempt to do the same thing, and then tell all the boys and girls that we did it first and look awesome!" I mean, they've done this with emulation, hololens, and now in-home streaming. I just want to say before some console fanatic that has to bash someone whenever they point out at a fact, that Microsoft is doing a good job with how much support they put into their console, but they don't have to take credit for someone who's already created something first.


Steam didn't do it first either. There were various method before both of them. As for consoles, Microsoft did do it first in terms of console gaming OTHER than being on TV. I mean playing a game on my laptop while someone can watch TV, its pretty cool feature by Microsoft. I am saying this as PC gamer, love to stream to other devices like my tv without extra devices installed.


As far as playing a video game on another device yes, Steam was the first. The closest thing to in-home streaming would be the PSP however it was buggy, and only worked for a minuscule amount titles. So, I guess you're right in saying Steam wasn't the first, but who even used the beyond buggy remote play for PSP? But, even if you did because you're the elitist of them all, Microsoft still didn't create this, that was my point.


They still had to create it for their console. What you are arguing doesn't make sense. It is like saying a game developer doesn't create games, because they were not the first. They created it for their console.


Ok, it's like this. You have been researching and putting countless hours into a project and you finally release it to the public. The next day, somebody takes your design and remakes it and calls it theirs. How would that make you feel?


Remote Play by Sony was VERY limited and as far as i know, it was only between the PSP and PS4. So, not really considered "in-home streaming." I don't know what you want to argue about but yea, Microsoft did do this thing first first, released to public in August... Steam Link released in November, which requires an extra device... Like everyone knows what country went to the moon first, but who went second?


I'm not sure why you're bothering to even post, because both of your points are void and incorrect. Also, please read my entire post before posting, all you did was support my statement about PSP to PS3 not considered in-home streaming. And I think you might be thinking of SteamLink, which streams what you have on your PC in your bedroom straight on to your TV in your living room per se. But, if you did your research you would have known that you have been able to stream your a game that is on your PC to your laptop which was released at least a year ago if I can remember correctly. So, please do your research before you decide post, thank you.
