Microsoft To Bring Xbox One Game Streaming to Windows 10 Devices Later This Year

Microsoft wants to make your Xbox One a local game server for all your Windows 10 devices, the company announced today. Xbox lead Phil Spencer showed off the new feature on stage today in Seattle at Microsoft’s special event, playing Forza on Xbox One and streaming it to a Surface 3 where he controlled and viewed it remotely.

This is actually a huge win for Xbox One owners who also operate Windows 10 devices (which should theoretically any Windows 7 or 8 device, thanks to the free year-long update period).
