At a Windows 10 event today, Microsoft's Phil Spencer announced that Windows 10 users will soon be able to stream any Xbox One game to a Windows 10 PC or tablet.
After a one-time setup, an Xbox app on the Windows 10 device will show all the games available on the Xbox One, letting users stream those games across a local network. The demo showed a stream starting within a few seconds and using an Xbox One controller paired through the PC. Players can turn off the Xbox One from the PC when they're done.
The streaming function is part of a new integrated Xbox app that will link PC gaming to the world of Xbox Live. The app, which comes pre-loaded in every Windows 10 PC and tablet, lets users chat via voice or text across platforms between Windows 10 and Xbox platforms. Users can also keep track of friends by Gamertag across devices.
The Xbox app will let users play video clips shared by friends and easily share their own clips of any Windows game. The game recording is even enabled ahead of time, so this functionality will automatically capture the last 30 seconds before users choose to save a clip. Even titles launched before Windows 10 existed can be recorded and shared through the app.
Microsoft also vaguely teased the ability for app developers to create Windows "universal apps" that will run on the Xbox One. "We don't think we'll see millions of people using Excel on Xbox... but for developers who want to move apps over to the TV screen, this will make it very easy to do so," Microsoft's Phil Spencer said.
In concluding his portion of the presentation, Spencer promised to "treat gaming on Windows 10 with as much passion and energy as we have on the Xbox console" and told the crowd to expect more Windows 10 gaming news at March's Game Developers Conference.
In addition to Xbox Live, Windows 10 will also be equipped with the latest graphics APIs DirectX 12. This promises much higher performance than its predecessor and optimal DirectX 11. It also promises lower power consumption, so it can be applied to mobile devices. Game engine supports DirectX 12 is Unreal Engine 4 and Unity Engine.
