Microsoft\u2019s CEO Satya Nadella on Tuesday pitched his company\u2019s Xbox Cloud Gaming technology\u00a0as a new way to offer games to Xbox fans, as well as people using Apple\u2019s iPhone or iPad or devices powered by Google\u2019s Android. And, he said, it\u2019ll be trivial to code for as well.<\/p>\n\n

Nadella discussed Xbox Cloud Gaming during the company\u2019s annual Build developer conference, saying the technology \u2014 which allows people to play video games over the internet, similar to how they stream movies and TV shows from Netflix or Disney \u2014 is designed to work with games that are coded to run on Windows computers or Xbox video game consoles.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cOne of the coolest things is that as a game developer, there\u2019s no need to change your code,\u201d Nadella said, noting the\u00a0reduced development time\u00a0as another reason developers might want to use his service. \u201cAs a game developer, you can publish to the Xbox store and your game can be accessible on every device.\u201d<\/p>\n\n

Microsoft has always leaned on its size as part of the reason game and app developers should focus on writing code for its devices. After all, Microsoft Windows runs on nearly 75% of all desktop and laptop computers, according\u00a0to data from StatCounter, and\u00a0VGChartz tallies indicate\u00a0that its Xbox is one of the most popular video game consoles, behind Sony\u2019s PlayStation and Nintendo\u2019s Switch.<\/p>\n\n

But in the past couple of years, Microsoft has attempted to aim higher than its typical competition to sell video game consoles. It\u2019s turned to game streaming technology as well as its $15 per month\u00a0Xbox Game Pass Ultimate\u00a0subscription to attract players who otherwise may not have purchased an Xbox, but still want to play video games. Nadella said Xbox now counts 10 million people who\u2019ve streamed games through its cloud gaming technology in 26 countries.<\/p>\n\n

The company has also partnered with Epic Games, maker of the hit battle game Fortnite, offering\u00a0the title free through Xbox Cloud Gaming\u00a0on PCs, Chromebooks and mobile devices. The company\u2019s even marketed its Xbox Cloud Gaming as a workaround for iPhone and iPad owners, after Apple banned Fortnite from its\u00a0App Store amid an ongoing legal dispute with Epic.<\/p>\n\n

Nadella didn\u2019t spend long discussing his company\u2019s Xbox Cloud Gaming efforts, other than to say the company\u2019s hoping to work with more developers to offer free games through its service soon.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cYou can break free of device restrictions that too often get in your way,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n

Microsoft will likely discuss its gaming efforts more next month, during its\u00a0Xbox & Bethesda Games Showcase on June 12.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
