Microsoft to launch cloud streaming device by 2023

Microsoft will be launching a new device within the next year specifically to stream games directly to users' TVs to boost its cloud gaming efforts. The platform’s planned device will be similar to the Amazon Fire stick or Roku's puck, and will also allow you to access movie and TV services.

 

The streaming device is said to be part of Microsoft's ‘Xbox Everywhere’ initiative. The move comes as Xbox's long-discussed strategy to get Game Pass onto every device possible, with more focus on bringing users into Microsoft's gaming ecosystem than selling them the company's consoles.

 

A key selling point will be Xbox Game Pass’ library of titles that are playable via the cloud without the need for dedicated hardware, something currently only available to subscribers of the service's Ultimate tier.

 

It is also reported that Microsoft is working closely with Samsung to develop the Xbox game-streaming app for the company's televisions. Both the app and the streaming device are expected to launch within the next 12 months.
