Game On (Your Phone): Project xCloud Preview

We’re excited to announce that Microsoft chose T-Mobile as its U.S. wireless technical partner for the public preview of Project xCloud.  This is Microsoft's game streaming technology that empowers gamers to play console-quality games anywhere they are, on the mobile and tablet devices they already own.  Previously, there was no way to play Xbox games over mobile networks on a smartphone or tablet, but this preview gives you a chance to help test Xbox game streaming over LTE for smartphones or tablets.

What's coming?

On September 24, T-Mobile and Metro by T-Mobile customers with Android devices and unlimited data plans can register for a chance to participate in the public preview of Project xCloud to test streaming popular XBOX games over T-Mobile’s advanced LTE network to their smartphones and tablets.
