Hands-on with Microsoft’s

Project xCloud

W

hen Microsoft began calling for people

to test its Project xCloud cloud gaming

service, I was sceptical of how it would

perform over the toughest stress test you can throw

at it: a cellular connection. That’s why I was surprised

at how well it works.

Microsoft’s Project xCloud will never surpass a local console or a

PC. But for passing time, it’s not bad. MARK HACHMAN reports
