The developer behind the Better xCloud script has found that Microsoft is already adding references to “stream your own games” to Xbox Cloud Gaming. I’m expecting to see this debut initially to Xbox Insiders next month, allowing you to stream your existing library of games to mobile devices, Amazon Fire TV sticks, and much more.
Microsoft is holding a new Xbox Partner Preview stream on Thursday, which will include more than a dozen new trailers, new game announcements, and even a first look at Alan Wake II’s next expansion, The Lake House. The 25-minute stream kicks off at 10AM PT / 1PM ET / 6PM UK on October 17th, and you can watch it live on YouTube or Twitch.
