Project xCloud

Some areas to consider around game streaming specifically for Project xCloud include:

Remote Game Streaming Download

Title Availability. Only games that have been published to Project xCloud are available for streaming there.
Companion Apps. When running on a Project xCloud server, the game will not be able to launch a companion app.
Very low latency to game server. If your game makes matchmaking decisions based on network connectivity to your game server, beware that the latency from the Xbox running the game to your game server is likely to be VERY fast -- but that it is not representative of the overall latency to the player. Consider using XboxStreamingGetStreamAddedLatency to include the latency from streaming Xbox to the player.
