Cloud Rivals
At the moment, the idea of a cloud game streaming platform remains in development. Working under the codename Project Tempo, the service will enter directly alongside Project xCloud and Google Stadia.
Other Console Makers
Indeed, xCloud feels much more like a play anywhere Xbox One. The one outlier is Sony, and to an extent Nintendo. The two Japanese companies are dominant in the console market, but neither has explored cloud gaming in-depth. It will be interesting to see how Sony and Nintendo approach this new frontier of gaming in over the next year.
Certainly, when Sony launches the PlayStation 5 later this year, I hope the company offers plans for a robust cloud streaming service. PlayStation Now has largely failed to deliver on its promise, leaving Sony out of the conversation when discussing cloud gaming.
