Microsoft is building a service that intends to be the "Netflix for games."
The service is currently named "
Project xCloud," and its goal is to stream high-end video games to any device.
"We have as much a shot to build a subscription service as anybody else," Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said on Monday at an invitational editors meeting at Microsoft's headquarters.
SEATTLE — "We describe it as, shorthand, 'Netflix for games'," Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella told journalists at an invitational editors meeting at Microsoft's headquarters on Monday.
Nadella was speaking about Microsoft's cloud ambitions outside of enterprise software and, more specifically, the company's ambitious push into video game streaming with
Project xCloud.
The idea is simple: Play high-quality, blockbuster games on any device. Thus, "Netflix for games."
