Rainway and Microsoft team up to improve Xbox Cloud Gaming

Yesterday we got the news that Xbox Cloud Gaming will be available on PC and iOS starting today, April 20, in a trial period for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate users. A feature that users have been waiting for a long time and which is finally starting to take off. Although, yes, in a different way from Android, as it is not done from an app, if not from a browser.

For this, as we have known today, Microsoft has partnered with Rainway to provide the best service and the best quality of live transmission through browsers.

Microsoft wants the best service for Xbox Cloud Gaming in browsers

Rainway is a company specializing in this type of transmission and its alliance with Microsoft will allow those in Redmond to use its SDK to improve and optimize Xbox Cloud Gaming technology. The technology of this company, as it has been revealed, integrates perfectly with the transmission of games in the Xbox cloud, which makes it possible to bring all the content of the platform to a multitude of devices through Microsoft Edge, Chrome or Safari.

Our goal with Xbox is to empower gamers around the world to play the games they want, on the devices they want, with whom they want.

As we continue our journey to deliver great content. quality across a variety of devices across the web, we’re excited to partner with Rainway and use their browser technology in our shows.

This post from Kevin LaChapelle, vice president of Xbox Cloud Gaming Platform, makes it clear what the team’s goal is: to achieve the highest quality of service available through the browser. And from this intention is born the union with Rainway, one of the best rated and highest quality companies in the transmission of live content via browsers.
