Earlier this month we informed you that Microsoft had opened xCloud Preview program registrations for Italy as well, and now we finally know when Italian players will be able to test the innovative game streaming service: in an exact week.

This means that if you are selected (it is still a closed-invitation beta program), you can start playing the already extensive xCloud catalog from your smartphone, and without the need to own a console!

Registrations for the program are still open, and you can join from this page.

We remind you that Project xCloud is different from the Streaming Console already arrived in Italy and that allows you to use your own console as a streaming server: this new system will allow you to play Xbox titles wherever you are and even without owning a console,because everything will be delivered in real time from microsoft's Azure cloud. The system is connected to your Xbox Live profile and will read all the saves you may have made on your console, allowing you to switch from a mobile experience to your home living room while still playing the same titles.
