Xbox xCloud streaming in Australia not working? Have signed up previously and was able to...

This is the xcloud page for Australia

https://www.xbox.com/en-AU/xbox-game-streaming/project-xcloud

so it is coming to you but they do not have a specific date yet. If it was not coming to Australia they would not have the page

Hi SoullessBoar,

Thank you for posting on the Xbox forums. I'd be happy to answer that.

Project xCloud will only work with Xbox One controllers that have Bluetooth support. You will not be able to hard wire the controller to your mobile device and have it work that way.

You can read up more on how the program works by reading up on the FAQ: https://www.xbox.com/xbox-game-streaming/project-xcloud#faq

I hope this helps!

Hi,

For now, Project xCloud is still in preview and limited to selected countries. We can't say when they'll open it to Australia, but you can check from time to time on Xbox Wire or Project
xCloud page.

Hi ByhamC,

I believe you will be able to sign in to xCloud and your console (using the same profile) at the same time, but you won't be able to sign in to two xCloud streaming devices at the same time, so I don't think she will be able to use it.

Can any other ambassadors confirm this?

There's no news a family plan yet, but things may change.

It could be that Microsoft could be about to make us pay for a feature previously allowed for FREE!!...

You are confusing the xCloud service with streaming locally.

Xcloud allows you to stream games you do NOT own to your console. You basically "rent" access to the games which run on server hardware somewhere in the cloud, and stream the video feed to any device that supports xCloud. Be it your home console, your tablet,
smartphone or whatever. It's like Google's Stadia or what Sony does to bring backward compatibility to some Playstation games.

This is vastly different to the home streaming that allows you to stream the video feed from your console that plays the games you "own" to a device that supports local streaming.

Unless you are trying to allow thousands of people to access your own console from the internet to stream your games to them, you are not doing anything similar to xCloud.

So don't make up some crazy conspiration theory like "Microsoft is taking away our streaming, so we have to pay to use xCloud"
