Microsoft's Xbox Console Streaming preview is now available globally

Microsoft has been experimenting with streaming Xbox games to Android phones and tablets through a limited beta. Now, all Xbox Insiders in countries that support Xbox One can try it out. But gamers will need to be part of an Update Preview ring, and you'll need an Android device running Marshmallow or higher. You'll also need a Bluetooth Xbox One controller and a speedy home network to make sure the setup can handle streaming.

According to Microsoft's Jonathan Hildebrandt, the company believes "the public preview as an important step in our journey to deliver game streaming to Xbox players around the world." Microsoft is pleased with the feedback given by early-access testers in the US and the UK. Hildebrandt said users can expect performance updates in the future.
