Computer Store News: Microsoft demonstrated an experimental technology in 2013 that enables Windows 8 and Windows Phone devices to run Xbox games in streaming form. It is said that Microsoft's technology can solve Xbox 360 games and Xbox. One is not compatible, but the project was terminated. Earlier this year, Microsoft Research revealed the DeLorean project, which is said to reduce the latency of continuous interactions in cloud games.

Arcadia technology will replace the previous "Rio" streaming media technology. Arcadia is an Azure-based technology that delivers applications and games in streaming form. ZDNet also reported that Microsoft even considered Android applications to be compatible with Windows devices in streaming form, but the idea was put on hold.
