Rainway explains its contribution to Microsoft's
upcoming support for playing Xbox
games in a browser:
Rainway has partnered with Microsoft to provide its
Software Development Kit (SDK) to enhance and streamline Xbox Cloud Gaming
technology. Rainway’s browser solution integrates seamlessly into the Xbox Cloud
Gaming streaming stack, making it possible to bring Xbox content to gamers
through a multitude of devices running Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, and
Safari.
“Our goal at Xbox is to enable gamers around the world to play the games they
want, on the devices they want, with the people they want,” said Kevin
LaChapelle, GM, Project xCloud Platform. “To provide a consistent cloud gaming
experience that spans multiple devices, we’re making games available through
browser which provides the necessary performance, compatibility, and speed that
meets the needs of gamers. As we continue on our journey to deliver content on a
range of new devices through the web, we’re excited to partner with Rainway and
utilize their cutting-edge browser technology in our streaming stack.”
