Xbox Ambassador. Replied on December 3, 2019. Is there any chance that Project XCloud will run on a Chromebook, either Chrome OS or Linux? I believe they stated that they're hoping to put XCloud everywhere that they can, eventually.
- The Xbox Series X's backward compatibility allows xCloud to retain the existing library of Xbox games while adding new games from the Xbox Series X. The Xbox Game Pass Library currently lists 276 cloud-enabled games. The list includes Halo: The Master Chief Collection, Destiny 2, Forza Horizon 4, The Outer Worlds, and Yakuza Kiwami 2. Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice was the first game to support.
- Project xCloud was the name of our public cloud gaming technology preview and was the first chapter of a multi-year journey. As we prepare for the next chapter of our journey, we are closing registration to Project xCloud (Preview) starting 31 August, and will formally close the public preview starting on 29 September 2021.

Overview
Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) clouds are evolving from offering simple on-demand resources to providing diverse sets of tightly-coupled monolithic services. Like OS kernels of the 1980's and 1990's, these monolithic offerings, albeit rich in features, are significantly constraining users' freedom and control over the underlying---cloud---resources. For example, we are unaware of a true hybrid cloud, where its users can migrate virtual machines freely across clouds. This paper argues for a new type of IaaS cloud, an xCloud, that builds on ideas from extensible OSs to give users the flexibility to install custom cloud extensions, which can address the limitations outlined above. We describe the design space for xClouds, including a practical approach for transforming today's public clouds into xClouds.
Code Release
Code to transform public clouds into xClouds is now available! The release consists of patches for Xen and Blanket drivers for Linux. Begin by downloading the tarball at http://code.google.com/p/xen-blanket/, and check out the README for instructions of how to run Xen inside your own EC2 instance!
