Game streaming to be the next big thing

Sources say that Microsoft has continued to develop a game streaming technology in the Operating Systems Group at Microsoft.

 

The technology is still said to be pretty hush hush at this point, but it is being developed under the code name of Arcadia. The use of the codename Arcadia might not come as too much surprise as it the name of the United Earth Colony in the Halo series.

Arcadia uses Microsoft’s Azure Cloud technology and it replaces the Rio technology that the company showed off using Halo 4. It is expected that at the PC Windows 10 gaming event on January 21st that Microsoft will at least talk about it and what the future might hold for this technology. Still we don’t think that the technology will be ready in time for the launch of Windows 10, but instead it will come later.
