Xbox on Windows 10

Lots of cross platform gaming and game streaming!

Games will reflect the games you play across all devices. It will include your friends list, messages and activity feed, so you can keep in touch with your friends and feed whilst you're out and about, which includes the use of text and voice chat (cross platform chat). You can also bring up the Xbox UI from your PC and power your console should you wish.
And that's not all. Windows 10 will allow streaming of Xbox games to PC, and a DVR feature will enable you to grab the last 30 seconds of gameplay from any Windows games - including Steam titles. You can jump into the Xbox app, edit your video, and then share across your social networks.

So we can play Forza 6 from our phones apparently!

I read that you will be able to upgrade to Windows 10 for free if you're currently using Windows 7 or 8 (or 8.1), though you'll have to do so within the first year of Windows 10 launch.

I've written a special CQR Inside Line feature covering Windows 10, Xbox and Future Gaming, check it out here:

Not that great IMO. I have a pretty alright connection (better than '62 percent of the US' according to one of the scans). And streaming via Xbox to Windows 10 is like watching a Pirated F1 stream vs watching it on TV. The xbox stream does its job alright, but is a big laggy and the colors are a bit dull. This is on the high settings.

My experiences could be different from others however.

the Xbox App on Win10 constantly freezes on me trying to accept Friend Requests on there

I was streaming my Xbox One from PC couple of days ago. Apart from the odd judder here and there it was faultless for me

I played with it a little bit. It felt a little wrong playing a Forza on my laptop . I will not be using it for racing, but I will use it when I want to recreate a paint job and don't what to get whiplash looking back and forth. You can even change the transparency of the window and trace it.

...but you were still able to play Forza on your lappy? Maybe my 360 dying wasn't the end of the world after all...

If I can push you over the edge a pit more, I have a basic laptop that while it has an i7 processor, I don't have a fancy graphics card. I can run it on the high settings, but only when I have my Xbox and laptop plugged into my router.
