The Xbox announcements for Project xCloud at X019 were massive, and none were bigger than the one that revealed over 50 games were coming to the preview experience on that streaming service over the next year. Project xCloud remains one of Xbox's most ambitious endeavors, a project that could totally reshape the way that Microsoft brings games to consumers and widen the breadth of people who are able to experience cutting edge technological breakthroughs in current-generation games.

Project xCloud might have some stiff competition in Google Stadia, although that's looking increasingly more unlikely after a disastrous few months of campaigning for the latter that culminated in one of the weirdest Reddit AMA sessions possible. With verified staff members genuinely offering to hand deliver Stadia kits to those who might miss out on their shipment because of preorder complications, the stage is set for someone to lay claim to the title of most exciting streaming service on the horizon. As that category begins to get more and more competitive, Xbox needs to keep pace, the same way the company is currently leading the pack with its stellar Xbox Game Pass service that far outshines its competitors in its current iteration. To that end, Xbox addressed the future of Project xCloud at length during X019, and what consumers heard was very promising.

On top of expanding the number of regions that will have access to the Project xCloud preview sessions in 2020, Xbox also announced that the streaming service would be receiving a massive influx in playable titles to the tune of over 50 titles being available in Preview during 2020. There are some truly exciting standouts present on that list, too: Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night, Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons, Devil May Cry 5, and Tekken 7 are just some of the great gaming experiences that fans will be able to pace xCloud with in 2020. For a full list of games coming to Project xCloud in 2020, look no further:

Of the newly announced titles, there are some real standouts that could help players get a grasp of just how smoothly Project xCloud runs. Games like Forza Horizon 4, for instance, will put the graphical prowess of the streaming service to the test and see if it can smoothly broadcast intensive games with ease. There are also some exciting options just for the ability to experience them on mobile, like Hellblade and WWE 2K20, even though the latter's reception has been so poor most players will likely be giving it a try just to have a laugh.

The extensive support for Project xCloud coming from Microsoft is indicative of how strongly the company feels that it will be a major element of its future services. With Xbox Scarlett on the horizon and Xbox Game Pass continuing to receive major support, it looks like Project xCloud will similarly remain a key fixture in Xbox's plans for 2020 and beyond.
