According to reports, the company has already begun the testing on upgraded xCloud servers and with dedicated PC server blades for streaming PC games over xCloud.


So Microsoft is planning to use the new Xbox Series X hardware in xCloud servers and this brings amazing benefits for the CPU side. This next-gen processor is far more powerful and efficient when it comes to running four Xbox One S game sessions.
