On April 7th we saw how Microsoft announced the arrival of Project xCloud to a good number of countries. Great news for game fans that was coming to become an option against Google's Stadia or Nvidia's GeForce Now.

From that day, registration could begin and we were waiting for the tests to be accessible in the form of a preview or beta phase in the month of May, the scheduled date with xCloud. There was no confirmed date, a mystery already cleared up, since all those selected, will be able to start using xCloud in Spain and other European countries
