Microsoft's E3 2019 media briefing is only a few days away, but it seems like certain aspects of the show may have leaked. According to a report by Brad Sams on Thurrott, the company will finally showcase Halo Infinite gameplay, and discuss its Project xCloud game streaming service.
While we haven't heard anything concrete about Project xCloud being showcased during E3 2019 or how it's supposedly is more powerful than Google Stadia, we can confirm that Halo Infinite will be part of the show. Sams said the following when discussing the reveals.
For Halo Infinite, this will be the first real showing of the next-generation game. Microsoft will be running the demos from a PC with an Xbox controller as they don't want the first impression of the new game to be running on the now-dated Xbox One hardware... But the darling of the event will be the company's xCloud service. Microsoft has been talking about this service for about a year and at E3, we will get a new look at the offering... I have heard that it does best Google's previously announced 10.7 teraflops.
While Microsoft may not provide exact specifications for Project xCloud, the company should make it clear that it's more powerful than Google Stadia. However, only time will tell as to how the company wants to approach the reveal.
What are you looking forward to most from Microsoft's media briefing on June 9? Let us know. Hopefully Halo Infinite will be confirmed as an open-world game that lets you explore an entire Halo ring. That's what we all want more than anything else.
