I love enabling surfaces to welcome more and more players to our gaming community with the devices they already own or can pickup at a reasonable price. Welcoming Hisense players around the world to our community!
This summer we've expanded XBOX streaming to more than 150 million TVs and devices around the world because not everyone can afford dedicated gaming hardware. Today we're adding millions more through VIDAA OS and Hisense, so more people can play on the hardware they already own.

So happy for the world to get to test out what the team has been cooking up to expand more ways to play to more players!
Today, XBOX will begin a public test that enables XBOX Insiders to stream select games from their library, at no added cost and with no subscription required, through a new ad-supported option. Our overall goal is simple: to give players more affordable options to play. The goal of this public test is to see how players use ad-supported streaming and listen to their feedback. As we experiment, we want to be clear about the principles we hold for ad-supported experiences: 1⃣ We start with the player. Ads should create value 2⃣ We do not interrupt the flow of gameplay 3⃣ We hold ads to the same quality bar as our content 4⃣ We’re clear about what is an ad 5⃣ We make sure ads fit what players expect on each platform More information here: news.xbox.com/en-us/2026/07/…

Save the time you'd have spent watching Matrix instead watching Don't Look Up on Netflix. It is a far better sit. Best line..."I believe that's called a Bronteroc"!

#MatrixResurrections the writers got so caught up with trying to mind fuck you that they forgot to write a good story. In one scene, a group of writers were literally telling why you shouldn't make a matrix sequel.

#SquidGame...what happens if more than 80 play game 3?
So honored to be even a small part of making this dramatic change in gaming on Xbox consoles. Congrats to everyone who worked on this, and Alpha and Alpha Skip Ahead...enjoy!
I'm incredibly pleased to share that we're rolling out cloud gaming on console to a random subset of our Alpha and Alpha Skip Ahead Xbox Insider audiences later today. It's still got rough edges, so please check out the known issues, file bugs, and enjoy!
