Microsoft Wants us to Use xCloud Instead of Demos

Microsoft is considering allowing players to use xCloud to test games they don't have - similar to a demo version.

Xbox's boss Phil Spencer announced on Twitter that his company is considering enabling PC and Xbox owners to test games via the xCloud streaming platform. This would work in a similar way to current demos, except that it could apply to virtually any game and would not require any downloads (we would only need a sufficiently powerful Internet connection).

This is one of the many features on the list of planned things. Unfortunately it's not a priority, which means that it's not known when (and if at all) it will be introduced.
