Xbox App on windows 10

So with Windows 10 just nine days away I started thinking; “Great I’ll be able to play on my PC in my office through the Xbox App and stream my games”. Which will give my wife reign over the living room again. But I started thinking more about it, with other games on the horizon that will allow both platforms play with one another, are we going to see an Xbox on windows 10 version of Neverwinter which wouldn’t require streaming the game from our Xbox. (No not the PC version But the Xbox version on PC which will allow us to play with people on Xbox)

Because this game can be such a time sink I would love to be able to play with the same people on either device, anywhere I can play.

I’m not a programmer , and I have no idea what the mechanics of it would be like, however with Microsoft building a one platform system with Widows 10 , I can’t imagine it would be difficult to make this a possibility .

I got a little lost up there.. is what you're wondering if there will be a version on PC, that is not linked to the current PC version, but instead linked with the XB1 version?

That's what I understand the streaming will accomplish. From what I read, Microsoft is exploring being able to stream from anywhere, not just on your local network, but its not in the cards right now. What you're looking for isn't a PW issue, is a Microsoft issue.

yea, thats what i was wondering .
a PC version that will work through the XBOX app on the pc that will link up with the rest of the XBox users . Yea the streaming should take care of that . but with a game like this im also wondering if the streaming wont build up too much latency and constantly have you a little slower than everyone else.

Maybe its not a PW issue.. THough they could come up with something ... maybe

Streaming from Xbox to PC works just fine... I use it all the time with minimal loss of quality and NO impact on game play that I have seen.

Considering the split nature of the two and greatly different econs... I don't see a mixed shard being introduced. Or a Xbox version run on the PC but you never know what they might do.

@randomhateforums sweet so you have had little to no issues streaming ? that's awesome to hear !
Yea, i wouldn't be interested in mixing the 2 shards. i just think that if the two platforms are doing all this integration then it would be cool . thats all .

Besides i think my wife is really starting to miss the living room
