Rumours say that Microsoft are planning to allow Xbox console games to be streamed to your mobile devices such as a phone or a tablet. According to Kotaku, Microsoft will introduce a new feature named "Xbox Live Companion" which will allow game developers to stream their games to a mobile device.
"Xbox Live Companion would work like this: owners of iOS, Android or Windows phones (or tablets) download the Xbox Live Companion application to their devices. Then, developers of console games will have the option of coding in features that would allow those games to send content to the app while the game was running, transforming it into a personalised “companion” of the title being played.
An example we heard from this source was Halo 4: start playing the game on Xbox 360, and if you’ve got XBLC on your phone or tablet, it will become a Halo 4 companion application. Turn the game off and switch to something else that the app supports and it suddenly becomes your companion for that game."It is quite possible Microsoft will unveil "Xbox Live Companion" at the upcoming E3 press conference or in the near future.
