Called Project xCloud, it essentially turns your Xbox into a private streaming server.

9. Gears of phwoar

The final Gears of War trailer was shown off at E3 2019 and it looks decent. It's a little strange that they are showcasing a game that's out in just three months (September) though - especially when most of the show was bigging up what was going to happen in 2020. Still, it does look decent.
