Curious if anyone here is participating in the xCloud Public Preview? Alas I don't have an Android device, so besides my brief hands-on with Halo 5 at E3, I haven't gotten much personal time with the service yet.

Spots are limited overall, but our friends at Xbox are very eager to get more experienced Halo players into the program to help test and give feedback on how Halo 5 is shaping up on the service. We've provided them with a big list of "highly engaged" Halo 5 players that they can use to cross-reference against people who sign up - so, hardcore Halo 5 players should have better odds of getting accepted into the program!

For now the xCloud Public Preview is only available to players in the US and UK (and a separate instance for Korea) and you'll need a phone or tablet running Android 6.0 or higher with Bluetooth 4.0 and a Bluetooth-enabled Xbox One wireless controller.

If you'd like to try out playing Halo 5 on your Android device, streaming from the cloud, head over and sign up HERE.

We aren’t giving spots to anyone, it’s not our program. They asked us to refer Halo players so we are spreading the word. They said they were prioritizing active Halo players. Who knows if they’re steamers, but I bet people who stream Halo all day are amongst the most active players.

10-4. We don’t have any visibility into their processes - it’s not our program. They just asked us to help get active experienced Halo players to sign up to give feedback on H5. I know they will be expanding the program over time and adding more people.
