Today during Microsoft's Windows 10 conference, Phil Spencer announced that the operating system will allow users to play their Xbox One library by streaming it to PCs and tablets.
Spencer said that Windows 10 will find all the games installed on Xbox One to make them available. In a demo, he streamed Forza Horizon 2 to a Surface Pro 3.
The presentation also mentioned that users could bring up the Xbox One user interface itself and turn off the console.
The sharing will go both ways to an extent. Windows 10 will be coming to Xbox in some capacity as well, but Spencer simply said more details are coming sometime later. He did say developers who want to make apps for living room TVs will be able to.
