Project xCloud is officially coming to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate at no extra charge this September, but according to Xbox boss Phil Spencer, that won't actually be the official name of it.
Speaking to The Verge, Spencer revealed that a final name hasn't been determined for the game streaming service:
“This isn’t the official name, but you should think about it as Game Pass streaming or Xbox streaming, something like that. We actually don’t have the final name just yet, but it won’t be Project xCloud.”
Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers will be able to play over 100 Xbox Game Pass titles on their phone or tablet when the service officially launches in September (it's currently in Preview), but Spencer says the team will speak more specifically about which mobile devices will be supported over the next couple of months.
The Xbox boss also reiterated that the goal is to ultimately bring xCloud "to every screen that someone can stream games to," with the service set to expand over time.

Xbox Go?
XboxEverywhere?
Xbox Series Z Pocket Go Elite Lite Arcade Pro Edition One S
It should be 'xbox' something. I was thinking of using current video streaming services to derive a name. Like Now TV or Disney+. So how about;
Xbox Now or Xbox Plus?
@roe I LOL'd a lot at that
It will probably be called something confusing like Xbox Live or something. Maybe that's why they are getting rid of it, so they can use the name for this tangenitally related/unrelated service
xCloud is actually a really cool name. Shame to not use it
They'll just drop the project from project Xcloud and call it Xcloud.
@Mckilmer thats exactly what i was thinking. I always figured thats what they would end up doing from the start.
Phil, you can have this one for free:
Game Pass Cloud Delivery 🙃
I think XCloud works perfect, actually.
@KelticDevil I think so too. Xbox and Xcloud make sense.
I guessed it wouldn’t be the official name because it’s a code word like they always use
Xbox Go? Xbox Mobile? Xbox Cloud? (Before reading other comments). My favourite is Xbox Cloud.
@normanself Since Windows games are Play Anywhere, Xbox Play Everywhere makes sense.
Xbox Anywhere
Or just
Xbox Cloud
X-Stream. Stupid name, I know, but also kinda awesome.
Xbox Ultimate Gold Streaming Pass
Rolls off the tongue...
Xbox Game Streaming
I tried to post this without any comical quips but the character limit wouldn't let me, so here it is without any comical quips and some pointless text before it.
The X-Box
Hiphens are key.
Xbox Series P
Xbox Azure (since it runs on Azure)
Or to be funny:
Xbox YDNRH (You don't need real hardware)
