Xbox Console Streaming is a facet of Microsoft's ambitious Project xCloud that uses your Xbox One console to locally stream any of your favorite games to a mobile device like your phone or tablet. While not as exciting on the surface as streaming games directly from Microsoft to wherever you are in the world, Xbox Console Streaming is an awesome way to game on the fly, or even in bed.
To get started, you'll need to download the Xbox Game Streaming (Preview) app for Android onto your mobile device and be enrolled in the Preview Ring of the Xbox Insiders program. The set-up process is super seamless, and once you're in it's as simple as choosing the game you want to play from what you have installed on your Xbox.
