Comcast Testing Videogame Streaming Service in Partnership With EA

Comcast is testing a streaming videogame service in partnership with Electronic Arts, the cable company said Tuesday. Its Xfinity Games offering doesn't use a console or game controllers but is controlled by users' smartphones or tablets, with the games streaming over Comcast Xfinity subscribers' X1 boxes, Comcast said. Xfinity Games follows Comcast's unveiling of its video streaming service, Stream, earlier this week (see 1507130008).
