This is not the first streaming experiment Ubisoft has been involved with; it is using Assassin's Creed: Odyssey in Japan to test out game streaming to Nintendo's Switch in an effort to broaden the range of game's available on the hybrid console.

Game streaming has been attempted before, with the ill-fated OnLive service one of the most high-profile failures.

It has been rumoured that Microsoft is going to make a serious play in the space when it launches the Xbox Two, with some suggesting the Xbox One follow-up may come in a streaming-only flavour.
