As of Jully 22nd Microsoft is shutting down it own streaming service Mixer and partenering up with Facebook to bring us Facebook gaming which is Facebooks new streaming service, Microsoft had announced that they had taken Ninja and Shroud from Twitch to try and get more people to stream on Mixer but it went and failed to reach the audience they were looking for.

than mixer as well, Microsoft is hoping if they collaborate with Facebook they will hit the high amout of audience the are looking for.
With Microsoft failing in the past with Groove Music and signed a a deal with Spotify it looks like the are doing the same thing again.
Microsoft are looking to hit its 2 billion users with Facebook gaming and push its new service Xcloud for seemless streaming and able to join people games by just clicking on the game that is being played, it was stated that they made the decision because Mixer wasnt getting the figures necessary and didnt really want to pump more money into something that didnt work. Hopefully this collaboration will work and we will see Xcloud coming to Facebook games in the near future.
