Microsoft and Sony Corp. revealed in 16 May that they are exploring the joint development of gaming and content streaming services through Azure.
The two companies also appear to be considering a potential one cooperation for Sony's image sensors and Microsoft's Azure AI technology, according to a Microsoft announcement.
"The two companies will explore the use of today's solutions based on Microsoft Azure datacenter for Sony gaming and content streaming services," Microsoft said in a statement. Publication on her blog.
It's no surprise that Microsoft is using Azure to run its next web service xCloud- streaming.
But if Sony - which has its own Xbox competitor with the PlayStation - ends up hosting its own gaming and steaming service on Azure, it would be a major victory for Microsoft.
The agreement could also mean that Sony officially authorizes Microsoft xCloud to run on Sony PlayStation consoles and / or that Sony will use Microsoft Azure based AI technologies in its own gaming and content streaming services.
The exact wording used by Microsoft to describe the agreement is:
"The two companies will jointly explore the development of future cloud solutions in Microsoft Azure that will support the respective game and content streaming services", in addition to the use of modern Azure solutions.
"These efforts will also include building better development platforms for the content creator community," Microsoft said in a statement.
Microsoft's announcement also says the two companies will consider "jointly developing new intelligent solutions for image sensors" and says we'll likely see Sony's image sensors on Microsoft's Azure AI platform and tools working together in some consumer productSony's.
