According to a report by WindowsCentral, they report that Microsoft is testing its xCloud service so that it can run games with high resolution. From the pictures, you can see statistics like bandwidth, jitter, to the stability of the connection.

In the image, it is also shown that the game is running at a resolution of 1920x1080p. For your information, the current xCloud service can only stream games at 720p resolution. Improvements made by Microsoft is fairly reasonable.
