In the Jeuxvideo interview Spenser mentions that the have 100's thousands of players on xCloud. Quite well stress tested then!
(I'm not assuming concurrency, but that's still plenty of concurrent players with a base that large)

ehhh... iphone why....
side note, finally MS trying a bit better at targeting the entire world as it's market and not just north america.
South America and Africa is sorely missed here as well as Mexico and a majority of Asia.
Wasteland 3 on the go would be pretty sick. I'm really starting to go back to those types of genres. Just need some PoE 2!

Today we’re excited to share more about what you can expect. Beginning September 15, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate members can play more than 100 games from the cloud on their Android phone or tablet. Cloud gaming will launch in beta for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate members in 22 markets to ensure stability as we scale the feature to millions of gamers.
When cloud gaming launches as part of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, players will have access to more than 100 high-quality games playable from the cloud, including Minecraft Dungeons, Destiny 2, Tell Me Why, Gears 5, Yakuza Kiwami 2, and more. And as we’ve committed to providing day-one access to new titles from Xbox Game Studios as part of Xbox Game Pass, it’s our intent to make those same games available in the cloud from the day they release. We’ll have more to share about the full catalog of games as we approach launch.
Cloud gaming with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate will be available on Android devices in 22 markets at launch, including Austria, Belgium, Canada, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Spain, South Korea, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States.

Yeah Apple takes a cut of subscription purchases that are bought through an iOS app... and will basically not approve apps that try to circumvent it: https://www.businessinsider.com/apple-developer-rage-30-percent-app-store-tax-2020-6
So basically I think Micrososft would have to offer superscription purchases through the app and would lose a cut to Apple.
Though I'd have to think Google is doing the same with Android? Maybe it's a smaller cut?

I think google is a much smaller cut. Audible allows purchases through the app on andriod and always has.
Is MS/Razor charging $20 for microsoft branding ?

swap between andriod and andriod (xbox) aside from xbox branded buttons why the $20 diffrence ?
Looks like it. Though there is a 14-day trial for Game Pass Ultimate. Seems excessive if that's all.

Google Play Store, but it's going to be on Samsung Galaxy Store & the ONE Store too.

It's the Xbox Game Streaming app on the Play store.
APK
But it's not legitimately available for download as an APK for consumers. Not saying you couldn't find it if you snooped for it though.

The problem with mixer was that you couldn't get it on the popular streaming hardware like fire sticks
No its not at the moment.
I think on android its easier to get around google play. MS is friendly with samsung (They were selling the phones in store) so it may appear on the galaxy store and to get around any fee google wants they could just have it as an apk on their site.
Its region locked tho. Need to use 3rd party site to manually grab the apk and install it.
Then use VPN to supported country. As the xcloud service itself is ip address geo fenced
For obviously very good reasons.
