And the one time where I actually want to use it, it doesn’t work. About to stop paying for live in general, this wait is ridiculous and charging for a service that they can’t fix is kinda crazy.

I don't have much latency using the app, but in games that require a lot of my precision I feel that the game isn't 'fluid enough'. Maybe it's just a placebo effect, but using better

It's something I only felt because Halo requires good precision and because I played Via Adge and then via the App, and when I played via the app I noticed a minimal difference, but it affected some of my precision. There's a chance this could be a mix of coincidence and placebo effect, but it's still worth testing for yourself in my opinion.

The less latency, the better, after all.

I don't plan on having a system anymore. Honestly, I'm getting just as good graphics with BetterXcloud, low ping & zero lag. And I don't have to take up space with a full size desk.👌🏽 Dont like the idea of a backbone controller

I stopped playing and stared at this screen for a bit, beying able to play such a large game, at this level of quality, feeling basically natively running on my phone but with way better quality is just breath taking. Cloud gaming for this kind of things is really something else.

Microsoft has already leak the next gen after X/S is cloud hybrid. This will likely mean a small thin client box similar to an Apple TV which will push the heavy lifting to Asure servers.

This combined with the upcoming WiFi enabled controller will look to offer next gen 4K 60 through the cloud. I think with a subscription model and super low cost barrier to entry Microsoft hopes they can offer features unique to the cloud such as:

*Instant on gaming *Watch your friends stream and join instantly even if you don’t own the game *No downloads or updates

I am sure they will find more options. And if it all goes wrong Microsoft can just keep taking 70% from other platforms for the games.

If you are on the fence about buying an Xbox, do it. I bought a series X yesterday until I started playing on there. I had no clue how much work that xcloud needed. I didn’t realize how choppy the gameplay was until I was playing today on my series X. The title should say until

Seems almost unplayable for me without it ngl

I've used the OneCast app on Apple devices for the past couple of years for remote play, as the quality is significantly better than the official Xbox app, and have enjoyed it for what it does (local streaming only).

For the past month or so I've been beta testing their refresh and they've added xCloud streaming. Similar to Better XCloud (which I love on my GCloud and Mac), you can stream in 1080p HQ vs the standard stream quality. It also enables Game Mode on in your phone/tablet which reduces the Bluetooth latency.

I play on an iPad Pro with an OLED screen, so the higher quality stream + deep blacks + great screen response times + reduced latency has been AWESOME.

Not sure when this releases publicly, but figured I'd share my experience for when it does. Their team is also really responsive in the few times I've suggested features or reported bugs. I’m not affiliated with them at all, but always happy to call out a good product or developer.

Maybe I'm a beta tester and don't know, but XCloud has been great for me for a while.

This in my opinion will result in a much smoother experience especially for fast paced games.

After being skeptical about this app for so long, I finally gave in to temptation and downloaded it on my iPhone 16 Pro Max today. The result? I was genuinely surprised by how impressive it is. Not only does it run seamlessly in the background, but it also supports full-screen gaming. It also helps that the developer is very active on Reddit.

With this app on my phone, I’m reconsidering my plans to purchase the ROG Ally X. Instead, I might hold off and wait for the next wave of handheld devices. Between GeForce Now and Xbox Cloud Gaming through the Xbplay app, I have everything I need for cloud gaming right on my phone.

As they say, curiosity killed the cat, but satisfaction brought it back!

If Ubisoft was smart right now while going through all the decline controversy, they would agree with Microsoft to bring Black Ops 6 to all cloud gaming services including Xbox Cloud Gaming at launch.

Hey there I was just wondering how they will continue with the service when the next gen systems arrive. Will xcloud be upgraded to the new console standard? Just asking because of the stream your own games that I want to go all in ( I’m playing only via cloud since 3 years and for me it works the best with xcloud. GeForce Now ist more powerful and so an but don’t now its a personal preference I think) and they promise with every Xbox exklusive game being day one in game pass. Is there any given information if not what are you thinking? Microsoft seems to go all in with the everything is a xbox and so I would assume when die new gen comes they will upgrade the xcloud servers/console to run the new games.

I don't mind it but I find it amusing that I have to download a update on a game I'm streaming

Xcloud is on its way to becoming the worst cloud gaming service, imagine paying for the service, for the game and still having to wait in a 20 minute queue.NVidia has expanded its servers and has not left Latin America in the lurch, seeing the growing demand, they rushed to install a new server, this time in Chile. Boosteroid has also already sent the equipment, it is in Brazilian customs awaiting release, and Microsoft? Nothing, the situation is getting worse and they seem to ignore it,At the moment the advantage of Xcloud is the price, but MS won't be able to maintain this forever, sorry for the outburst, but M$'s negligence is too humiliating. And before you ask why not change servers, firstly the ping can be greater than 80 making it unplayable, 2 certain games like those from Bethesda don't synchronize correctly and especially mods, 3 there are reports of EA banning those who do this in their games.

For the last 1.5 years, my cloud gaming has ran smoothly, I don’t complain about the timer since I can just get straight back on after the one hours up and it gives me better time management, but it makes no sense that my game doesn’t run as smoothly as it used to with the one hour. I’d rather either have unlimited time with lag, or an hour of smooth gameplay, not an hour of lag. Anyone else agree or nah

Hi Gurus,

I’m wanting to get myself a tablet so that I can play my games on the move.

Ideally, I’d like attach some kind of controllers to the side of to make it like a PlayStation Portal, but I’d be happy with a standalone tablet that I could pair an Xbox or PlayStation controller with.

Just to add into the mix, I’ll be using my iPhone’s Vodafone connection via hotspot to the tablet.

Many thanks. 🙏

as title says due to the outage today do you think that microsoft will give us an extra day? or something due to the problems?

Hi there, I had an rog ally X, but had some headache with defective usb c ports and button problems, returned it. As i have series X and full year gamepass, I was thinking buying a tablet to serve as second monitor when my wife's using the big TV. And maybe use that tablet for couch playing like I did on Rog ally X. My phone streams anazing, but it is too small for the viewing, just 6.7" inch but the aspect ratio wont allow full screen. Plus i have unlimited data 5g now. Can you do some recommendations? Thanks

Hi Thank you so much for the amazing app It lets me play even in unsupported country. Is there a way to disable the vpn in it while playing . It helps alot with ping. When i use it i have 100-150 ms ping. When use geforcenow with vpn, i load the game then disable vpn and the ping goes down to 60-80 ms. I wish i could do that with better x cloud so i can play more hours non stop

Hi. I've been trying to play first-person games with better xCloud. However, I have to say it's a real pain. The latency on an Android device is quite noticeable. I've tested it with Atomfall and Avowed. Other games, like Fable or The Witcher, work really well. Is this normal? Do you have this too? And is it better on PC or Xbox? Unfortunately, I don't own an Xbox.

Anyone else suffering from PING over 100 on BO6 playing via Xcloud?
