IS IT WORTH IT?! Xbox Cloud Gaming on Meta Quest 3 - HONEST Review (Pros & Cons) 🎮

[@hearmeout1966]

Meta Quest 3 is a game changer. No pun intended. Amazing VR headset. Best one to own.

[@GusMix79]

It’s a nice experience. Tried to play Starfield and I pulled the screen extremely close to me so I was almost a little surrounded by it. Felt quite good. I hope they will continue improving on this. I’d love to have the direct streaming option from my Xbox to my Meta headset or even just plug in the cable in my Xbox and this opens automatically. Hope they work together improving our experience.

[@mjimenez4667]

For single player its passable but MP it's just not good enough yet... i have broadband internet from spectrum and its still choppy when playing Halo infinite MP ... very hard to aim and hit your shots but SP is more forgivable although not great either...i wish they would just add the Xbox app on the quest so i can stream my games from my console... which would be much better for someone like me that owns a series X

[@BA-rh5hy]

Would be great to use the link cable and connect hardwire

[@TheVirtualOz]

Spectrum is poo poo

Refreshing to hear an honest review, just downloaded it and wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything. Will give it a go now. My concern was around lat/lag especially when playing a responsive game

[@benodey283]

Are the games not in 3d? That would make it worth it for sure

[@CH-eg5rd]

The first time i used this app i was able to run multiple screens. It was cool because I could run a movie off to the side and game at the same time. Seems like they got rid of that capability with an update because the screen soze butrons weren't always there. Has anyone else figured out a workaroud?

[@cednar]

Very interesting. It could be the start of something huge in the future.

[@billyburgess3912]

I’m enjoying game pass on my meta quest 2 , do you know what benefits if in upgrade to meta quest 3 over the 2 for gamepass

[@CliveIllenden]

I think the only real benefit is you get "pass through" on the Quest 3.

[@MobileDecay]

I tried it with Halo and it was unbearable. I couldn’t wait till the match was over. The amount of latency was horrendous. I can’t imagine playing cod like that. Some games are alright but fps games. I would like to see Geforce now come to Meta Quest because the input lag there is damn near unnoticeable.

[@jbizman7]

I use Verizon there very good not one bit of lag

[@zhopeless2672]

GeForce now on quest would be a real game changer, I hope they bring it over..

[@khele2k]

Yes I find it terrible at home and I have a great 5G connection. It's unplayably laggy. If they let you download the games like they do on console it would be fantastic, but they likely won't because trying to play anything that needs an internet connection is always trash (Nintendo Switch works because it uses cartridges). I had the same experience with XBOX Game Pass even when trying to stream with an ethernet connection. I played Hitman and it was terrible, BUT when I downloaded Starfield and Guardians of the Galaxy (while it was on Game Pass) it was terrific. Let us download the games on Meta Quest 3 and it'll be epic.

[@artpena72]

i have xbox on my samsung tv and it works great, it's not perfect but it is a step in the right direction. for those that don't want to buy a console its a great option. i compared it to my xbox and it's pretty close.

[@dusermiginte4647]

May I ask which model?

[@Paul-ng4jx]

It’s good to me. I only cloud game I don’t own an Xbox anymore. Every once in a while I have a lag issue, but that’s due to my Internet because I’m using T-Mobile home Internet and at certain times of the day they might throttle it due to traffic, but other than that, I play fallout 76 on a Samsung tablet and I use the chrome web browser and I just hooked my Xbox controller up to it that’s it. I don’t have no issues.

[@Isaac615n]

I have a quest 2 and im using a knockoff ps4 controller using hotspot because my wifi is bad. If im honest.. i think its very cool i will be playing most of my xbox games this way like yakuza series im playing through

[@scweekyclansman3635]

It’s better than playing on a projector but worse than a monitor so for me that’s good enough I’m loving it just want my games i already own

[@theocooper6205]

That’s the next update for xcloud, being able to stream your owned games

[@RaleighVeteran]

My son got a new Xbox X. We've seen how to transfer data from old to new. Question is better to do with a cable box to box or wifi?

[@CliveIllenden]

Most games save in the "cloud" so if you're playing the game via the Xcloud on the Meta it should be the same save as if you were playing the game directly on Xbox

[@guilopuitasv576]

I got a question, if my wifi company gives my family 250 mb/s (speed) but, only like 10Terabytes(approximately) does Cloud gaming take more wifi away than if I was playing on a digital game on Xbox? Or does it take the same amount of wifi?

[@CliveIllenden]

Cloud gaming will use more data than just playing natively on your Xbox. But at 250mbps you've plenty.

[@darrellcopejr5]

I have Metronet Fiber 1gb/1gb and it lags too much for me...even right next to the main router

[@WittyGooseRacing]

Great video, awesome to play I’m sure but no way would I subject myself to the public in a public space such as a train carriage or airport lounge with a VR headset on.

[@khele2k]

I just watched two movies on a plane while flying over Christmas. People were actually asking me questions about the VR with genuine interest. If you're embarrassed then consider sitting in a window seat in the back.

[@jjfernandez9252]

The quest 2 was finally marked down to $199, is it worth it to buy to try out cloud gaming? My question is will I still have access to the many things you mention in this vid like Geforce now?

[@CliveIllenden]

Yes Xcloud works on the Meta Quest 2, - I wouldn't buy JUST for cloud gaming, but more as an overall VR experience (although I only have the Meta Quest 3 - so my experience is based on that). Sadly there's not a dedicated app for GeForceNow - but it would be awesome if there was (since GFN is superior to Xcloud). You can work around it by playing remotely via your desktop - but that would introduce unnecessary lag.

[@JoshuaColeman-dv7ks]

Can I use my quest mic to be in multi-player chat with a friend that is using a Xbox?

[@1kulik]

Is keyboard and mouse support coming?

[@gdiggedy9]

Nicely done Clive! 👍🏾

[@lysycdatom]

Is normal Xbox app on meta quest? This app can stream games from local Xbox. Pls write is it available?

[@CliveIllenden]

It's the normal Xbox cloud gaming app. So streams from cloud rather than local Xbox

[@lysycdatom]

Yes i know, i asked other app just named Xbox (you can check in phone), and this can stream localy instaled games on yours Xbox and i thinking if is available on meta quest? Asked because in this app u have better quality (Of course u need physical xbox) and play games not avaibel in games pass. Thx if u can check it for me or maybe website with listed apps on quest?

[@barzun8]

played fifa 23 and it was great! no latency at all!

[@djangofett4855]

Cloud gaming as of now is not for multiplayer games. It’s for one player games that don’t need much timing and precision like a RPG

[@jayydickerson2891]

Cloud gaming works, but you have so many latency issues even with the best wifi available, and graphics bug out severely. Not to mention load up time is horrendous on its best days

[@CliveIllenden]

depends what you use.... GeForce Now Ultimate is stunning - and works incredibly well for me

[@Isaac615n]

[@ggarrison1087]

the queue times are insane. simple games work well. AAA fps not so much. battery life on the mq3 is very short when using cloud gaming. you better be tethered to a wall socket and have a great network access point. its interesting but also very very early. 2-3 more years and consoles will be redundant and inconvenient even in your own home.

[@dadsongamer2653]

Wait time is your connection

[@CliveIllenden]

I have average 50mbps internet. I've been using cloud gaming for 3 years, and it's worked a treat. However, if your internal home network is a mess (uses 2.4ghz rather than 5 GHz or has loads of interference), then it doesn't matter what speed your getting. But of common sense when it comes to your network when using cloud gaming. Most of the time I use ethernet rather than WiFi - to maximise set up in house.

[@treyfrazier1]

We are not even close to cloud gaming being worth it. I have an amazing internet connection and they are all just not worth it. Stop misleading people.

[@CliveIllenden]

Wrong. GeForce Now Ultimate is like a near native experience. In some tests a better latency and response time than a native Xbox Series X. Sure, Xcloud is not the best example of cloud gaming - but cloud gaming is here and well worth it if you've experienced something like GeForce Now Ultimate. Try an Ultimate day pass on GFN then tell me what you think.

[@Fades_WRLD]

It depends on the device... Cloud gaming to my Tab S6 lags but doesn't on my S23 Ultra.... I've used the "Immersed" app with my Tab S6 and it wasn't that great, but I'm going to try it with my S23 Ultra with yhe Meta quest because I can't see myself paying for Xbox Game Pass...

What a negative point of view you have trapped yourself into. I have shit internet and almost exclusively cloud game on my Xbox. It usually works better than downloading the game onto the console itself. I have very very rarely had any issues at all.
