Xbox Cloud Gaming Review - The Perfect To-Go Solution?

[@Paul-ng4jx]

I’ve been cloud gaming for a while. I don’t even own an Xbox anymore and I can play it just fine and one of the main games I play is fallout 76 and that’s a massively big game and when I can play it in perfect harmony with no slowdowns no lag no nothing Xbox game pass streaming is the best to me

[@jjayala]

I have the S just cuz I could and it didn't hurt but I clouded just on my tablet a long time.

[@JosephLyons-k1m]

What is the cheapest smart TV I need to purchase to make this happen?

[@jjayala]

@user-qz9zb6gk3m you can use a firestick with any monitor.

[@josephgonzalez4417]

Do you think it is worth it? Like there isn’t any delay or issues with like a backbone on iOS?

[@AboutGamesSTV]

@@josephgonzalez4417 I heard that the backbone works great on IOS. But the Cloud gaming service is still in Beta service. I think it is a nice addition to the game pass ultimate subscription which comes with it (for now). But I think they could make a standalone cloud service once it's reached its full potential and not in Beta anymore. Yet you always rely on internet.

[@aleksaloum750]

For some reason I didn't even know this was a thing. I was just playing battlefield v multi-player and it's amazing. Considering of how new this is. It loaded games just as fast as my Xbox series s. It's crazy. Mind blown today!

[@thelegendof420]

I just recently tried xbox Cloud Gaming (today) again and man, it's night and day compared to the last time i tried it which was about 5 months ago. I play on my series X with an internet connection averaging about 70 mbps. I love the fact that i dont have to install anything no waiting and i dont have to eat up my hard drive space. It's not perfect by any means but i see the future in gaming.

[@MrTam70050]

I don't know about everyone else, but the app works great for me. I'm able to play Halo Infinite multiple and go toe to toe with native console players. I have good internet and a backbone.

[@Stefan-bl8yk]

Got my series S yesterday, absolutely perfect video, told me what i wanted to know and more.

[@AboutGamesSTV]

@@Stefan-bl8yk thank you very much! 😊 glad you enjoyed the video! Have fun with your Series S! It’s a great machine 👍🏻

[@AboutGamesSTV]

@@hopium999 I like the series S a lot too and the size is just perfect! It fits everywhere 😊

[@chrismatsuzaka6107]

I’m a Mac user and I also got steam deck and switch but I love gaming Xbox cloud it’s so convenient! I actually finished several games on Xbox cloud lol. Hope one day we will get a better version of Xbox cloud

[@AboutGamesSTV]

@@chrismatsuzaka6107 I am a mac user as well (but for gaming primarily on Xbox if I am at home). And I agree it’s super convenient! And I love the fact that they are rolling out mouse and keyboard support for some titles. Although I hope too that the version will improve someday. Especially input lag and bitrate is still an issue. But if it will improve, I am almost certain that they will increase the price, or give people a standalone option for cloud gaming. But it’s just a guess…

[@Yosefskinner9]

great video, i use the back bone! i love it. one the go gaming everday, 5g works better than wifi most times

[@AboutGamesSTV]

@@Yosefskinner9 Thank you!!! ☺️ Do you notice any controller input latency with the back bone?

[@Yosefskinner9]

@@AboutGamesSTV not at all

[@Paul-ng4jx]

I’ve got Xbox game pass installed on my Fire TV cube third generation with an Xbox series X controller connected to it plus, I got it on my phone too, and I got a controller. It snaps down into to turn it into a handheld

[@AboutGamesSTV]

@@Paul-ng4jx the firestick is a great addition! How about the input latency there? And thank you for your comment! 😊

[@michaelbowler565]

Input lag won't help when your connected to your phone using Bluetooth. Have a plug in controller like the backbone

[@AboutGamesSTV]

@@michaelbowler565 yea that seems to be the issue. To bad though because I love using the elite controller 😕

[@LNXEV4LLY]

I love Xbox cloud gaming I can't wait till it comes out of beta I plan to giveaway my Xbox now they recently added cloud gaming to firestick, great video :)

[@AboutGamesSTV]

@@LNXEV4LLY Thank you very much! 😊 Yes I think the firestick solution is pretty good for a lot of gamers out there 👍🏻

[@cortez367]

remember you wont have the full catalog of games you just doing cloud games. some games can only be played on the xbox or PC

[@LNXEV4LLY]

@@cortez367 Ik but I don’t really money on games very often thanks tho

[@isaidj11]

Recently I haven't time to play on my xbox console. I can play quickly any game on cloud anywhere.

[@stennex]

Dude what and where can I get that attachment you have on your Xbox Elite controller. Great vid.

[@AboutGamesSTV]

@@stennex it’s from PowerA the MOGA clip for Xbox controllers. Actually it was the cheapest one I could find (with good reviews). This one though is for the older shaped controllers like the elite one. For the Series controllers (the normal new ones) it is a little too tight. For me and the Elite controller it works well though. Just check the brand and name on Amazon. 😊 If you need a link, let me know 👍🏻 Thanks for your comment!!! Next video is in the works right now 💪🏻

[@carljthatsme94]

I was sat on my break playing Hellblade 2 on my phone....just think about that. Explain that to someone 10 years ago. It's not flawless. But it's good enough.

[@AboutGamesSTV]

@@carljthatsme94 absolutely agreed! It’s crazy what is possible nowadays. And like you said, it’s good enough. The potential is there, but also depends on the game.

[@Captburkey]

Im loving cloud gaming on my iphone

[@evandelph8052]

If you already have a PC use Moonlight. 👍🏼

[@AboutGamesSTV]

@@evandelph8052 interesting! I have never heard about that platform before. I am going to read into that.

[@sammuelhernandez1114]

Ive been using a firestick with a controller or my phone with a backbone and its pretty good! Playing master chief collection! Hopefully they stabilize it a bit better!

[@AboutGamesSTV]

@@sammuelhernandez1114 nice! Glad to hear that the backbone works great as well! Thank you for your comment ☺️

[@Kayshawns-World]

Do I need a fire stick?

[@AboutGamesSTV]

@@Kayshawns-World not necessarily. You can also just play on a laptop, phone for example. The firestick offers people with just a TV and controller to play via cloud. If you don’t have the console itself. But check which firestick you need. I am not sure but I think it has to be the newer version.

[@donnri78]

Awesome! Great job.

Xbox Beat Playstation Again and Again 😂

[@AboutGamesSTV]

@@Footballgoater i am excited to see how cloud gaming in general will turn out it the future. For now, XBOX with the option to provide gaming on basically every screen seems to be the right move. It’s all access and everywhere (where internet works well enough). Thank you for your comment 😊

[@Footballgoater]

@@AboutGamesSTV I have been using it for a Year now or more and the Only downside of it was when they removed GTA 5 😂😂😂

[@AboutGamesSTV]

@@Footballgoater yes! GTA5 in game pass was cool! Actually made me play the game again - well, the story. This game is is just evergreen.

[@Asadc1995]

How stable is it? Atm since coming from me who is a long time geforce now and even boosteroid user

[@AboutGamesSTV]

@@Asadc1995 stability is quite good even if it’s still in beta. But sometimes the input latency is a litte slow… you can tell especially in first person titles. I hope that changes once it out of beta. How is geforce now? And thanks for your comment 😊

[@Asadc1995]

@@AboutGamesSTV Several factors depends not just your own connection also from the server data center end. But ofc having a stable telefom provider. When we talk about mobile broadband too makes a huge difference in terms of 5G

[@hvdiv17]

could gaming has its place i was cloud gaming on a crappy apu pc system with no graphics card playing starfield so it has its place.

[@TNT_P0D]

since its on (beta) does that mean we cant get ahold if new games on gamepass ??

[@AboutGamesSTV]

@@TNT_P0D that is in fact a good question! I believe you can get the new games too but they may not be optimized for a smooth experience via streaming. But I find your question interesting and I will keep an eye on it for further game releases if there is a release delay. Thank you for your comment!!!

[@MarioSanGaming]

I have a fire Tv and the app shows up but its unavailable to download, eventhough it was run Luna+ just fine, I wonder if eventually they will allow more devices to be compatible

[@AboutGamesSTV]

@@MarioSanGaming That is interesting! I wonder why. Especially since the app is showing up. Did you try to update the fire tv? Maybe it needs the latest firmware. Or maybe even reset it and install new if there is no update.

[@MarioSanGaming]

@@AboutGamesSTV Ill try the reset, tv is less than a week old and I already updated it to the latest firmware

[@AboutGamesSTV]

@@MarioSanGaming hope it works. Let me know!

[@Omega-h4e]

It's because you have an older version of the fire stick. I have the same problem. You have to have one from 2023 or later.

[@chisomchuba9672]

No audio

[@AboutGamesSTV]

@@chisomchuba9672 the video? Because it does have audio. Or you don’t have audio while gaming via cloud gaming?

[@gaming-zombie1392]

I play on Xcloud, GFN, and Luna.....

[@AboutGamesSTV]

How is GFN and Luna compared to Xcloud?

[@mcmilliftw1166]

The latency is horrible still and even on a gigabit Ethernet connection

[@AboutGamesSTV]

@@mcmilliftw1166 interesting thing is, I tested on wifi and there was the same latency between a gigabit and a normal 250. I did that in the US (with gigabit only) an din Germany (both). So I think that at some point it isn’t getting better regardless of the internet connection. I wonder if it will be gone once it’s out of beta service… But in the end only console or PC will give gamers the best experience.

[@mcmilliftw1166]

@@AboutGamesSTV it’s gotta be a problem with their servers, gfn has no noticeable input lag, if Xbox cloud can minimize the server issues and input lag I’d seriously consider it a viable gaming option. But for now gfn is my go to.

[@AboutGamesSTV]

@@mcmilliftw1166I wonder if it will work at some point. (And what it will cost the user…). But it gives hope if gfn for example doesn’t have this issue. I remember that gfn was in beta for quite some years as well but never had the chance to test this too.

[@mcmilliftw1166]

@@AboutGamesSTV oh I’d go check it out it’s so much better

[@Suave-3]

I cant find it on the App Store

[@AboutGamesSTV]

@@Suave-3 if you play on a notebook like MacBook then you need to play through the browser. Just log into your account (I recommend chrome - is pretty fast) and play via the browser. On the phone on the other hand like iPhone you can download apps. But phone only. Let me know if it works 😊

[@rfitzpatrick723]

Xcloud is browser only on iPhone and you create a shortcut for your Home Screen. Once the shortcut is created it works just like an app.

[@0verkill3508]

How fast is ur wifi?

[@AboutGamesSTV]

@0verkill3508 the video was tested on 5ghz on a 1gig line in the US. I tested in Germany too on a 250k line on 5ghz as well and there wasn’t any difference at all. Even if the general speed in Germany was significantly slower. Although I testet without wifi on 5G in both countries as well. Still the same and had input lag. So I think in general even if you have the newest router and the fastest wifi the beta version is input lag wise not quite there yet…
