It's a big missed opportunity they didn't include the ability to stream from your home console. I have the Xbox app sideloaded for that, but it would have been nice to have an official solution.

[@torrez2000]

What's the quality, latency, etc with the xbox app side loaded? I really don't want to have to pay for the monthly subscription to use game pass if i don't have to. I agree, missed opportunity here!

[@acurisur]

It's Xcloud, the same app that runs Xbox Game Pass on your phone. Streaming from your home console is only available on the PC Xbox app. The "sideloaded" Xbox app you used was for Xbox One and Rift, it no longer works on Quest.

[@acurisur]

@@torrez2000 The "Xbox app" side loaded doesn't work on Quest, I've tried. It was for Xbox One and Rift only, when you try to start it now it does nothing.

[@TRX25EX]

​@@acurisurYou can stream your console on phone app as well... Also Xcloud not available in all countries so when you travel or you live in non Xcloud country then at least streaming from console or PC is way to go, but since it doesn't have it then it's pointless app for these countries

[@acurisur]

@@TRX25EX Well in my country there's no streaming from console to phone app, just the PC app. As for this being a pointless app for countries with no Xcloud, well yes. That goes without saying. Just like anyone with a Quest 2 would find a MR app for Quest 3 pointless. You just don't download those apps. As for why there's no Xcloud in some countries? No idea, your only option there is to ask Xbox support.

[@unknown2501]

I was just saying to myself when will this finally come out

[@DemoEvolvedGaming]

I set this up on Quest 2. Approving my gamepass account was a little clumsy with the 2fA requiring me to take the headset off for face recognition, which then caused the app to stop working. The controller setup process caused my hand controls to dissapear and I had to restart the headset. However, I did get it all working and.... WOW. really impressive. I tested Forza Motorsport and it seemed pretty responsive! I think this will work better with 30fps adventure games or turn based stuff but it all works, and well! Nice job MS/Meta

[@JorgeHernandez-oy9ug]

Great! Also, having the screen border or some other 3D game specific decoration like a funko on selected games would be neat. Perhaps even merchandise that temporarily appears on all rooms of a multiplayer session.

[@bazanime]

Fantastic and it's great it can be played in Passthrough as well. 👍🏾

[@Joachim.Jacobs]

I glad this popped on my feed! I've been checking almost everyday to see if it would be released! They didn't even make an announcement on the meta quest channel to let us know it's out which is really weird since they are partners.

[@TheElectrocar]

Great to see an official app. Looking forward to some new environments you can play in but also I do like the passthrough option. Would be nice to be able to pin your screen to a wall and also have the option of customizing your own display size including a flat screen and not curved . All improvements I'm sure are in the backlog.

[@angelexis100]

So you don't need the actual xbox? Like I have a controler that I used on my pc

[@MyAmazingUsername]

I used to have game pass. It's a pretty great deal. Could you make a video about the new SteamVR wireless desktop VR game streaming app for Quest? It came out recently.

[@protechnh]

how did you get passthough to work..i missed that

[@ContrastCopy]

Ok, a bit unrelated, but. Gamepass has No Man’s sky. Gamepass is now on meta quest. No man’s sky already has vr modes for PC and PSVR. So bro, I really want them to make a version for Quest, at least quest 3.

[@DarthSailorMoo]

Won't be able to work because of the standalone specs.

[@technogov2]

Yayyyyy!!!! Now for VR support on Gamepass!

[@The_darkside_of]

Now that would be icing on the cake

[@JorgeHernandez-oy9ug]

It would be awesome if part of the Microsoft agreement would be to include on gamepass the Oculus PCVR games like Asgard's Wrath 1, Brass tactics, Stormland. And why not? A quest 3 and a xbox controller bundle to make a marketing statement.

[@AlestroBakai]

Odd, I'm having the exact same controller issue you're having in the video. Problem is, i can't fix it like you did. I connect the controller in the xbox app, it connects but then it won't work in the app when i start a game. If i connect it outside the app, i shows the controller as found as well, but doesn't work when i launch a game.

[@cyberd3x193]

I removed the controller from the settings and re added it

[@AlestroBakai]

​@@cyberd3x193 it's working now. I noticed that once I paired it inside the Xbox app or Quest home, when I turned the controller off and back on, it wouldn't connect to the controller anymore. Not at all, like it wasn't paired at all. So what I did was forget the controller, pair it again and then without launching Xbox, turn the headset off and back on. Once I did that, turned on the controller and it connected to the headset. Then I launched Xbox app and it worked, first try.

[@The_darkside_of]

IF u have problems with lag etc? Its actually YOUR connection. This thing works flawlessly with absolutely no lag whatsoever. And minimallatency...as long as you have a good connection.. the only problem that may arise is right at the beginning when ur setting up.. after that its smooth...so do not blame the app....ive played about 7 different games for a couple or few hours at each sitting and not once did a problem arise. Perfect!!

[@GrapeMan07]

Can I do this even if I don't have an x box. Like will it still work as long as I get game pass ultimate

[@Arnold_94]

Yes

[@JSDR23]

are there requirements for the xbox controller, I have a 2013 xbox controller and it does not show on the meta quest 3 bluetooth pairing options

[@cgott42]

Does is stream from your local Xbox. Or via fully via the cloud so you can play anywhere you have wifi?

[@johnsmith-vy7vo]

Cloud streaming only from Game Pass cloud servers. Works completely independently of your local Xbox.

[@volcalstone]

You have to side load the Xbox app if you want remote play. This kinda sucks and I'm not sure why they won't allow remote play and only cloud streaming locking you into a sub. I have ultimate for the next few years paid but hopefully they will add it in the future.

[@vracerv]

Would you say, graphics are better on quest 3 or same as samsung tv? No console.

[@ZekeBoysel]

I wonder if in the future you can play games that are regularly compatible with VR with Xbox cloud gaming. Like No mans sky instead of the screen it would be the full VR Game

[@judbaker5752]

Of course that will happen but I can see meta being the ones to do that first. I’m sure PlayStation vr will do something like that too. 👍 good idea

[@GAzcona]

We need 1440p or 4k like GeForce cloud gaming is offering.

[@DONKEYdaDON]

I twisted my ankle running to this video after seeing "Ofiicial" in the title

[@stuartmarshall7099]

How do I enable pass through on this app? There's no options at all except screen size

[@bencullen9422]

Is it gamepass for pc or console? Id like to pick up where i left off from my XSX when i play

[@MrLordbeavis]

I had the same issue what I had to do was unpair all the controllers that I tried and then reboot my quest 3 and then repair the controller and it worked great

[@JSDR23]

I am having the same issue , how do you unpair the xbox controllers to work on the quest 3?

[@blancducolletisabelle7596]

Great, I'm very happy with it. I sometimes play Play Station games flat on the PSVR2 and I always love the experience. Being able to also do it on the Quest with the games from xBox Game Pass ultimate is very good

[@marcinlegacy9660]

We can play this via PC with instaled xbox games with better setup graphic? Or it's only for cloud?

[@johnsmith-vy7vo]

Cloud only.

[@Bushman69420]

Can i do this with a ps4 controller?

[@acurisur]

It's an Xbox app, so no.

[@ValtarPL]

​@@acurisur PS4 controller works

[@acurisur]

@@ValtarPL Cool, I have PS4 controllers but I'm not going to use them as you can't change the Xbox controller button layout onscreen.

[@nando7873]

It would be cool if Microsoft started releasing VR titles that are cloud-based to get more subscribers to the game pass..

[@ContrastCopy]

I think latency in VR is extremely noticeable, so probably won’t be around for a while.

[@acurisur]

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 is cloud based.

[@TRX25EX]

​@@ContrastCopyit's not actually, I tired it using Virtual Desktop with 5G network, there's no noticeable latency at 90fps AV1..... If they use AV1 it will be great

[@robertmcmahon4549]

​​@@acurisuronly to load the scenery in,the game isnt streamed like you do with this app.i played it with this app and found it lagged abit and i get artifacts.less demanding games seem to work better

[@acurisur]

@@robertmcmahon4549 Read what I said again. I didn't say Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020, the current sim. I said Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, which is going to be a cloud based sim.

[@dbean2321]

I never could get my Xbox series x controller to pair. Looks like the issue happened to you that I had but you went through the pair and it worked. For me it just lost connection over and over

[@AdrianGE98]

Can you check if games that support vr can be played in cloud gaming, like flight simulator or no mans sky

[@vangoghoff5521]

Be very nice but I saw somewhere it would only be available as 2d

[@bou222]

Mine did that with the controller too. Too fix it, I went into settings and forogt the device, and re - paired it and everything worked great from then on. Just like what you did in the video.

[@faerieknight2298]

Huh, will have to try this out. EDIT: Okay, tried it out. Wish it supported streaming content from your console it's self too. The games I'd be most interested in playing this way are not available as cloud streaming, or require too fine of twitch reflexes for cloud gaming's known input lag issues.

[@JackPelaFox]

Hey, question, does it have an option to stream your own console in it? 🤔

[@johnsmith-vy7vo]

No.

[@바보Queen]

do you need gamepass ultimate or which tier do you need to play on quest

[@whiteravenjp]

Ultimate is the tier you'd need for cloud streaming, which is on quest

[@NostalgicTribe]

Been having controller problems. Where it pairs but sent recognized on the xbox apps. They used to work. Was using apk xbox apps and after an update a while ago they stopped recognizing the controllers. I mean it would work like a mouse basically. Havent tried the new app tho. Used the Fluid app and had it working. Cloud gaming blows tho. There a delay.

[@ChrisMochinskiMusic]

Do you have to UNPAIR the controller from your Xbox X in order to connect it with the Quest 3?

[@alvodisco]

Yeah

[@Xm797]

I mean you can get a type c to usb cord and put those in

[@whodat105]

Controller pairing was the only issue I had. Eventually it worked after deleting the controller from quest then pairing from inside the app.

[@StevieDrawStuff]

I cannot get hand tracking to change screen size on my quest 2. I can get the menu to work. I even switched it from left to right and still not working

[@sethgarfinkel]

How does this compare to xreal and other xr glasses for playing?

[@jjoseph2267]

better in my opinion because it works on its own and has its own content

[@sethgarfinkel]

@@jjoseph2267 welp, I grabbed it. Have not tried yet. Fingers crossed. My concern is that I really want to use it for work as well as play and am a little worried about feeling sweaty and hot after an hour or 2. But it certainly seems more capable than the brainless glasses. I guess if I want to connect directly from my series x to it instead of cloud gaming I will just have the side load the android Xbox app. I wish through were better integration with my IPhone, but I can understand why. Fingers crossed and thanks for the feedback.

[@feschuh]

@@jamesfoster5165 oh yes I do. I don’t mean real 4K or better UHD resolution on the Display (as the part where the game runs wouldn’t use the whole resolution of Q3 anyways.

[@guythatmakessense2033]

I’m interested in this because I have ps extra and quite like it (it got me to this “Netflix of gaming” idea) and gamepass sounds intriguing to me for the Xbox exclusives but I no longer own Xbox. Maybe with this I could pay for its subscription and play it without the need to own the box itself?

Awesome in theory but the latency is terrible. I wish you could download the games like you can with Xbox Game pass on the console. I've got a 512GB Meta Quest 3, I've got the storage and it would make this usable. Right now the latency is too poor.

I fully believe that Xbox’s future in the gaming space is entirely based around game pass and not console gaming at all. They stand to earn a ton of money from it if they can start nail down AAA releases back to back reliably. Games like RDR2 and Balders Gate 3. Hell I could see them working out a deal with Sony to have a “PS exclusives” add on to standard game pass on PS5 if they really wanted to go all in on pass.

[@acurisur]

Phil Spencer has recently said they're already several years in with regards to making the next Xbox console, so no, they won't be exiting the console market any time soon. If anything, acquiring Call of Duty is going to make a lot of casuals who only play that game switch to Xbox for next gen.

I want Imax screen size like that one we see at movie playing apps. I will pass this one.

[@acurisur]

The Xbox app was for Rift only, not Quest. It needs a wired connection to be stable enough to stream from your console.
