console and cloud gaming re 2 different products or at least complementary. too much clickbait... It's a very good move by Xbox to be present on other platforms like the Fire TV Stick, it won't take away from console sales in any way, these are 2 different experiences for different types of players or at worst this are 2 complementary solutions for playing these xbox games at the same time in the living room, in your bedroom, etc... And in any case, it's even more game pass, that's Xbox's goal with the presence in the Fire TV Stick. This is also why Xbox does not offer and will not offer all these games on PlayStation for example, simply because the gamepass is not present there, the interest therefore remains limited only to certain games (gaas for instance).

How is more options bad ? I’m playing Spider-Man remaster on my Xbox now

[@timbo303official9]

I think a better example would be super mario 64 as its possible to run on an xbox.

[@G74]

Stadia made you pay for each individual game on top of the monthly subscription fee as opposed to Game Pass where your monthly subscription gets you a large catalogue of games.

[@MrBroon]

I'm excited now get a fire stick for my outdoor TV and play on my deck!

[@selahr.]

Amazon Fire TV already has cloud gaming (under the name Luna) and that supports Ubisoft cloud games already.

[@thegarshowvipmix5041]

Here's a difference. If you have Game Pass on your Xbox, you have the option to stream or download and play the games from your hard drive. On the Fire Stick you can only stream. That is what makes the console version of Game Pass better.

[@juniorcorporan3399]

Is it just me or does RGT, with a little bit more mustache, look like Mario or what?.. also, the xbots made Ms go crazy. Those ppl just wanna leech all day so Ms has to stoop this low. Advertising ps5 controllers to play their games 😂.

[@PaperBanjo64]

It's ug me! RGT! 😂

[@kaligh]

I’m gonna wait and see if they bring this to Apple TV. But I’m willing to buy a 4k stick as a second screen

[@bugsnax4145]

Same here. Saves me having to buy another xbox for the bedroom

[@Stefan_Payne]

Gets even worse. Microsoft using Geforce NOW instead of their own X-Cloud Streaming...

[@calebmarking342]

I don't think it's a bad idea. For the people that don't have an Xbox but want to give gamepass a try, it opens the doors to a lot more people to try

[@asura48]

While I do agree Phil and the heads of Xbox backtracks a lot and give mixed messages but this isn't a big deal....cloud gaming is a niche thing and the whole all digital gaming future of cloud and mobile hasn't really been catching on....triple A games on mobile isn't selling well like console and PC but ya selling more consoles still helps Xbox sell software they should still try push that regardless of making other options available

[@joeg8391]

I wonder if the Fire tv streaming will be the same quality as streaming from the Xbox One. (assuming you have a good internet connection)

[@vicianvician9567]

People are missing the point of this - it has nothing to do with console sales - its all about getting more people on Gamepass - plus remember how dial up modems were - eventually cloud will be better.

[@superflyryno732]

There is no console war. I will keep buying an Xbox because I have a huge list of games that I bought. They are trying to reach out to PS and Nintendo fans and give them a cheap way to join Gamepass. They try the service and see how great it is and then tell their friends to join Gamepass as well. MS doesn't care where you play.

[@egrytznr8893]

RGT's thumbnail game is like it's purposely to irritate people who already know what he's referencing LoL

[@ThrillerALi]

@RGT 85 you’re bugging bro. Microsoft is giving consumers more options. They are a software company first. Hardware is second, like their Microsoft surface tablets. It is what it is.

[@IMDLEGEND]

I think it is great! Cloud gaming is underrated. When it works, it is magical. Best part is not having to fill up my limited SSD with games. For example, I uninstalled Starfield and only play that game on the cloud. It saves me so much space!

[@sethinneon]

Cloud gaming on every device has been an Xbox priority goal for the last several years. This isn't a surprise.

[@sethinneon]

With that being said, this will destroy game preservation if it goes mainstream. I'm not fond of cloud gaming personally, but again I'm not surprised by this either like it came out of nowhere.

[@paoloalcantara2813]

Xbox fails to understand that gamers are buying consoles for the memories and the connection it entails.

[@Peaceful_Zen_Life]

One upside to the Amazon fire stick for Xbox is that if you want to play your Xbox games on a vacation or when visiting friends or family; this will make it much easier to do.

[@pitching]

Even xbox knows the ecosystem is dead

[@RIELTURO]

Just bad management. They could've easily continued their backwards program. That's the main reason I bought an Xbox

[@CJP.-pq3kr]

@@RIELTURO for real. Backwards compatibility is the best thing they have going. They should be pushing it all the way. Especially when Sony struggles so hard with it

[@goonerOZZ]

​@@CJP.-pq3krbackwards compatibility is the dead of the ecosystem because combined with gamepass, noone is buying anything in XBox. They're doing lead loss in a waaaaaaay too big of a loss.

[@Tacitus_kilgore_1903]

What an insane cope...

[@greygoose6715]

Historically consoles are just loss leaders. It’s always been software. Xbox is always planning 5 yrs ahead. It’s what corporations do. I don’t think we will get another home console. Xbox will just become a service on every device. That way they can just resell you the skyrim for 8th time. 😮

[@michaeldietz2648]

In answer to a question, it’s simple. Microsoft is a software based company, Sony is more of an entertainment company, and Nintendo is just game company. Obviously Sony and Nintendo will know how to market their product better. (how do you not at your age? Why are you even making a video about this?)

[@richie1239]

If cloud gaming and no physical games become the only way to play, they need to lower the price way down. When push comes to shove technically your 'renting' the game. I've been a gamer for a long time now and it is sad to see it going this way.

[@VOAN]

I can see this decision being Microsoft's exit from the console war and Amazon's entrance to entering the console war. The next gen could very well be Sony PlayStation 6, Nintendo Switch 2, and Amazon Fire Box instead of Microsoft Xbox.

[@TheMcrico84]

Yes they have said this for a long time now, their main focuse is gp subs not console sales. Whats so hard to understand. This is not about what we want but to what makes them money

[@garrypeak4277]

So more options for how people play is a bad thing? That’ll do me. Desperately searching for a L.

[@balaam_7087]

When cloud takes over completely and they exert total control over content, that is a bad thing. You can ‘see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil’ all you want, but that’s desperately searching for a W.

[@FlamespeedyAMV]

@@balaam_7087 How they don't see it is beyond me

[@robertwendal5894]

I stream Xcloud all the time on my legion go, I get to drop the battery TDP and get many hours out of it. As long as no one starts downloading anything it's a perfectly acceptable way to play.

[@gens954]

At this rate you're going to be able to play Xbox games on RGT 85s KZbin channel

[@judgepajarillo22]

I’m actually scared for this one. Quality of games will get more lower this time when this happens.

[@amoinus8186]

I really don’t like cloud gaming when every month I get a message from my ISP that I’m close to my 1.2TB limit. Yes, I can get unlimited for $25 extra per month (I think). But I’d rather put that money towards the console and have higher quality gaming experience.
