I think they named the app Xbox because at some point you will also be able to stream the games you paid for and not just the game catalog on gamepass.

[@shadow_archer_]

@@Kirby5588 that would be nice I agree as a long time Xbox fan

[@LuisPerez-5]

That would basically mean the end of physical media. And they would have to have massive servers to handle that many games. Highly doubt they would do that

I have Fire Stick 4K and admittedly an XBOX fan boy, so I was eager to see a video on this. Thanks!

[@KissofDeath63]

you will feel less latency at 60fps because the frametime has less latency (16.67ms) instead of 33.3 with 30fps. Same thing will apply with 120fps (8.3ms),the more the frames are,the less the latency will be,both locally and cloud.

I still have an Xbox One and don’t really see myself upgrading my console for a long time. This is the perfect solution for me as a casual-ish gamer. Thanks!

[@Namenslos6190]

The latency is actually always lower when choosing performance mode at 60FPS, 30FPS will always add some latency because it's half the FPS.

[@xirxes]

This right here, I'd like to see a 120hz option, even on displays that can't do it, just to bring the input latency down.

Xbox is doing their own thing. I started playing through XCloud about two years ago, and the service is getting better than ever. Playing a game without downloading or installing sound crazy, but once you try it you don't want to come back.

[@natemarco8318]

Choosing a game and playing right away is really innovative. It's like watching Netflix

[@mutcholokoW]

4:10 that's because when you choose performance mode the stream gets encoded in 60 fps, so frames will be served faster. Choosing 30 fps will have twice as much latency for each frame (33.3ms vs. 16.6ms). And because your internet connection is stable and high speed enough, that makes the input latency lower because there's no added jitter or anything like that from the extra frames being fed.

[@LatitudeSky]

This looks pretty cool. I don't own an Xbox or PS5 and can't justify the cost. But this is most of the experience for almost no cost and pairs nicely with my Gamepass PC account. This will let me game anywhere I can plug in the stick or just leave the PC turned off. I like it. On the other hand, cannot say I like the Firestick ethernet adapter. It tops out at 300mbps so pretty much any decent wifi signal is going to blow it out of the water. I have several of those adapters but gave up using them and now run all my Fire devices and Android TV boxes over wifi 6 with no issues.

[@Leopez02]

I remember when I read it from the News: Xbox gaming is is coming for the TV and like in Xbox's The Fire Stick Max trailer where unknown caller said you don't need to have an Xbox to play an Xbox games because you can play games on your TV what sounds so AWESOME this is a great move from Xbox and I would LOVE to try it out with games like Palworld even as to have Xbox Series S through which I can play Xbox games hope this works good and will be a succes for Xbox! 💚

[@str8poisintv131]

This is a horrible move for people like me who bought a console. It made Xbox consoles. Irrelevant in a sense.. I don't have a huge library on Xbox so half of the games that I would be playing on the console are already available on game pass. Therefore, the console is irrelevant $500 back to My bank account... It's good for gamers but Xbox is cannibalizing their home console market

[@Austinfdp]

@@str8poisintv131 xbox isnt useless. you cant play everything on cloud and limit is 60 fps while needing good wifi. pc or console can do ethernet way easier and have a better time right now than using the apps.

[@sanchezs7614]

When you mentioned that "Many people weren't into cloud gaming because we don't own the games etc" the real main reason is because the latency and feeling of the games is still wonky even with great Internet. So it makes the gaming experience unenjoyable

All this makes me really want is that clean Xbox interface on the Xbox Series with no Ads and just simple menus and another tab for the store. I like that at the top with an Xbox Logo for the Sidebar, main screen for the games. Still hate the current xbox interface.

[@aynrandom3004]

Lol, so many people are calling Xbox useless now, but this is basically their roadmap. Plus, they already confirmed they are making a new hardware.

[@hulkhogan12345]

Ahahahahahaha, how deluded can you be. Sonys been doing this for a while.. but yet.. Sony don't count these firesticks as consoles.. Xbox do, absolutely embarrassing

[@Vegan_Lifting]

Yes, and Samsung TVs since 2020 have the Xbox App. I have the Xbox app on my TV. You don't need the firestick. 🙂👍 And it runs great! Soon you'll be able to use the Xbox app on any TV and any device. Xbox Game Pass is the BEST!

Their roadmap is garbage and doomed. No one except Xbox fanboys cares about this shit, and even most of those won't care when there's no plastic box, the ecosystem is barely limping, and third parties keep pulling away from Xbox because Xbox is dead everywhere except the US and third place even here. Xbox diehards think the current support will continue, they aren't using their brains. The current support is the best its going to get, its only downhill from here. Good luck streaming your huge back catalog when MS execs have fired everyone they can, shifted investment exclusively to sure hit games as service, and they have nothing else left to boost numbers. They'll be asking why they are hosting and supporting so many games most of which aren't making them money or even being played by 99% of customers. It will become CoD, and a handful of mega hits only real quick on xcloud.

[@justanotherday5441]

I needed the upgrade on the stick anyway as the OG 4k stick had constant issues with storage management and was getting slow. I have been debating getting an Xbox for months now since I wanted to play away from my PC or handheld. This saved me a few hundred $$ for sure. Only problem is I have yet to get it to work lol.

So basically it's just a streaming option that allows you to play your games from somewhere else? Although, I'm not entirely clear on whether you can stream from your XBox or the just the cloud, and if it's both, it kind of makes sense if you could have your XBox setup at home in the office and then play it on nothing more than a stick device when you go to a friends' house. If that's not an available option then please correct me.
