XSX server blades ..

PC 2GB ram ,Great internet connection win 10

good deal.

overall pc gaming is cheap (comparing to RTX 3090 $$$$$ rigs..)

RIP Sony, your lack of innovation is killing you. Good luck copying GamePass phony’s.

Streaming lol

Microsoft ads on SW.

I tried it last night. Wouldn't play stuff like Forza on the cloud, But spent an hour playing DQ11 on my iPad and work just fine, picked up my save as well.

Amusing that at 1:27 they show someone using a Dual Shock to play.

More greatness from xbox the best console,best studios,new graphics king and E3 winners for the last 5 years.

Home of the biggest console exclusives!

Broke lemmings getting excited about cloud gaming lol.

How about new games? When is Halo coming out?

@gym_lion: Any Bluetooth controller works…from any generation. It’s not a ps5 we’re talking about….😎

Not a fan of cloud gaming at all. Why no mention of Android?

It's been available on Android for a while now. I agree cloud gaming will never be great for certain types of games but turn based stuff and strategy games are great. I just had half an hour on Like A Dragon using my iPad and xbox controller.

MS, you just gotta stop. I've been feeling moaar guilty than ever that I'm ripping you off bigly with GP and now you go adding this for free. I'm ready to turn mahself in for grand theft gaming. lol

For the gamers... Jazz. :P

RIP Xbox consoles. LOL!

I don't like game streaming for a reason and Xbox Cloud Gaming does nothing for me nor will I support it!

Love these ideas... Hoping streaming is consistent. I wanna play my games anywhere!

Anyone else try it yet? I’m… underwhelmed. I don’t think it’s any better than Stadia. Performance wise, it might even be worse. I’ll try out more games in the next few days. But so far, this ain’t it

Works fine for me. Was just trying SoR4 on my iPad and you wouldn't have known it was streaming. Never tried Stadia though so can't compare to that.

lol :P

@mesome713: "RIP Sony, your lack of innovation is killing you. Good luck copying GamePass phony’s"

Actually, Ms copied PS Now.

Somebody needs to post a video testing the lag and all. I am curious to see how bad it is.

@wonderwinner: Forgot all about PS Now, what a joke that service was.

You have Nintendo Switch for that. Streaming games everywhere is killing handheld games!

@mesome713: you probably never used it lol and MS copied Sony, period. 😎

So is it available on Series X? Or is the virtual machine running Series X builds?

@davillain-: what is handheld gaming? Isn't it simply gaming on the go? Wouldn't it be great if we could do that without latency or performance hiccups?

I love that switch is a "dedicated" handheld device with offline gaming and traditional controls, but I still want them to develop a way that I can play games on the go with my Ps or xbx!

Handheld is a lifestyle choice baby!

Was pretty cool, tested it up on top of a mountain while in the Poconos, granted a cell tower was in close proximity but was able to play a few online races, was on top of the world!

@hardwenzen
ask for your ISP,

i tested it,very smooth: (1Gb/s optic,downloading around 800Mb-1.35Gb/s)

Lol, I am most certainly not going to pay for "Ultimate" to stream games. As it is I'm on the fence about the base price. But - if you've got an Xbox console it's a no brainer given the XBL factor in the mix

Cool. Not really into streaming games myself, definitely prefer to have the dedicated hardware and games running natively but it’s kind of nice to at least have it as an option. Might give it a try sometime just to check it out.

Xbox cloud gaming has been going on for the last 5 years or so. Xbox cloud sync needs to be improved though. I have a series X and a series S at home, and play a game called subnautica on whichever is available. When I try to load my last save point, it doesn't always sync up properly if I played it on the other console. It could be the game itself is the issue, theres no denying that the game is a hot buggy mess. But maybe the implementation of xbox cloud could have been better done by MS? I have do some voodo stuff to get it working, d/c my internet, turn off the console, pull out the plug and put it back in then pray for the best. Its incredibly frustrating at times.

I get that it's the future and inevitable but for me personally I don't care, at least until the technology can deliver more than the native hardware does. As in when I can have a 3090 level performance on my Series X.

I also don't care much for gaming on the go so yeah, whatever. But more options is always good.

Oh really. 😈

BTW,bear in mind that you can also use XBOX 360 pad to play..

On a serious note I'm happy for lemmings who can't afford a gaming PC or an XSX to game natively. Now they can stream Xbox games on their phones.

But you couldn't afford a PC until you got your stimulus. At least you have options in the future. 😂

My Rankings

Buying Digital Game > Buying Physical Game > Yawning > GamePass > Taking a Dump > X-Cloud

I'm also a huge netflix guy but gaming is a completely different meta medium

@Pedro: I still don't trust cloud gaming...yet. Too many shady companies will just screw it up. I do however like what Nvidia is doing with GeForce Now. I'll always love handhelds but even I know its slowly dying😥

Cloud gaming at the moment doesn't impact "ownership" of games nor the playing of games locally. It is just an option. But, I understand your concern. It is a valid concern because these companies are doing what is in their best interest. We have to also do what is in our best interest. 😊

Maybe my 7 year old laptop can finally run it

This is a real game changer. I know System Wars is filled with gamers who will scoff at streaming, I myself prefer not using it. I don't even like to buy games digitally.

But from a business perspective its genius.

What is the biggest barrier to get people playing games and the #1 reason is cost. Especially when talking about gaming on PC. I myself have a great PC because I'm an adult with a well paying job. That was not the case when i was 16. The struggle was real to keep my PC above average.

How many people in this world cant drop $500-$600 bucks on a series x or ps5? How many people in this world cant drop $1000+ on a decent gaming PC?

I remember when Xcloud first released on Android and when i saw the next step was bringing game pass to potato PC's... that caught my ear. This is something that could explode the industry to an even bigger market and the market is already huge.

There are more phones, tablets, and Potato PC's in this world than PS5's Series X'x or RTX graphics cards.

It's not even close.

We all know MS is turning its business model to focus more on game pass.

Funny too is that you have gamers scoffing at people like myself who still prefer physical to digital.

As the internet gets better and streaming becomes more and more common. The streamers will be making fun of the players downloading and buying hard drives for their games.

I prefer physical, but the writing is on the wall. TBH i don't find any benefit to digital over streaming once the internet can handle streaming with ease. Physical will always be superior to both.

But yeah, Microsoft is going to eat Sony's lunch, Sony is working on a new machine gun bragging about it while MS is in the back figuring out how to split the atom.

I'd argue the people who only buy 1 console and champion it like the 2nd coming while wasting their time trolling competitors are likely the broke lemmings ;)

Tried streaming on PC using Yakuza Zero and worked great. Other than a minor hitch in the beginning, it ran very smooth.. Definitely would prefer native play but this seems to be a viable option..

And this was out of town on hotel WiFi, I'd imagine it's going to be even better on my home network..

@omegamaster: no issue on streaming

Cool, why not.

This is great for Gamepass in particular, because you can try games out before you download them, saving you time if you don't like it.

It's still a beta service they're constantly improving. Hasn't got force feedback yet on Windows 10 browser use.

Phil, Phil, he the man, he can do it all for the fans. :P

Just another one of those nice on paper type things but not really something most people really care about.
