Can You Use Xbox Cloud Gaming As Your ONLY platform? Does it WORK?

when using it on a xbox one for example it doesn’t work as well

but when im on my computer it works perfectly! but so far its best for “ single player gaming “ if playing halo infinite for example id rather play it on the xbox for less random lag moments

I just noticed I can use a DualSense to play Game Pass on my Samsung TV.

You can play FIFA 23 now!

I've been doing a lot of streaming over mobile here lately, I'm a PC gamer so I already can launch games via Steam Link and exposed ports in my router. Game Pass has been awesome, I get access to games I wouldn't normally buy or even try. Great service.

I play xcloud on my 516 ge chromebook in dev mode and its perfect. Cant wait for starfeild.

You still need to have the games downloaded on pc or console to be able to play the games :(

Works brilliant on the Rog ally 😜

I just subbed to GP ultimate and played BF1 through cloud gaming and I was kinda supprised about the decent quality. I did notice some loss in graphics sometimes on my series S, but it wasn't bad at all. I did lose connection to the server after about 2 and a half hours. But I don't know if that had anything to do with cloud gaming🤔🎮☁️

I’ve used it off and on since it came out. I like Xcloud… well that’s what they called it when it first came out and I still call it that to this day. Just re subscribed and also got a backbone iPhone controller coming in soon too. Tbh if cloud gaming (specifically Xcloud) gets better and better I would definitely only stream games, because I wouldn’t have to waste GBs of data to just download and update games. I don’t have to wait for downloads or updates either. It’s really great. Single player games have gotten really good on the cloud but Multiplayer competitive games are still a no go really and need major fixing… they lag often.

My bf was impressed when I laid back and pulled up Tunic on my S6 and joy cons in each hand 🤓

Thanks for the advice and info. Just moved to Las Vegas and don’t plan on getting a apartment as this stay is only for a few weeks and I want to keep playing ARK. So far it works perfect on my iPhone but not on my iPad. I will try my Labtop though

so with xbox cloud i can play the xbox game pass without having to buy an xbox?

really good review. Thanks for your clear and detailed feedback

I just used it on my phone and it's amazing that you can play anywhere. Of course nowhere close to ps5 or Xbox x. But very similar to switch. Very happy.

Some will say this is scripted

Xbox has Trannys all in your face now. They went full retard woke so I canceled they're service. Don't want political propaganda in my entertainment!

I miss stadia

Very helpful! I haven’t had my pc since my power supply needs to be replaced and I really wanna play some more AAA games!

I connect my Chromebook to my TV through HDMI play game pass I love the head game pass so last year I could get a PS5

What do you mean does it work baldy??????

If you've got the technical knowledge to optimize your home network for cloud gaming, it's definitely worth the money. Xcloud gives you a whole library of games worth playing, the resolution can be set as high as 1080p, even if it's unofficially supported in some cases. Remote play works better now than ever.

If I didn't want to, I wouldn't even have to power my TV on to game for months at a time. Hogwarts legacy on remote play? Solid 60fps 1080p stream straight to my phone. Wanna play the newest xcloud addition? Lemme jump in bed and hook my kishi up.

The shits incredible honestly

I do xlcloud and geforce now in the chromium web browser on linux. I love not having to worry about linux compatibility for my games anymore.

Well, I just left GFN until MS come on to them - but for now I am on Ultimate as I don't have a gaming PC and I don't want to buy one. I am on 1Gbps for now in Sheffield but I will be mobile soon with Starlink.. so this and GFN interests me. I also have a 65 inch Samsung TV from last year I think I am play it on. Not that it matters in the long run

Great review! I just recently found Xbox cloud gaming and it checked a lot of boxes for me. I have just had a Nintendo switch for a few years and haven’t had a physical Xbox for close to 10 years. I’m a big Bethesda fan and I was super sad about not being able to play starfield. Now I will be able to day 1! I primarily use it on my MacBook Air and Samsung TV. It runs ok on my computer and almost flawlessly on my TV.

dex we can

When my girl makes me mad I beta

I wish there were more videos about this

I tend to be mainly PC these days after finally getting a GPU upgrade, but have had a Series X since launch and love it. I often use Xbox Cloud Gaming on either PC or XSX to try out games, or just have more of a casual experience, in titles that I haven't got installed (either due to space or just simply wanting to try it before downloading). It's great for my use case, as well as others who use it even more. Overall performance and stability is night and day since xCloud launched in beta; and Clarity Boost when using Microsoft Edge browser sharpens the image quality quite nicely on PC.

My long winded post and I forgot to say that I could use Xbox Game Pass Ultimate as a primary source of gaming. If it was all I had available i could be satisfied for the most part. They need to work on the video chopping and freezing to skipping for sure. I could be happy with it even without a console like I use it now. Cloud gaming is the future hopefully.

Curious as to why you say you can't use your Stadia controllers for Xbox pass? Do you mean on console? The Stadia controllers work great wired with the Xbox Pass website and not the actual Windows app. Same now for bluetooth connection. I'm guessing you were talking bout console play. I don't have any Xbox console so I have no clue. I very much experience the tearing ad blotting screen on Xbox Pass cloud gaming. Far too much actually. Also on some days I get constant pauses because it says "controller disconnected" It lasts about 5 or so seconds and comes back quickly. Not sure why it only happens a various times and not other times. I use Game Pass with and also pay for GFN. Together they easily meet my gaming needs and then some. Right now I'm on GFN Ultimate. I needz that 4080 powah! I have actually been playing some on a older pc in another room with a 1080 monitor. I have been playing with GFN set to output 1440 and I am really amazed at how good it looks on that 1080 monitor at 1440 lol

Is there any way to use cloud gaming without a subscription. I want to use Razer Kishi On Android with cloud gaming but I don't want a subscription.

the great thing u don't have to own a game to play on xbox cloud. They sign u in an any game

I played on my mobile 5GHz and 300Mbps connection
Yet its not even available in my country feels wrong paying 15$ a month for it so as soo as the month ends i wont renew it for 15 more dollars , i need to use vpn (bcs not available in country) , far from servers , so slight delay and bad quality
Geforcenow is way better but i dont own games more than the free ones on steam and epic games , and thats the only 2 clouds i played on so far , but i still like xbox cloud and really wish that it will become available in my country any time soon and a close server for less delay would love to see that... It would be a dream come reality and id continue paying for this subscription , i dont have a pc , neither a console , just my phone...

I tried xcloud on my labtop at home and it was so laggy that the game was unplayable. Tried it on my xbox series s and was sort of laggy and screen tearing.

i've tried nvidia cloud and i had some trouble with the input lag but experienced none with the xbox cloud service , i tried some online fps such as battlefield and there was none or such little that you couldn't notice it

Just picked up the new Samsung 8k tv with the Xbox app a couple weeks ago. Picked up a Bluetooth Xbox controller the other day to try out the Xbox streaming service and I must say I’m very impressed. Input is extremely responsive. I notice no lag at all with that. The only thing that happens from time to time is the video compression gets a little blocky. But after a second it restores itself. Overall I am extremely impressed with the service and when I just wanna sit on the couch and game instead of in front of the computer it works nicely

I was looking to cloud game as I moving out and am planning to leave the PS5 with my brother as he uses it more than me
I was planning to cloud game on my desktop XBox Game Pass, PS Plus etc.

I did enjoy the video and I am a new subscriber what is the current status of this Xbox gaming any improvements since the video

It's all I got lol any browser I'm gaming

Played about 2 hours of Infinite today. Now lag, some frame stuttering, but other than that, perfectly playable.

Not gonna lie this game called cross fire this game is so fire man it’s like csgo but better and bette graphics and weapons

My Series X is at home, I’m tryna play my game Pass games off my iPhone 14 but it won’t let me. I have GP Ultimate but I can only play games off the web browser. Is there a way I can play my games thru the Xbox or Game Pass app?

Yes

I'm one of those people who has been completely out of the console/pc gaming scene for years... and yet, Xbox cloud gaming is reeling me back in, purely on the convenience aspect. I recently picked up an Xbox s/x controller and started playing COD mobile casually. At the time, that seemed like an inexpensive way to get back into it. But since I found out about cloud gaming using your phone, its been a total game changer (pun intended). One of the reasons I stopped purchasing consoles was because I didn't want to make the commitment to specific hardware. This new technology solves all those problems for me.

Talk Positive In The Comments

I used x cloud for 6 months straight as a avid gamer and I can say yes you can!!

Cloud gaming will not be successful yet as it not available in all regions. Some countries that has already XBOX GAME PASS access but doesn't have CLOUD . So all these will remain half cooked and NOT READY for mass market .

Yes, yes you can. It’s what I do. I play on my iPad Pro

great video ty! i'm very happy as i change to xbox serie s. playing No man's sky on the tablet with xcloud is a win on my list!
