Deals for Days. Big home savings are happening now.
why no vibration with controller ∵
i wanted to get this see if it would run on 5g in a semi truck thank be awsome if it would work
I can't play with the lag.
I sure hope upcoming games don't allow xcloud players to play with anyone else except xcloud users. Or multiplayer games will be dead.
I agree with this video. Yet there are so many youtubers pumping xcloud like it's some great thing. It's just like all the crappy games they pump.
It's weird that everyone complains about the phone screen size. I just don't see that as a con at all. I can't be the only one. Playing on my phone instead of television (something I don't have or want) is a dream come true.
I just got xbox game pass app cuz I wanted to play fable 2 and gears of war 2 and 3 from xbox 360 , but I am having a problem that the app uses very little of my wi-fi bandwidth like 500-800 KB/s and its complaining that my internet is to slow when in fact I have 30+ MB available , I can stream netflix , youtube , twitch with no problem , those apps are using as much bandwidth as they need. It makes the games unplayable and any advice would help , my game pass ultimate is running out 🙁 and im not able to play what I bought the subscription in for in the 1st place 🙁
XCLOUD is in beta, and have not done severblads upgrade. Now Xcloud is on Xbox one hardware. SOON will get Xbox X upgrade and web browser option.. I play all cloud service
It runs ok but the game start up takes like for ever….
Stadia is way better. Better graphically, performance, and lag. RIP XCloud 💀
Stadia is Better ! finish
When will it be a full version.. I'm bored of the poor connection
I vote brute force lol
TCGS FTW!!!!!
I am going to get x cloud because it's cheap and I don't have and will ever have a console
Just spent 65$ to get a controller with bluetooth, and than the input lag showed up and i was like internal screaming
Too much lag while playng
Am playing it in Sweden and no lags notice so far ,there is some but like it never effect my over all experience
The more on that later just frustrated me. Why bring it up and then not declare the winner. It’s obvious you just wanna try to make people stay on longer.
Latency latency latency😫😫😫😫
I have stadia. It performs well but there isn't enough games for it. Less then 100 games as of Nov 13 2020
I haven't tried the beta im on the Xbox app playing my games I have downloaded but I loose connection frequently I've tried on two different galaxies and an i phone just wandering what my options are for better service if any
Can xcloud work on samsung s8?
maybe 5g will help? about the bluetooth issue maybe microsoft should add wifi to their controllers one day! plus hdmi output and everything, will be a xbox controller cast! 😀
My phone plays xcloud perfect. No lag. I'm halfway through gears 5. It plays flawlessly
I must hv to buy a xbox right? sorry if it sounds funny to you, not trying to be mickey mouse, I never own a game console
Game pass is necessary for xcloud ?
Microsoft is starting to compete in all gaming markets, nice
use 5g or 5ghz wifi I get no lag on a 180$ MetroPCS phone. 4glte works just fine for me
Sorry, but I'm not a Mobile Gaymer!!!!!;)
Latency depends upon your internet response time not the speed
I have XCLOUD, STADIA, and GeForce Streaming…
My internet connection is 107 download and I don't get any lag at all…
Reset your controller in game.
So I don't need any hardware correct? I no longer have an Xbox or internet at the house. I have decent LTE.
If they can reduce the lag it will be a console replacement. I haven’t bought a console since PS3 so I’d jump on this with my ROG 2 phone instead of buying a new console. Right now I’m enjoying the emulators on Android as a long time iPhone user.
Stadia is class
Oblivion isn't on there. Hard pass
Was this tested on a android 10 device or and older android version?
I notices everyone with older android versions have severe lag in the controller connection, which disapears if you connect it using an cable between controller and phone. Than I notice no lag while gaming.
