Xbox Project Xcloud

I got an invite over the weekend so had a quick play on my iPad Pro. Lag in Forza meant even more crashing than usual and there was quite a bit of stutter and sound break up. If I kept to 30 it was ok

Does anyone know of a work around to get this to work on an Apple TV? There's no Safari on it as far as I can see.

Is X-Cloud on iOS through the browswer only?

I just got the invite too.

Seems to be browser only

Looks like the servers are starting to be upgraded to Series X hardware and rolled out-

Nice - tried Dirt 5 and it does definitely load quicker. Still is a sucky game, but it's a start!

Forza horizon 4 still seems to be the Xbox One S version....unless I'm missing something. I tried Yakuza and that seemed to be Series X.

Looks like this is now available to everyone who has games pass ultimate.

Tried a few days ago, the delay is mega.. got 1gig fibre etc so don’t think its my end

Seems to work decent enough here on my 67MB/s Cuckoo FTTC line.

Everything I have tried is more than playable.

It didn't work well on my 1gig fibre through virgin superhub 4. It was on 5ghz network and playing on phone sat next to it. It would lag constantly. Stuck it in modem mode and got a new router it works perfectly.

Is this only via the browser on windows 10? For some reason I thought it was going to be a dedicated app or via the existing Xbox app.

It is for now, it will be integrated into the Xbox app later this year.

Great!

I haven't tried the browser version yet, but I expect the app will have better performance, no matter when it comes!

Tried this on my iPhone and laptop over that last couple of days. I’m quite impressed. Shame there isn’t a dedicated app yet but the browser version works well enough.

The main issue over noticed so far has been on Xbox 360 games. The delay in controller response is terrible. Xbox one games on the other hand work very well. There is a delay but not too bad.

Any news on a xcloud streaming stick? I would be very tempted if they sort out the controller lag. My kids are enjoying forza horizon via xcloud on their phones.
