Eh, I don't like this. I want Switch ports and unique games, not streamed versions.
I guess whatever. It's not like I have to buy those games.I feel like we will be seeing it more tbh
streaming a "enhanced performance" or "enhanced graphics" version!
Ah, so it's a "demo" for you to check on the performance which is fair. Then there is a link to the eShop.
Interestingly you can choose between streaming a "enhanced performance" or "enhanced graphics" version!
Don't want to click anything as I want to play this timed demo (doesn't say how long) later on.
edit: Couldn't help myself. Clicked on the eShop link and it states the Demo length is 10 minutes, and you need to have played it for 5 minutes before you're able to purchase an Access Pass from the eShop.
How much does an Access Pass cost?
Ok, I gave it the 5 mins in Graphics mode, it runs great! I have 76mps internet and although there was a bit of stutter at the start, it smoothed out and runs fine imo, it did seem a bit washed out in the color, but I think I set the brightness too high, so it may've been me
I actually forgot I was streaming it, I own the PC version already and need to jump back into the DLC
Access Pass is unlimited and is £34.99, so not too bad compared to the other next-gen console versions
Thanks for the info!! I assume access pass is equivalent to buying the game?
Interesting...
I haven't ever played a streamed game but the impressions here sound promising and I will definitely give this a go.
I think their policy of not even letting you buy the game before you try it and confirm your connection is good enough is pretty cool.
Definitely.This is for sure Geforce now streaming service...
At up to 540p? Nah, I’ll take the cloud thank you very muchEh, I don't like this. I want Switch ports and unique games, not streamed versions.
I'm glad it's there for you. If cloud versions of games are fine for you, then good. They're just not what I want out of the system. Half the time I'm using the Switch, I either don't have internet or I'm using a mobile hotspot. Cloud versions of games wouldn't even be playable for me half the time.At up to 540p?

They can be hit or miss, we're not quite there for infrastructure for it, but Stadia and xCloud are really good for me, I played through all of Division 2 and Metro Exodus on Stadia just fine and played Destiny 2 on Stadia and xCloud perfectly and Ubisoft is adding Uplay+ to Stadia in November which is looking to be a bargain at the min (Watch Dogs Legion and AC Valhalla for £13 a month? I can do that and get them both finished within that month)
Yea I think thats great, Stadia and Xbox allowing that is fantastic as well
do you have a wired connection?Playing in performance mode and not noticing any input lag. Feels way better than Stadia and looks amazing on the small Switch screen.

I’m with you, I just hate we we get these crappy ports with terrible resolution just to say the game runs on the switch. Given the patch process and the lag in updates for switch parity with other consoles, cloud offers a great solution (assuming it’s available to you for sure)I'm glad it's there for you.

I don't want to imply that cloud versions shouldn't exist, but I'd rather them not be a primary focus either.

Well of course. It uses Geforce Now or something on the backend.wat. this looks like it runs better than on PS4 Pro. holy crap.
You forgot you were streaming it. Within 5 minutes.
Even the guy in Memento can remember something longer than that.

One time purchase.How do these cloud games work on Switch? Is it a one time purchase? Is there a recurrent fee?
