Play Steam Games on Xbox Using Geforce Now

That might actually backfire on Microsoft as now people won't buy native Xbox games, and just buy them for PC/Steam instead and stream them through their Xbox.
As a PC gamer, I wish Microsoft would just put a Windows 10 mode on the Xbox Series X; that would be the only reason for me to buy a Series X, so I can use it as a cheap second gaming PC.

That's pretty cool; hopefully MS doesn't pull a Sony and get scared and not put a web browser out.
I have no plans on streaming games from a console but sometimes it's useful to pop on the web.

It'll more likely end the same way as the Retroarch on Xbox situation. Not enough people will actually use it for Microsoft to care.
Those users should just invest in the Nvidia Shield honestly.
I dont think thats what they want the Xbox platform to be, but i would support this also

Sony pulled out the browser app because most PS4 jailbreak exploits were based on the browser.

That's unlikely considering the browser is still in the machine, and the OS uses it in places and you can break out to the web and click links and shit.
If it was for security reasons, I doubt they would have been so sloppy.
The PlayStation 5 has a hidden Web browser; here’s how to find it

Correct, MS apps running in Sanbox anyway, so there is very little danger this way... It's like Android for example, outside communication it's just by "intents" and those can be filtered.

thinks Halo Infinite is a new graphical benchmark
Steam needs a big bounce back year on consoles like in 2011 with Portal 2.

Because the world is full of people who want to stream games on a box capable of playing them locally?

Most likely whenever MS will allow its existence.

on Xbox apps like these run in their own virtual machine. and the Xbox One systems haven't been jailbroken yet either despite having a browser.
one of the reasons it hasn't been is that there's no incentive from homebrew developers to do so. you can run homebrew on your Xbox without any jailbreak.

who the fuck would do that? that would be the biggest waste of money ever as cheap Android boxes can run Geforce Now just fine

Sony ain't that worried about it, the PS5 actually has a fully functional internet browser, i use it every day
Xbox + PS Now + Steam + Retroarch + Stadia + Luna = Best console ever??

Why? You would prefer Shield native games over Xbox native games?
I own a Shield TV Pro. It's worse compared to Xbox, the GeForce now stuff is limited to begin with, and even if you get around it with other streaming apps there's latency or input lag when dealing with their controller. Emulators have lag too.
Talking about users whom want to use geforce now. The Geforce Now ux is alot better than trying to stream it via the xbox edge app.
Is it a 100 quid better an experience? Depends on your usage of GeForce Now and how much value you put in the AI upscaling in GeForce now.

Kinda neat.
I'm always amazed reading Tom Warren articles or tweets for that matter.. he rarely writes anything w/o showing his ass on not really understanding tech or the business of what he reports on lol

That reaaalllyy depends on your internet and tier of usage. Im on Fiber. Geforce Now feels local.
As for lag... what do you expect from a 2019 machine?

Played a few minutes of Shadow of the Tomb Raider on my XSX with GeForce Now. It wasn't horrible. I'm on a free account so it is 720p and looks as bad on a 4K monitor as you think it would But the input latency was surprisingly low. It felt like I was playing the game on an old laptop connected to my monitor. The disappointing thing was that GN only gives you options to connect to your Steam and Epic game library. It would have been nice to see GOG there as well.
