My experience so far is good. No big issues. Managed to have fun with fortnite. Trying to explore other games for now, and see whether the streaming is good for them or bad.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

Too much lag.

 

[Topher]

It is ok. Would I want xcloud or streaming to be the way I play games on a regular basis?

This gif ends before he says all of not, this angers me.

Tried Fortnite. But it was a curiosity, not a serious proposition for play.

Could be different for those without fixed options.

I played some Yakuza Like a Dragon and Power Rangers Battle for the Grid. While Battle for the Grid was a bit laggy for me (I got used to it tho), Like a Dragon was really good and enjoyable. I need to test other games but I'm busy being a former-yakuza-turned-businessman.

Worked surprisingly better than I expected for 60 FPS games. Not gonna use it as my primary means any time soon, but it's in a pretty decent state.

I beat Celeste (sides A, B, C, chapter 9, everything). From there, anything will work for me. It just needs to get a image quality like GeForce Now with a bitrate of 75Mb/s.

Worked decently for me. Nothing to write home about though.

I use xcloud to play while I'm on the stationary bike. Works 90% of the time and it's great when everything is firing on all cylinders. Some days, it's a no go. Would be awesome if they could get it as stable as stadia.

I probably use Xbox remote play more overall. Was able to put a few hours into Elden Ring this weekend when I was out of state for my daughter's dance competition.

I use xcloud on my Series X to try games out and if I really like them, I download them to keep playing them. xcloud is so awesome for that without wasting my time to download to find out its shit or just don't like it.

Does Smartdelivery allow you to play the game after a portion is downloaded while it’s still downloading the rest?

Dragonquest and Yakuza work the best for me. I found a trick for input lag while playing on phone. If you have good signal, 4 or 5g, turn off wifi and play over cellular. The latency reduction is very noticeable, even if you have decent wifi.

I have mostly used remote play over xcloud, the most important thing I've found is make sure your phone is on the 5ghz band of whatever wifi you are on and not the 2.4 it makes a massive difference.

I'm not sure and never tried that way but with my wired ethernet connection, 90% of the time I don't get any lag issues. It's easier to boot up the game almost instantly with xcloud instead of waiting to download a portion, play and then still have to go and delete/cancel the download.
