so....

I'm from Australia and I know I won't have access to xcloud for probably years.
But, does anyone know if the local streaming from your own console to android is now in the latest update or coming? I don't see anything...

Similar to what is explained here:

It would be good if they released that to everyone regardless of your country.

So I have downloaded the game streaming (beta) app. Sign into my account and I only either have "learn more" or "sign out" Do I even have the right app installed?

Edit: Updating the app would help.

You need the Game Pass app, not the old streaming app used for the xCloud beta.

Surprisingly works ok on my works 2.4ghz router but I'm already back to GE Force until this comes to Windows. My phone isn't an XL so the screen is too small. Looking forward to the upgrade next year.

So tried yesterday Minecraft Dungeons (because no connected controller needed for this game). Well, it might be my Huawei P10 that is just to old for this or well.. germany like always is not a priority for MS, but the lag made it really more or less unplayable.

But well, expected this as I tried Diablo 3 over the steam box years ago. Was not really playable just like this.

Yeah, that's the same I get. Maybe you need to have the gamepass subscription active in your account? I know I don't have one and I see the same.
 
I have an active Gamepass ultimate sub...

Edit: Looks like it's not out in Australia til 2021, sorry.

You need to use this app
Or this one

I've honestly had better luck with the beta when it comes to cloud streaming. A lot of the times "play" won't be clickable in the normal app.

That's good to hear about xcloud!
But I really want to know about "console streaming"... from your console to your Android phone over wifi. There's literally no word or update on that anywhere.
