Xbox Game Streaming: Everything You Should Know About Xbox Cloud Gaming

Xbox Game Pass Ultimate users get a nice added feature called Xbox Cloud Gaming for free. Now that Xbox Game Pass is out, you can play a ton of the featured games on the go on your phone, tablet, computer, or even Xbox console. When deciding between Xbox Game Pass and Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, Xbox Cloud Gaming can be the deciding factor. Access to Xbox Game Streaming, formerly Project xCloud, has only a few little obstacles to go through.

The Xbox Game Pass Ultimate tier must be purchased, a reliable internet connection is required, and a compatible device must be used to play the games. If you satisfy all of these requirements, you may begin playing video games without a console from the Xbox Series X or Xbox Series S, or even an Xbox Wireless Controller.

Moreover, there are several reasons why you need to give Xbox Cloud Gaming a go rather than just downloading games to your console or investing in one of the top gaming PCs. For starters, saved data effortlessly transfers across platforms, so you can pick up where you left off when you start playing over the cloud switching over to someone else's console. It’s also great for Xbox game streaming. If Xbox Cloud Gaming is compatible with your game, it is instantly available, so you may pick it up where you left off on another device without losing any progress. Continue reading to learn all you need to know about Xbox Cloud Gaming, including its prerequisites as well as the advantages and features it may provide over a more conventional console experience.

Xbox Game Streaming: What You'll Need

Xbox Cloud Gaming requires an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate membership ($14.99/£10.99) and a device that supports Xbox Cloud Gaming. Mobile devices like the Samsung Galaxy S22 or iPhone 13 are among the supported platforms. It's also compatible with Microsoft's own Surface Go tablets and other tablets like the iPad and iPad Pro 12.9. The app for smartphones and tablets enables quick access to Xbox game streaming of compatible titles.

There is a somewhat limited list of supported gadgets posted on Xbox's website (opens in new tab). However, in general, you should be able to play games using Xbox Cloud Gaming if you have any current laptop, smartphone, or tablet running either iOS or Android. You may play Xbox game streaming on a PC using the desktop software or your preferred web browser, such as Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, or Firefox. Microsoft announced the arrival of Xbox Cloud Gaming for Meta Quest 2 and Meta Quest Pro at the Meta Connect 2022 event. Forza Horizon 5 doesn't allow you to instantly switch to VR mode, and you may connect your Xbox controller. This implies that Meta Quest may defeat PSVR 2 for a single, straightforward reason.

Having trouble using a portable device? You can play cloud-based games directly from your Xbox Series X|S console, so do not be concerned. However, you'd better download your chosen games as you'll be able to play them without being constrained by Xbox Cloud Gaming. On smartphones with touch displays, touch controls are available, but you may also utilise Bluetooth or USB-connected controllers, such as the Xbox Wireless Controller, Razer Kishi Mobile Game Controller, and even Sony's Dualshock 4. You'll need a 5GHz Wi-Fi connection and a minimum download speed of 20 Mbps to play even the most rudimentary cloud games. More reliable connections naturally mean less latency and fewer anomalies like screen tearing and the odd blank screen while Xbox game streaming

Left thumbstick click action isn't working

I love this controller, I prefer it more than my elite series controller, I've made sure to keep it safe and have never spilled any drink or food on it. Just as of today my left thumbs tick will no longer work, I can use it to walk in video games but if I try to click it to sprint it isn't working. I love this controller and don't want to have to replace it, is there any I could send it back to the company to be fixed? I would greatly appreciate it.

Art not as advertised.

Controller itself (standard version) works fine, no issues there.

I wish DreamController could successfully print the beautiful artwork they've designed.

First pass: on the front (picture #1), most of the window detail in the Hogwarts Castle silhouette was missing. (Compare the lower-left portion of the image, vs. the advertised art.) On the back (picture #2), the Ravenclaw crest is very noticeably titled off-center and distorted.

Second pass: the back is much improved, so kudos for that. The front (picture #3) is still missing all the same lower-left details, the alignment's slightly different and the color's slightly shifted to teal for some reason.

It's not bad, overall -- just doesn't live up to the advertised picture.

Love it

Have had the controller for about a month, it is the best controller I’ve ever had! Looks and feels great! Thanks again!

This product doesn't work properly it only had one side of the head set working, and the the controller is really cheap the battery dies really fast and has a very serious malfunction where the game isn't playable
