I’ve got a lowly Xbox One X (tbh with an SSD this could run easily on here)

My initial impressions after about an hour…

I am shocked it works firstly. I’m sure many people are bogging up the servers. It works and without a problem

It’s obviously only 30fps for some reason. There’s definitely a small delay… really small… in button presses. But I feel I’ve already accounted for that in just getting used to it.

It’s not an ideal way to play but it’s 100% playable if that’s the option you have

Graphics look nice. No idea what “settings” these are on.

What say you all?

It’s obviously only 30fps for some reason.

It's because they use xbox hardware in the data centre and your playing the xbox version. So you should get a 60fps stream if the game your playing is 60fps on the xsx and using whatever settings the xsx version uses.

Definitely feels 30. Although I’m no fps guru tbh.

I'd rather get a smack in the head with a pole than play something from a cloud server.

I’m having a good time myself lol

It’s fine to me.. I can control the space ship and blow shit up just fine via the cloud.. and it only cost me $6

 

[Flabagast]

Its the only option for me so I think I will try it.

Is there cross save with the regular Xbox and PC version ?

Old man yelling at the cloud.

I will try it on GeForce now at some point, I hope BG3 on Mac launches today, if not I read the Mac port of NMS is bonkers.

Are we sure Starfield will be on GeForce Now ?

Yes, all games on xCloud share your Xbox save.

My PC only manages 1080p30 on low settings so I'm pretty sure the XSX version in the cloud should look much better. Just going to try it right now. The only thing that will be worse is the UI - 4K on PC but 1080p on cloud.

Don't they have some agreement with Microsoft to have all Game Pass catalogue? On the Ultimate Tier you get streaming.

 

[Flabagast]

Is the xcloud version playable with mouse & keyboard ?

 

[T-Cake]

This is all a bit weird - how can you have an Xbox cloud game but no sound? Nothing is muted, the Windows drivers are all working properly and I can watch YouTube just fine.

 

[Mephisto40]

Is the xcloud version playable with mouse & keyboard ?

No

 

[Flabagast]

No

Ah shit, that makes it more complicated

Does it work with a DualSense ?

I'm guessing the dualsense will be supported as it works with all the other xcloud games

Xcloud is running an instance of the Series X version, you won't get PC-style customization.
