The underlying compute hardware (and instances) for xCloud. In other words, cloud XSXs for the streaming service.What is server blades?
Just tested out a bunch of games. Looks like everything is running on Series X as far as I can tell? All the games I've tried are using them (Yakuza, Destiny, Outriders, Sea of Thieves, Rainbow Six, Destiny 2).
Thirty7ven I booted up Stadia to try Destiny 2 because its free on there and they perform about the same. Stadia has a very small lead in terms of loading speed and latency (plus mouse and keyboard support which feels extremely responsive), but both are very very playable imo. Nothing like before with 30 fps and shit graphics on the One S blades.
Outriders runs well. Props for having deadzone customizability which helps a lot with responsiveness.
Rainbow Six has 120 fps option which feels very responsive, but the game in general is kinda clunky on controller.
Nope! Just boot up the service on the phone or on xbox.com/play and pick one. It appears on mobile under the Cloud section, games with the XSX logo will appear for the optimized titles now.Nice, Did you have to do anything special to get to the Series X server?
I don't know what this is honestly.
So this is faster cloud gaming on phones for all digital xbox games?
I see, thanks.Strictly cloud gaming.
It just means the cloud games running off these new servers will run at Series X settings.
NoAgain, will Crackdown 3 be good now?
I see, thanks.
Who is Xcloud available to? Gold members, GP Ultimate members? Or is it a separate thing?
Hey, you have to do something with all those unsold XBXs am i right?Just tested out a bunch of games. Looks like everything is running on Series X as far as I can tell? All the games I've tried are using them (Yakuza, Destiny, Outriders, Sea of Thieves, Rainbow Six, Destiny 2).

PC is 1080p, phone still might be 720pBut it's still limited to 720p resolution streaming though?
I just tried out my goto xcloud game right now, two point hospital, and I don't think it's Series X. The loading times feel like it's still One X and the 60 FPS option isn't there.Just tested out a bunch of games. Looks like everything is running on Series X as far as I can tell?

On mobile, there should be a logo of the series x under the "Cloud" section of games if its upgraded. Some people are saying games like MLB are upgraded but they don't show the logo so it's unclear what's what. It's possible Two Point isn't upgraded yet.I just tried out my goto xcloud game right now, two point hospital, and I don't think it's Series X.

Are there supposed to be Dark Alliance graphic options on Xbox? I thought that was a 60 fps only game, not some graphic vs performance option.I tried Dark Alliance on PC for about 15 minutes. Not sure what they upgraded because I did not see any graphic option. In that brief session I had two *minor hiccups. I will try my phone next time I am at work. No need to test it here since I will never be playing on my phone from home. I am starting to think game streaming is not for me.
You're probably right. I will look at other games just out of curiosity. The graphics options were not really the big deal. I was hoping XBSX blades would eliminate latency.Are there supposed to be Dark Alliance graphic options on Xbox? I thought that was a 60 fps only game, not some graphic vs performance option.
Those games don't have Series X versions.Playing from the UK, it looks like nothing changed in the local datacentres. There are no alternative graphics options in the two games I tried, Shadow of War and Dishonored 2.
Games upgraded so far:
So it's just the games that have got Series X|S optimization that have any benefit. Maybe that's how it'll stay. The Xbox One X enhanced games will probably stay as Xbox One S versions as there isn't any way to en/dis-able FPS Boost on the XCloud guide.
Unfortunately browser doesn't identify what's upgraded yet unlike mobile. And even mobile isn't perfectly categorized with icons yet it seems.You're probably right.

Huh, guess you're right they all are X|S optimized. Wouldn't make sense to not use One X enhanced games though since those are more likely to offer a 60 FPS option, no? It may just default to One S because these blades can run 4 One S instances but only one XSX instance.So it's just the games that have got Series X|S optimization that have any benefit.

I read Xbox and blades and got disappointed you weren’t talking about the 360 UI
It’s part of Microsoft‘s long term strategy of buying out Nintendo next Thursday.What is server blades?
