Xbox cloud gaming quality is the worst of any game streaming service. Garbage bitrate

You need a cheap entry point to gaming? Find a preowned series S. With a bit of looking you'll get one for under £150 in the UK.

MS desperately need to improve their cloud gaming tech.

 

[Lupin3]

Game... pass!

 

[bender]

Best deal in gaming.

 

[AJUMP23]

Pretty good deal.

Can you Stream college football?

 

[Three]

The hidden price is that you would have to pay $240 over the year to be able to continue to play any games.

 

[fudgybrownie]

Just buy an s and play natively on console. Still a pretty cheap option.

 

[Raven117]

Once they figure out how to get their cloud gaming working better, this would be a good deal for folks.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

selling out as we speak

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

It's amazing their pushing this while the cloud streaming is still in beta and the cloud GamePass doesn't even have all the GamePass games.
Even this offering doesn't have quality control. Not asking for much here . . . just have all the games, and no queueing from a beta cloud.

 

[Sintoid]

Such a green solution, streaming continuously audio and video data of a game that maybe you'll repeat hundred times instead of downloading the full game and play it every time you want

Fuck off game streaming

 

[Nydius]

I see you trying to pump up the metrics for this by tying the reviews to the standard Xbox Series controller reviews, Amazon. Very sneaky.

 

[Giallo Corsa]

Xbox cloud streaming's input lag is actually preeeettty darn good - it's the G'awful bitrate that kills it...
Tried it on my XSX on my4K TV....nope
Tried it on my 15inch laptop...it's somewhat acceptable but, still nope due to the visible macro blocking.

The only device I found it.to be acceptable was on my phone's 6.4inch screen.

Switching to XSX blades would have supposedly improved things but, that wasn't my experience at all unfortunately.

They still have a long way to go

 

[ManaByte]

Now DEI free.

 

[Pop]

Bitrate will be god awful on any 4K screen

Randos are about to get duped

 

[Boss Mog]

I wouldn't stream games even if the device was free.

 

[splattered]

Strangely enough if you look at the IGN article comments on FB there a bunch of people seemingly excited about this and say it's a great idea. Maybe it will sell a little after all? Not for me though.

Digital Foundry had a segment on the Xbox + Fire TV stick streaming on their DF Direct Weekly show.



DF are often Xbox shills but even they couldn't recommend that solution because of the poor image quality.

 

[onnextflix5]

They need to focus on consoles, not this shit, get a world class handheld out while ur at it.

 

[Leonidas]

Only $69 for the non max version.

 

[GHG]

Now DEI free.

Ah, considering who liked this post I can now see what the new social media and forum marketing narrative will be.

 

[ZehDon]

I guess this is what they decided on instead of doing their own cloud-based console.

 

[Yoboman]

Consoles dying and going third party used to be respectable

This slow withering death is just embarassing

 

[drotahorror]

controller loud as fuck

 

[Punished Miku]

Incredible deal. A controller is $50-60 alone.

Yeah they trash it pretty bad. Basically tell people to buy a Series S instead.

 

[SHA]

Now it does count, they already got 20 million users, can't wait to see the new figures.

Praise the sun, Padawan, you've already got the marching orders.

and yet, it seems to be the most popular way to play Xbox games, based just on the Xbox Reddit alone. I really don’t understand this new generation. A Series S is cheap enough to warrant picking one up if you want to play GamePass titles…

The PlayStation and the Switch are not dying...Xbox is.

 

[Dr. Wilkinson]

For what you get it's a really low price. Controllers alone are usually $50. Game Pass is $20. Fire sticks are... not free.

 

[Clear]

All this is going to achieve is to make the Series S look like a shitty deal.

 

[Skifi28]

One month of gamepass is nothing, this is the real cost. The deal should have come with 6 months for it to be attractive when compared to something like a used series S.

Am I the one who totally distrusts the quality of XBOX products?

Compared to who?

Everyone manufactures everything in China and outsources production to Foxconn. Apple, Nintendo, Sony included. Build qualities among console makers really doesn’t vary like it did 20+ years ago.

 

[Fake]

Gonna pass.

 

[SJRB]

Bro is literally posting an advertisement disguised as a thread, lmao

 

[MadchesterManc]

Seems alright for a new official controller & 4K Fire Stick, but the 1 month of included Ultimate only being for new subscribers gave me a chuckle.

 

[Bond007]

Easy pass.
Absolute trash
