I'm gonna go ahead and assume it's not for us Aussies :(
I dont know how many countries support insider program.


Try this.

I also found this
While xCloud launched late last year in 22 countries, xCloud is set to officially launch to the Australian public within the first half of 2021. In the interim, Australians can sign-up on Microsoft's website for a chance to check out the service in beta.Jun 24, 2021

Ah found the page they're referring to, no xcloud for me :(

Click on Xbox Game Pass, right column has tick or cross for xcloud. Damn. I'm getting gigabit fibre to the premise on friday so would have been a nice surprise to try.

I guess its only for insiders then. Try to apply for insider program. They are kinda doing testing now.

Found it. Hope this helps.

I'm an insider, have been since the program started. It works on my Android phone, but this is about the PC version.

You can use nvidia shield tv. Download the preview as an apk. If you dont have that, any streaming android box can work. This will be like an actual console.

Damn I returned my Shield TV Pro because of the shitty Plex server not being able to handle my library. I've got a Google Chromecast with Android TV, wonder if it would work well with that?

Pretty annoying that they give us xCloud on mobile preview, but not Win10 xCloud preview.

Try these steps. If its doesnt work, watch some YouTube guides, or reddit. I have a cheap android box tv. Only problem is Bluetooth connection is bad. So i cant enjoy the stream that much.

Yeah I don't think it would work too well with how bad even using the remote is with it haha. Thanks for the help anyway!

The Xbox Insider app on my PC has the announcement saying "New Xbox App external preview, New build includes Cloud Gaming and remote play", but just no option anywhere to actually do it for me even though the app updated today.

Try to get android box tv. A good one cost like 50$, but you can play stadia app or gforce now, plus xcloud. Much better than the tv actually.

I've got a Xiaomi Mi Box 3 or something around here somewhere too. Now that I've got a PC with a 3070 I'm considering buying a shield tv pro again for the nvidia streaming so that's probably the best option, can also sideload xcloud then.

I was playing on the one before. I played gears of war, until my x360 went crazy with drifting. X1 controller was good though. Try it and see if xiaomi mi box works for you. Gforcenow worked for me on that device.
 
The Razer Kishi looks like the best for a phone IMO. Samsung also make a great looking one.

it's a Razer, the right analog stick will probably catch fire within 2 month or so... for real, I never had a Razer product that was in any way reliable, hence I don't buy their products anymore. when my second DeathAdder broke within like 18 months the initial benefit of the doubt I gave razer that it was a one off issue was gone.
 
Ok, may try it later but can confirm the windows 10 browser support is so much better for me now. Playing The Ascent at work right now and it's awesome.

The Kishi is okay, just that. The buttons are a bit 'loose' so it doesn't feel that great to press but it's not bad. It's nice that it is just fits around your phone though.

I am waiting for a Backbone controller for android devices.
 
Does anyone recall any mentionings of the ability to play games that you own but that are not on Game Pass via Xbox Cloud Gaming? e.g. I have 360 games like The Darkness and Red Dead Redemption 1 that still require an Xbox to play. It would be nice one day if I could do away with another piece of hardware entirely and play these via PC.

I'm still waiting for the Moga XP7-X. It was supposed to be out more than 6 months ago, and since the announcement, nothing....
