Prepping for the future.

I am an Xbox

For those wondering, when you go to the website and choose to play the games you own, it actually shows ALL of their available games that have that option. It won't just show yours, even though you are signed in. If you click on one you own, it says "play, you own this". If you choose one you don't own, it offers you take you to the Xbox store and purchase it. There is a tab called PURCHASED, which makes it easier to see yours. This is what it looks like for me:

I am near Toronto with gig fiber internet and the streaming is unusable. If this is xboxs future count me out.

 

[Magic Carpet]

Elden Ring and Red Dead 2 still need to rebuy on PC.
Already rebought Cyberpunk and a few others.

They might be playable on the old Xbone X in my bedroom. I think.

 

[Darsxx82]

It's good news that there are so many major and recently released games supporting Xcloud in the first block of games. Square Enix and Ubisoft seem to be the most involved.
It makes me think that there will be a significant majority that will allow cloud gaming vs. those that don't.

Hopefully it will also help more games to be Playanywhere.

 

[FoxMcChief]

Very cool

 

[Kacho]

I was wondering when this would go live. Gonna check it out.

I am at work playing on their streaming service right now and it's working great. And the connection I have at work is only 600mb cable. I am only getting 476mb at the moment. It's a nice option to have when not at home in front of the TV using the actual console.

Your proximity to a data center probably matters as much, if not more, than your own connection speed.

Tied to Game Pass? Doesn’t seem to say.

Game Pass Ultimate.

If only the streaming latency wasn’t ass…

I've used it multiple times without issues over wireless. Just depends on where you are I think. I have fiber as well, regular old walmart router.

Game Pass Ultimate.

Another poor decision then. They need their streaming only tier ASAP.

Expensive and sub par compared to GeForce Now.

Streaming a game you already own... Why? Once again streaming is a solution to a problem that doesn't exist. Most games can be downloaded wholesale in a few minutes if you have good internet.

You're ignoring the people who are away from home & just want to have a quick game session to kill time.

jesus christ, the end times must be near because I think I'm in agreement with an O onQ123 post.

The day will come where we won’t need consoles. I see this as progressing the medium into that inevitable future. I’m pretty sure people were saying we didn’t need streaming video services or work from home options, but here we are.

I’d be happy to one day subscribe to PlayStation, Nintendo and Xbox services that let me play games through their services, without needing hardware. Maybe they have tiers of power (PS6, PS6 Pro, PS6 Elite, etc.), kind of like how nvidia does with their streaming. I don’t care to own anything anymore. I don’t replay games often enough, so owning is trivial.

 

[Bridges]

Literally only wanted this for Balatro on my phone (yes I know there's a native app now but I want my progress) so I'm hyped for this.

Feels good to finally be right huh?

I have Cyberpunk and Hogwarts unplayed. If it works I will absolutely be playing them over streaming. I am playing Dragon Age on GeForce Now at the moment. I didn’t notice BG3 on the list - that too.
