Microsoft is rolling out new hardware to make cloud gaming better, local gaming better, and marketing, better.

In Norway you cant buy Xbox on the web you need to go to the local store to pre-order an Xbox series X. You can only buy S on the web. You need to show ID and pay part of the console in the local store. After this happen. It got easy to get an Xbox X. I love the XCloud, for me, it runs flawlessly.
You can literally go on komplett and order a series x right now tho…
Boarderlands 3 is laying like hell
Not going to lie… I spent far too long falling down the Destiny 2 rabbit hole last night playing in the browser. Definitely a very playable experience.
You are a bad lit bro
You can’t hide the fact that there is horrendous input lag with aiming no fine adjustments it’s clunky
@Michael Wenhold except there wasn’t really much input lag? I suspect people’s experience is very hit or miss depending on peering and distance to the datacenter
@Michael Wenhold you must have a garbage network
Still in BETA on my iPad and stil almost unplayable. Hope it will get better over the years.
Same for me. Pc isn’t great either. Android seems to be a lot more playable than it used to be. But it’s still not where it needs to be for anyone to consider this a viable option to game on without ever using a console.
@SMS 34 my thoughts and experience exactly
I’m shocked how well the streaming works
Does it work better than before?
@Parker Owens yeah it’s alot better now before it was unplayable for me.
What I’m happy with is I’ve been haven’t bought a console in 20 years (play on pc when I play) and I get access to console games. I now have a whole library of console games to play.
Agree with u it’s fantastic for people who don’t own a console or have trouble buying one. 👏
That’s great 👍
Xbox is on 🔥
Guess who’s playing dead army 4 from his surfacebook 2 w/ the basic gpu?
This guy!
Lag is not as bad as some make it out to be, but I have gig service and decent router.
I’m playing it right now too! I’m on the Canal where the Sniper shows up 😀 😀
This is turning into a pretty fun game
hate cloud gaming it sucks and connection is ass lmao.
glad i got a good dedicated graphics card
@smw freak Your either far from a server or your internet is poop.
@smw freak that sounds like a «you» problem.
@Dave Newman yep, it is a hit or miss like any service. Unfortunately I do experience the wonky side of the spectrum even tho Stadia, PS Now and Gefoece now works flawlessly.
Still have horrible input lag with the Xbox controller doing cloud shit I figured it was just for remote play but nope any shooter game you have zero fine aiming it’s like they set the deadzone to max
I’m an OLD SENIOR CITIZEN, Not Tech Savvy At All. So my Question is: Are Game Pass, Game Pass Ultimate, Xbox Live are all Gamming Subscription Services??? If they are, How do I Know Which Service To Purchase???
Xbox Live Gold is required to play multiplayer games on your xbox console.
Game Pass is basically Netflix but for games. There are two separate versions of this, for PC and Xbox consoles.
Game Pass Ultimate takes these three services(game pass for PC AND Console), adds cloud streaming, and shoves them together into one service that’s $15 a month.
@Sameed Chowdhury: Thank You Very Much, That was So Helpful. 👍😊
@Dwight Nishimura You also get other perks with Gamepass Ultimate — like including EA play (FIFA, madden, Star Wars games, etc) and right now Disney+ is included for a limited time with the release of Loki’s TV show
@Rusty: Thanks A Lot for the Information.
See now that’s great stuff, thanks Brad… Cool and calm delivery.
Got my series X today!!
Welcome to the Xbox community mate 👍👍👍👍👍😁
Good day 😊
Must be nice🙄
@Liberal Snowflakes late for what though not much in the way of exclusives
Welcome and gamepass is just pure awesomeness the money you’re going to save is shocking with all the games to play and ✈ Microsoft flight simulator ✈ in a couple of weeks
Microsoft should make their own version of the Razer Junglecats for IOS devices. Also an Xbox controller that can connect over WiFi(like the Stadia/Luna controllers do)that works for both Xcloud and XB remote play would also be a great accessory addition!
Even on Desktop with a wired controller and no connection issues I still find the delay too large, Vsync + Streaming just doesn’t work IMO, they need to find out how to remove Vsync without screen tearing on consoles to take away that huge input delay, unless of course the game can run at 120FPS, that would illeviate this issue a lot
Personally I’m going to be using Cloud Gaming on Desktop to just try games and see how they play and get the gist before actually downloading it on GamePass properly Locally
btw Cloud Gaming straight up isn’t supported on Firefox which is a shame, I have to open a seperate browser
Xbox cloud gaming just gives me more patience to wait on getting a Series X. It has been so cool just grabbing my iPhone with Backbone and having quick game loads. I have noticed most sessions require a solid 5-10 minutes to get everything to sync up. After that the cloud works beautifully.
in my experience with the cloud gaming, I have no issues with visuals or acoustics, however, the input lag makes some games unplayable. I’ve tried on my PC, my phone (iphone xr), and I sideloaded on to my Nvidia Shield. All 3 suffer from the same thing. First person shooters and sports games are unplayable, there are quite a few that are still usable. If they can get the latency figured out, it’ll be golden. In my experience with PS Now and Geforce Now, they both have a better input/reaction time.
Omg so when can we expect cloud to come to more countries already!!!!!
I have to agree with you Brad best way to play X cloud is on a laptop with edge browser and a Series X controller plugged in by USB
Keep going the good work👍🏾
Opera browser should be chromium based too
Currently playing Red Dead Online and Halo Reach on the cloud and loving it
Yesssir!!!!!!
What device are you playing on? Still having really bad latency issues
@Devin Mccoy Here too. High volume of users? Maybe we just don’t have the appropriate connection? The “Beta” in it’s name being shown?
All Halo games works flawlessly for me, most of them run at 60 fps with minors artefacts when there is lot going on on screen. Red dead online has no input lag whatsoever . Just that it’s capped at 30 fps. Which is terrible as I’m used to 60 fps PC games.
The dedicated app on Android for me performs worse than the xbox.com/play website. The new website is WAY better
Does this update is effective on the gamepass app?
Just got my third series x and second ps5. Super lucky bc idk how i did it lol. Switched from sony bc of gamepass. Convinced my brother to switch and he did….now his friends are switching too. Got two series x’s today from best buy (two different accounts) for two of his friends. Both consoles have all the same games (minus exclusives, duh). Just gonna use sony for their exclusives. We’re not into Returnal or Ratchet…..so the two exclusives sony already has is not really a draw for us. Miles Morales….we’ll wait till its like 15$ not a big deal. GamePass for the win!
Played holo 5 on mac, it does have some input lag, and doom has a bit more lag.
Almost there, I hope this upgrade improves things…. Can’t wait!
More lag if you use browser version
Is playing through the chrome browser better than the dedicated Android app? I have a high spec Chromebook with gigabit service and am considering subscribing to ultimate once Halo infinite launches.
My buddy gave me a 1 year Xbox Gold card about 1 month before Gold went away……what can I do with it now?
Works great on my 16inch Macbook via Safari with my spare Xbox Controller.
That otter box pack only comes with 1 main battery and 1 secondary battery so how do you hot swap with only 1 battery lmao
Looking these comments i might get then buy the seris s later
Was able to finally order a Series X last week. Should be able to pick up on Thursday
Thanks for the PC link to Cloud -💚💚❣
60 download 10 upload, iPhone X. Lag makes it unplayable.
I wonder why Forza Horizon 4 is still unplayble as it’s a Xbox series X optimized game
If you use the backbone or Kishi do you need to remove your phone from the protective case?
Yes, i think that counts for all phones.
Yes I have to with my kishi and pixel 3
It’s the end of june which means we’re deep into annoucement season.
Deep into yo mama
Who would give this video a thumb’s down? Why?
Can you play without a controller?
I’m in South Africa, There is a MS datacenter less than 20km (like 12 miles) away from me in Midrand. There is a huge gaming market here and we have fiber up to 1gb for cheap-ish, why don’t we get xcloud?
Being honest, the Xbox cloud gaming experience has been bad for me. Lag and input delay make most games unplayable. I have a solid connection on a 200 mb internet and I still can’t consistently play simple games like the messenger or cyber shadow, let alone halo. Hopefully they continue to improve. As of now, I can’t recommend it.
It runs good on my iPad Pro 1st generation with some lag here and there but on my iPhone 12 Pro it runs flawlessly! Played Arkham Knight on my phone without any lagging or hiccups! Runs like it does on my Xbox!
Might have to switch to a 12 pro then because im on an iphone se 2020 and it is honestly not that good . Low res , lagging only on first person shooters though, low framerate and overall doesnt seem to be a great experience . I mainly play first person shooters though so that might be why , ive seen alot of people commenting the same thing say for fps its not playable with the current latency and lag . But hopefully a 12 pro would change that .
@Jawn named Jon I haven’t tried any shooters yet. The most heavy graphics I’ve tried is Arkham Knight. I was streaming Halo 5 from my laptop and the lag was very minimum but it is a gaming 💻 so that shouldn’t be surprising.
I am pleasantly surprised how well the games run while streaming.
Seriously. Streaming an xbox as well, granted it is well connected to the internet.
Hi, Brad, and thanks for a fantastic channel.
Regarding game pass ultimate, have you heard any rumors if Microsoft is making this subscription available in more countries? I live in Iceland, and it is sadly not available here.
I kinda hope they let me limit to 720p so that I can use that if my internet is being flakey. That would be good.
Where dat bird at??? 🦜🦜🦜
Smart move by Xbox. They definitely have immensely more room to gain fans/praise over streaming, rather than simply having sold those Xbox hardwares to the public.
People who go out to buy an Xbox Series X are in-majority, already fans to begin with. Much better decision to invest them into Cloud instead.
What’s a PC? A box with tech inside
What’s an Xbox? A box with tech inside
What’s a PlayStation? A box with shit inside
Lol any day now they’re gonna hire people who do hot swaps on batteries at MLG matches.
Cool stuff. Such a simple thing not many people would think of creating. They can definitely fully eliminate the need for any sort of wires for your controllers through this. All you need is a standalone battery charger… And 2 batteries…
I played xcloud while being at a hotel and the ezperience was really good i thought i had a console,plyed gears and streets of rage very cool
Are you on android app or through browser?
@Rusty android app,im very happy with the extra perk from gamepass ultimate,why didnt i join earlier!!!!!!
Works good here too. Almost like Stadia. I’m in the Netherlands.
Why does Stadia perform so much better? What’s their secret sauce?
Somehow more data centers? Even ps now as of late seems more stable and runs almost perfectly with fighting games compare to xcloud. There seems to be some random hitching in my experience that really makes the experience not smooth at all. I guess Microsoft can improve it some more.
when will it allow me to download games to my android tablet?
Stadia might run better but stadia doesn’t have halo and gears so~
WE ARE STREAMING SOCIETY
I am so angry that its not available in Australia!!
It can be a hit or miss like any service. Unfortunately I do experience the wonky side of the spectrum even tho Stadia, PS Now and GeForce now works flawlessly.
Everybody loves this, but so many still HATE on Stadia and other cloud platforms. I don’t get it.
