Very cool Xbox cloud gaming update

Starting in November, Xbox Cloud Gaming will allow you to stream the games you own even if they are not in game pass, which is currently the only way to stream games from the cloud on Xbox!

Microsoft’s “Project Lapland” is preparing Xbox Cloud Gaming servers to stream thousands of games. Testing will begin with Xbox Insiders in November!

Would be cool if this was extended to physical games you own too somehow!

Details:

Xbox Cloud Gaming will let you stream your own games in November

You’ll finally be able to stream games you own through Xbox Cloud Gaming.

t.co

Is cloud game streaming something you use or are interested in? Would love to know your views!

Sold my big noisy gaming pc & use GeForce now streaming on the ultimate tier via a MacBook Air. Honestly you would not know it’s a stream, it’s hard to believe really when using it.

As for the xcloud streaming, nowhere near as good, really blocky low bit rate stream & noticeable lag. that said this change if it happens is great news, they just need to make the quality of the core streaming product MUCH better.

Most people buy digital these days, large vocal minority online that buy discs & hate digital. Most people prefer the convenience & aren’t bothered. The same will happen with streaming (including the vocal minority).

It will remove the ever increasing upfront costs, that a lot of people increasingly can’t afford & replace it with a remote hardware rental timeshare model of pay as you go or unlimited time packages etc. accessed through an app on your smart tv.

The thing is though as mentioned in another comment, it’s the future, it’s not ready for mainstream use just yet. Needs work.
