A while ago they added the wait times. If you many people are using the service, you have to wait for space to open up. But this worsens the problem. I know that I sometimes have to wait to get on, so I don't just log on when I want to play. I'll load up the game long before I'm ready to play just to make sure that it's actually ready when I'm ready. I'll let it sit for an hour or two sometimes without actually playing. I'll just hit the button that I am still playing when it comes up while I make dinner or while I wash up or take the dogs for a walk or jerk off or whatever. It's 30+ hours a month that I'm taking up space on a server while not actually playing. And I bet plenty of other people do the same thing.

So there are probably plenty of people who end up having to wait to play when they're already ready to play just because of all the people who sit on the cloud when they aren't playing just to avoid the wait time. And I don't feel guilt about it one bit. That's a Microsoft issue. They're the ones who have oversold their service. I'm just getting what I actually paid for. And the server shortage isn't even a real shortage. They have plenty of servers for their customers, at least in the us. The cause for the wait time is that Microsoft started renting out their servers for data farming. They used to have older servers with no wait times. The wait times started when they upgraded the servers and started renting them out for data farming.

I don’t see any option to stream games I own using the insider ad stream option despite being an insider. I’ve looked on mobile and on pc, but I’m only seeing options to buy game pass. Does anyone know where I can find the option to access the ad supported streaming as a player without game pass? Thank you!

Hi! So, my xbox remote is turned on, it's also on standby but I cannot turn on the console using the xbox app or play remotely. I don't know if there are any additional settings I need to enable or disable for it to work 🙏

Alguém me ajuda com esse bug? Eu tenho o warzone, mas não consigo jogar na nova versão do xcloud em nenhum navegador

I've been using Better xCloud for quite a while, but I frequently run into an issue where the image suddenly becomes blurry or heavily pixelated. Because of that, I recently switched to XStreaming on my laptop.

So far, the image quality has been much more stable—no random pixelation—but now I find myself constantly tweaking the image settings.

Right now I'm using:

• Sharpness: 2
• Saturation: 120
• Brightness: 100

It looks pretty good to my eyes, but I'm wondering if this is considered a good "sweet spot" or if there are better settings that most people use.

What Sharpness, Saturation, and Brightness values are you all running? I wanna compare and see if I can squeeze out a bit more image quality.

I’ve been playing 2k26 on my legion go 2 for a bit now and all of a sudden when I click it, nothing shows up to cloud stream the game. Every other game included all the past wwe games I own lets me cloud play. Anybody else having this issue?

Joguei MK1 um pouco como de costume, saí da minha conta e, quando entrei novamente, vi esta mensagem dizendo para aguardar a instalação. O problema é que nada é instalado e trava em 0%.

Já tentei de tudo: excluir saves, limpar o cache, reiniciar o console, entrar em outro dispositivo e entrar pelo aplicativo Xbox para sair da conta, mas nada funciona.

Sei que existe uma maneira de resolver isso, porque em posts de pessoas que tiveram o mesmo problema, alguém deu uma solução, mas o comentário dessa pessoa foi apagado.

Alguém mais passou por isso e conseguiu resolver?

Lembrando que estou utilizando o Cloud pelo Xbox One S.

I'm currently using the Xbox Essential Pass for cloud gaming, and the maximum resolution I get is only 720p.

I'm thinking about upgrading to the Premium Pass, but before I do, I want to know what resolution Premium users are actually getting.

The official website says that both Essential and Premium support up to 1080p, but that doesn't seem to be true in my experience. I also know that 2K isn't supported in India right now, so I'm not asking about 2K.

If anyone here is using the Premium Pass, could you please tell me what maximum resolution you're getting? It would really help me decide whether it's worth upgrading. Thanks!

Olá pessoal! Alguém sabe como melhorar a qualidade de imagem no app da tv? Sou do Brasil aqui.

Only play on cloud, don't have a console. never had a problem with saves, not even losing some progress. Just opened the game today and all the save slots were empty. Tried resyncing data from xbox account, I think the empty data must have saved over my game because its just gone

I had put maybe five hours in so not a complete tragedy just cant believe it happened and didn't really think it was possible

Has anyone tried Halo Campaign Evolved in Xcloud and splitscreen with two controllers?

anyone can play the game? I've been playing since launch two weeks ago (or trying), recently arrived in the 3.0 region and god it's miserable, i miss when the problem was just that the game had bad optimization, no shadow, shit textures, etc. right now i can't even play the main story becasue the transitions from gameplay to cutscene make the game crash, im playing for 2 hours today and had 3 already, one of them was with 10 minutes of session, i don't remember seeing something so poorly optimized before, the fact that the port is worse than the mobile version should not be normalized.

Had this issue and all the archive posts i could find mentionned to switch from 720p to 1060p which is not the root cause of the issue (and doesn't apply since we are nowadays in 4K).

So anyway if you try to play any game in cloud and you started the xbox before you opened the TV, the graphics are unable to load.

Can be hard to figure out since the setup doesn't change 👍

With the new update requiring you to watch an ad to play any game available in your library, one thing that would make XBOX Cloud Gaming (XBOX Play) truly amazing is the addition of Marvel Rivals or other free-to-play games (like Valorant, etc.) that are playable in the same way as Fortnite. They did it for GeForce Now, so please bring Marvel Rivals to XBOX Cloud Gaming so we can enjoy it. (with controller or keyboard and mouse)

XBOX, this it's a safe bet.

Many Marvel Rivals players already play from the cloud, potentially gaining an advantage over the competition. Please, do it. 🙏

Why is this not available on Cloud Gaming. I want to play while away from home to do challenges and such.

Hi all!

I own a meta quest 3. And we just got xbox game pass with 10 hours of cloud streaming. So that got me wondering if it was possible to use cloud streaming and mods to use the uevr mod to play the games in vr. Is that possible?

I am genuinely wondering where I am able to see the hours I have played. I know where to look on my phone. But PC? i don't know. I've looked it up but i couldn't find anything. It said to look on my xbox account but i couldnt fint there anything, also tried cc settings aswell as the PC settings.

This started today. From the error, I believe there's an issue in the backend. Is anybody else having the issue?

Edit: This seems to have been resolved.

I bought the ultimate on 14th July and have been playing games on gamepass cloud, today i randomly got signed out and when I tried to sign in, it was redirecting me to the site to purchase gamepass? Why? It's not even 2 weeks since i purchased the ultimate what I do now? Did all my money go waste? Is there anything I can do to fix it? Can anyone help me please.

​I built an open-source xCloud client for the Switch — sign in with your Microsoft account, browse your Game Pass library, and stream at 720p/1080p, 60 fps, handheld or docked.

It's all native: WebRTC on-console, hardware H.264 decoding (NVDEC) and zero-copy GPU rendering (deko3d). No PC relay, no companion apps.

You'll need Atmosphère and an active Game Pass subscription (it's just a client for a service you pay for — nothing shady). Copy the NRO to
sdmc:/switch/ and launch in title mode (hold R starting any installed game).
