Anyone tried it? It seems the only way to get Halo 5 played on PC but on Era the comments keep referring to it as notably worse than Stadia which sounds pretty damning

I think it matters a lot on whether the game is running on Series X hardware or not. I've tried Gears 5 and Forza Horizon 4 previously on One X cloud streaming and it wasn't too hot but recently I tried Dirt 5 running 1080p60 off Series X and not only did it load really quickly it was much improved in terms of latency and general graphical quality.
So maybe the biggest hurdle is getting all games onto the newest hardware?
I got the info wrong btw... It's still in beta, it's just open beta now for all game pass ultimate subscribers...

Forza 7 loading the same (in fact the save game sync took longer than the game load - the Forza games must have massive save files) - I did find myself exceeding track limits a little bit more and posted a 2:02:357 on the Catalunya circuit with the McLaren 720S - I think this is down to microadjustments on the controller not being quite as instant. It is still playable, but I don't think I'd be able to post my best laps times streaming.
It's on par with Stadia, just far better value for money - you can definitely get the flavour of the games if not the full taste and clearly it works better for some than others. I'd say the Series X blades have definitely boosted the experience up a notch.
I think I could remove Dragon Quest XI from the internal storage and stream that without noticing much difference, Red Dead Redemption II online took 20 seconds to load up to the title (took about a minute to get to the game proper, but not sure how long that usually takes) and that I haven't downloaded as it's nearly 90GB.
You can definitely see some colour banding in the dark areas and the edges aren't super sharp on RDR2 Online - but I could wonder around okay, given this isn't something I'm likely to want taking up space, streaming it.
But no, I still don't want streaming as my sole access to gaming.Last edited by MartyG; 29-06-2021, 12:49.

Good info Marty.
I don't use it enough to give a in depth analysis but basically as it's included in your subscription and you get 100s of games to play, with your game saves and progression ... For me that eclipses anything Stadia is doing.
Given this is still in beta it's pretty decent. I only hope they continue to improve it over time.

Hideo Kojima and Microsoft are closer than ever to a deal to publish the Metal Gear Solid creator's next game for Xbox.
After all the drama it sounds like the Xbox x Kojima deal still isn't even done and still doesn't have a game attached to it so whilst it's likely to happen it's also unlikely to fall anywhere within the first half of the new generation.

EDIT: Sorry, should have read the post above before posting.
Dark Souls 3 now runs at 60fps on Xbox Series X/S thanks to FPS Boost
"Digital Foundry : Dark Souls 3 has just received a new lease of life on Xbox Series consoles, thanks to the transformative powers of FPS Boost. The From Software classic now targets 60 frames per second on the new wave of Microsoft consoles, replacing the somewhat wobbly 30fps of the Xbox One rendition of the game. We had early access to the FPS Boosted rendition of the game and it certainly does the job, delivering nigh-on flawless performance on Xbox Series consoles."
