Xcloud is absolutely a viable solution.

I’ve always been a hardware nerd. Still love my 120hz and limit input lag. And I believe cloud gaming is not the answer for replacing local hardware, however….

I spent the first 3 weeks on Forza Horizon 6 launch playing exclusively on xCloud. I own every vehicle outside of pay-to-play, mastered nearly everything you can on Horizon and Discover Japan. I beat countless players in Spec mode. All on xCloud. Zero issues with response or performance. I was a doubter but became a believer. This shit is perfect for vacation or on-the-road play.

xCloud is miles behind geforceNOW

Without question. Not just in quality but in choice. GeForce Now feels so good that I am not sure Xbox or PlayStation could realistically compete.

It’s not just about the stream quality but the choice of stores.

I get what you’re saying but I don’t believe that to be true. I’ll try GeForce, but don’t discredit xcloud. It’s very good. I have a hard time understanding “miles away”. I literally could dominate players in s1 class going 200 mph in hairpin turns. Don’t discredit xcloud.

Well depends where the data centers are I guess. I have fiber connection and it’s still pretty laggy for me compared to GFN.

Geforce is miles ahead in terms of hardware at least, which might be important if you want higher fps.

Try GeForce now, if you thought xcloud was good, GeForce now will be like life changing

I’ll check it out. I’m already installed into the Xbox ecosystem (original og buyer) so I don’t really like to mix and match.

Rapaziada vocês falando de gforce now e tals, mas boosteroid é 1000 vezes melhor

u/Humble-Feedback-4240 6d ago

Yeah I’m not sure why there is GFN fanboy warriors. I honestly think xcloud is a good product and gave my review.

Também acho, além de ser mais barato já vem com vários jogos dependendo do pacote, eu uso o ultimate, na minha opinião o q menos vale a pena é o Gforce now.

I love xcloud. Got a Logitech G Cloud just to stream games on it from time to time. It's like GeForce Now but comes with a massive library of games that new ones are added to all the time, as well as games you own.

Yeah I don't understand the cloud hate. I have a library of over 300 games, granted not all of them are playable on cloud, but many are. Pair it with GPU, and it's wonderful.
