Xbox cloud gaming

Anyone tried this, thinking it be nice to be able to play some decent games on the iPad when I’m in hotels or the office away from home.

I guess the the main concern is lag on a normal internet connection.

Yes, I have a spare controller linked to my iPad Air and use remote/cloud gaming when I'm away with work or on holiday.

There are 2 ways to do it, actual cloud gaming from the gamepass library and remote connection to your own console, which works for games that are not on Gamepass and/or are not cloud enabled, as well as doing things like MS rewards.

It can be laggy and you need a good connection, but does work to a fashion…

For remote access you use the Xbox app and effectively play on your own console but remotely.

For cloud gaming follow this guide and it creates an app type shortcut to use >>> https://www.pocket-lint.com/how-to-run-xbox-cloud-gaming-ios-iphone-ipad-game-pass/

Figured I’d update this and say I am pretty impressed with the service especially since it’s only £13 a month

So far I’ve been playing BF1 and Starfield on the iPad and apart from some laggy visuals when the internets not been great it’s been decent so far.

I can definitely see this being the future once they nail it, no need for any hardware just play straight in the browser on any device.

Clever isn’t it
