I tried out both for myself, and here’s my thoughts on it. Graphics and resolution wise, the Xbox Series X wins by a long shot. The cloud gaming service seems to be 720p, and it can look fairly blurry, especially on tablets. If haptic feedback is important to you, cloud gaming doesn’t support that as well. Other than that, cloud gaming seems really good. At most times, I don’t notice any input lag, and the gameplay experience is still pretty great!
cloud gaming is limited to 1080p 60fps right now. it also appears to be using series s settings in games. i played halo on xcloud and the quality mode was 30fps and performance 60 which is how it is on the series s.
@@JudeTheRUclipsPoopersubscribe Quality mode also drops the frame rate down to 30 on the Series X as well, so it still is probably using Series X servers. It’s great to hear that they are supporting 1080p streams, it’s a really nice improvement.
@@imEzno well I tried it before the update which changed the graphical options. Now there are 30,60 and 120 options on both machines. But before the quality mode was 30fps on series S vs 60 on series X. And when I went into xcloud and changed it to quality it was only 30. Which basically told me that it is series S settings. I have no idea why they do this but its odd. Probably for cost savings or something.
I noticed games on xcloud like Guardians of the Galaxy don't have the Ray Tracing option. Is it running the Series S version of games using Series X cloud hardware or is it matching the version to the system? Some portions of the game looks amazing but you can tell by the options it's not the Series X version so perhaps smart delivery is turned off or modified to match your device.
i can confirm it is series s settings. halo also had this before an update changed things around. probably so they can have 2 xcloud sessions running from a single series x.

got a new sub:)
In my opinion, fps and graphics go to the Xbox, and my tablet doesn’t handle some games very well, but cloud gaming is great for portable play
Fun fact: Xcloud runs Xbox series x hardware!
The cloud looks more like the one X if owt
Thank you very much.. I need to buy a xbox X:)
