I didn't do anything special to get it working, just what you saw in the video. I've got fibre broadband and a wifi 6 router. I just installed it, signed in, and away I went.
I’m not an anti technology guy, quite the opposite really. But as someone who’s gamed since the 90’s, I have to admit, the more advanced gaming gets, the more it seems to lose its charm. When I was younger gaming brought my friends together. Now it seems to isolate people more and more. Idk, I’m probably just being cynical, but that’s my perspective.
I can use my xbox controller to get to the start screen of far cry 6 in vr xbox gaming cloud but it will never get it past that level no matter what buttons i press on anything and I don't know why
That’s the issue with this they have designed this around the sweet spot without thinking people have different eye positions it’s rather annoying when something at £250 becomes something only being use now and again I revived mind for Christmas and I’m definitely going to send it back as it’s not fit for purpose thanks for the reply
You can change the position of the lenses using the scroll wheel underneath your change the IPD. Does that help at all? You could also try adjusting the facial interface to either closer or further away from your face in case that helps.
What is the setting to where my controller actually works? I don’t know if you’ve encountered this problem, but when I connect my Xbox controller, it works more like an oculus controller and it just lets me click things with my buttons and I have to basically direct by moving my head a cursor in the middle of my screen to click things and it doesn’t work like an actual controller. It works more like an oculus controller.
Awesome, thanks for the overview of using VR ( meta quest 3 ) and the Xbox. Is there a setting to allow the hearing impaired to participate, ie closed caption?
Meta have updated the description of the app in the meta store. At the very top it now says “**For the best experience please update your headset to the most recent OS. If any controller connectivity issues occur please restart your headset.**” so I expect it’s an issue for enough people for them to add that on. Hopefully those steps fix it for you.
I appreciate your videos btw ,im not atall tech savvy,is there any chance you can help me understand this ,im a long time flight simmer,ive always just played in 2d,the thought of playing in vr was mind blowing and having watched videos on how amazing it was i went out and bought a vr headset but couldnt get ot going ,my pc is t up to it so the news of the cloud gaming having the ms2020 i was delighted,alas its just the same as having a bigger screen and its not atall in vr , am i doing something wrong or is ot just impossible? Your expertise in this query is very much appreciated.
You can play MSFS in VR, but you need to be connected to a PC as the PC version of the game is VR capable. Sounds like your PC needs to upgrade to do that though. The XBox version of the game does not have the VR option as you can’t play VR games on an XBox, and XBox Cloud Gaming is just making the XBox versions of games available. Hope that all makes sense.
Did you try the PC Gamepass on your PC? Usually comes with Xbox Gamepass Ultimate. I never tried it cause my PC is over ten years old. With they would just make Xbox VR compatible. Should be powerful enough and is close to a PC and hey it’s Microsoft so they should be able to do that.
Is there anyway to play the games that you have purchased but aren't on ultimate?? ie stream from your console to your quest 3 many thanks for the information in this video very helpful
This streams games from Xbox cloud gaming to your headset. It doesn’t use your console. You don’t even need an Xbox in order to do this, just a game pass subscription. So no, you can’t play games on your own Xbox and stream it to your headset.
Absolutely sickening that you buy a VR headset for immersion,yet you play in pancake mode , why oh why can't you play Microsoft flight simulator in true virtual reality,I've tried and tried but it's simply not possible, you need a high end pc ,the whole point of virtual reality is just that , virtual reality..buying a VR headset to play games in 2d is a gigantic cop out
Any tips on getting voice chat to work? In game I can see that folks are talking but can’t hear them I also can’t transmit any voice chat either. Any help would be appreciated.
Even though my wifi is super fast, the controller input delay makes it very difficult to play online FIFA 23 games. Even the slightest delay affect the gameplay a lot. Meta-MS need to improve the input delay. I wish there was a way to stream from xbox to quest 3 using usb c cable. That would have been lightning fast and helpful for online play.
Your internet connection plays a bigger part in latency than your local wifi, and also the latency to whichever gaming server you’re connected to. FIFA was playable for me, but you do notice a slight delay. I didn’t find it unplayable though.
The fps is not that good for running a high quality game so and I had some bad experience with it so I personally prefer to just have good fps on your quest
It's so bad that they didn't actually let us play these in VR, rather than forcing us into a 2D screen. If I purchase a VR headset I want the full 3 dimensional vr experience. It's also garbage that the only way to do this is to own a PC currently for some of the bigger titles like fallout or Skyrim. Absolutely disgusting practice from the gaming industry right now.
Can these BT controllers be used to provide flight yoke within MSFS2020 and ptt for vatsim? Wanting to use game controller in LH and RH quest controller to work cockpit switches. Really looking for a BT Hotas joystick and rudder pedals.
In places where you don’t have a tv, or your Xbox, this still allows you to play XBox games, on a massive screen, wherever you are. The versatility that that offers is pretty cool.
When I open the app and pair my controller, after I get the controller paired it says I still don’t have a controller paired, I have the newest Xbox controller and a quest 2
you say MORE THAN PLAYABLE and you know thats bullsht. it fkn sucks. it could be amazing but they charge $20 a month and dont allow you to use your meta quest mic for in game chat? you go try playing HELL LET LOOSE and listen to ppl bish but you cant talk back unluss you put your bulky controller headset on over your vr headset......its just stupid and makes the lag not worth it
I honestly thought it was ok. I wouldn’t play competitive esports on it but for casual gameplay I thought it was fine. The app is in Beta release too so I expect it to get better as time goes on as well.
That’s ok if you can keep the dam thing on long enough as the quest 2 hurts your head after about 20 minutes it’s a very poor design with many issues including blurred vision
If you're still using the default head strap then I'd recommend upgrading as soon as you can to another head strap. It can significantly improve your comfort levels. If you have blurred vision then I would also recommend altering the IPD setting in the headset to get a clearer picture as the pancake lenses in the Quest 3 gives a wider sweet spot for viewing and so you shouldn't have this problem. It might also be worth getting an eye test too just to make sure.
There was a slight delay when playing with an official Xbox controller but it was more than playable. Your most likely issue is a high ping rate between yourself and the game server that the game is running on.
@@MyTechGearGaming The game is running from my PC using Virtual Desktop. For casual games the delay is bearable, but for games that require precise input timing, no. I guess there's no difference in input delay using the Xbox controller vs controllers of different brands.
@merahjam_Buu you’re talking about a completely different setup to what this video is about. If you’re playing pc games and using your quest to view then you need to just make sure that your latency is as low as possible.
Very good review. I'm having a great experience it as well. Do you by chance why sound not captures on recording, I couldn't find any solution for that.
@@MyTechGearGaming yes, absolutely. The issue only with Xbox app recordings. I’m trying to understand if it’s common problem or related to specific firmware, my current Q3/v62, same with ptc v63.
same with any console. If you connect over wifi but have a bad wifi connection then it is going to impact your gameplay. More so with this though because you're streaming the entire video screen over your connection.
You have to use one of the supported controllers with the Xbox cloud gaming app. Currently the quest controllers are not supported. This could change as the app matures as it is only in Beta atm.
All I did was put the PS5 controller in Bluetooth pairing mode and then select the controller from the Bluetooth menu on the quest headset to pair them. Then, when I was in the cloud gaming app it just worked.
I wish my wifi was good enough for cloud gaming, i get about 2 seconds of delay and constant tearing.
what is your internet speed?
How the heck did you get it to be this good I have good internet and my looks terrible
I didn't do anything special to get it working, just what you saw in the video. I've got fibre broadband and a wifi 6 router. I just installed it, signed in, and away I went.

You can improve the quality of Xbox Cloud Gaming with Better xCloud (1080p, Clarity Boost...)
True, I use that and it's very nice
It does make a noticeable difference for sure.
I can use my xbox controller to get to the start screen of far cry 6 in vr xbox gaming cloud but it will never get it past that level no matter what buttons i press on anything and I don't know why
I had a similar problem I press the View, Menu, and Share buttons all at once, it seems to switch control of the quest to control of the Xbox app
There won't be an Xbox VR headset. It'll be a Meta Quest headset with an Xbox design.

Those games were designed for Xbox not vr so it’s gonna be flat screen

There a number of controllers that it supports that are mentioned in the video and the link to the support list is in the video description too.
