- Testing out all my Apple devices - iPhone, iPad, MacBook Pro, and Mac Mini in the hopes of finding the best way of playing Xbox Cloud Gaming. I recent bought an Xbox Series X, and subscribe to Xbox Game Pass, and without a gaming PC anymore, I wondering, can Xbox Cloud Gaming be a substitute for a gaming PC? Watch for more.

Apple TV needs an Xbox app
The Xbox cloud service must be improved, for sure. There is a lot of potential though. However, the console streaming via Xbox app is really good! I travelled a couple of weeks ago and decided to bring my Xbox controller to try playing with my iPad mini 6. The experience was solid! I used the Hilton’s Wi-Fi and got no delay, lags or anything!
I have tried Xbox Cloud Gaming and I had a fun time for the most part. I used it on Android and the experience is much better compared to iOS. One advantage that Android has is that you can hook up your controller via USB-C to help reduce latency. There is still some room for improvement and I hope we get to a point where most of the technical issues are resolved. I just wish Apple wasn’t so stubborn about cloud gaming as I think it would be a success for the platform.
I don’t think many people are aware you can connect your ps4 controller to your iphone the same way you would connect to a speaker using Bluetooth
@itachisasku Why would I want to use a USB-C hub just to connect the controller? That is just one extra unnecessary step.
@@isaiahrand1063 Of course you can, but bluetooth is worse if you are using it for cloud gaming due to increased latency.
@itachisasku I tried the USB-C hub and it doesn't work. It is possible that Apple restricted this to the M1 iPads.
@@smartphonefan5226 i have the razer kishi which plugs directly into the lightning port and it works perfectly
I've found Nvidias GeForce Now to be the best experience for me when it comes to gaming with my friends. The fact it runs Steam and I can play with all my friends on Steam is great.
I whould agree but I still use cloud gaming only beacuse there’s more games and I’m able to play with more of my freinds
GeForce Now is mad
@@LegitReptile GeForce Now is cloud gaming and it uses Steam so you have all of your Steam friends to play with and all your steam games.
@@Azn_Bran GeForce is hella expensive now though and xbox cloud streaming has nearly caught up to it in terms of stream quality.
@@NameLess-fh1oo Hmm, I’ve not looked into Xbox Game Pass on a Mac, how is that?
Incredible quality in your video man, great work!! Very impressive
Yep cloud gaming from every provider is the same. I'm talking Xbox, GeForce Now!
It ain't usable even with the best network!
Hardware is still the only way!
I've always wished I had an RTX 69420, but now I don't have to worry about it
What about an apple watch 😂
If people only knew what Cloud Gaming entails for the future of gaming. Well Cloud Gaming with Game Pass is the next step of DRM and the end of downloading games, not a very bright future for game Preservation or for modding Communities. It will be the end of gaming as we know it.
Game Pass is not in your best interest, mark my words.
Man.. cloud gaming is so sick. I’ve always done remote play on my 13 pro max, but I finally figured out how to play via cloud gaming, and wow. Absolutely insane how I can play my Xbox just about anywhere I go.
have you had issues with party chat on Mac? for some reason I can't get it to output my mics audio
I don't think you're talking about the right thing. In the video hr talks about cloud run game...whereas what you are referring to is simply using your device as a monitor for your console and yes that is epic stuff from Xbox!
@@sappys90 did you read what he wrote? ‘… but I finally figured out how to play via cloud gaming…’
It wasn’t the first sentence he wrote so I can see how one might have missed it.
@@Stalinfalcon he obviously didn’t lol I didn’t try it until yesterday and.. using touch controls to play dirt 5 was difficult, but I still managed to win the first tutorial race. It must have gotten better since this review.
The only lag.. I can assure you, was on my end this time lol
A year later, has this improved? Apple can add an easy gaming solution to the Mac if they just work with Xbox Gamepass to run more natively. Apple Arcade is dead.
I played battlefield 2042 multiplayer last night on my 12.9 M2 iPad Pro and it was definitely playable Nov 2023
i wonder if this is the case. Having some games on Ipad and Xbox controller seems a great ida - if they dont lag. I wish PUBG was on Xbox live.
Does it overheat the ipad after some run time?
I don't know if the streaming will ever match hardware, but I'm amazed at where it is now let alone in 5 years. A few months ago I flew to my brother's bachelor party and had a 2 hour layover getting to snap on a RAZR controller and play AAA games while waiting to board on a 5G connection was clutch.

At somepoint cloud gaming will exceed hardware u have at home, just needs more development and funding. I say in 10 years it will be outpace any PC u can build.
@@anikan4856 this if you have a decent connection
@@yoshi555king yeah agreed
I tried Xbox Cloud gaming on my low end multimedia pc (basic "office" optiplex with i3 and 8G of ram in it and windows 10) and i didn’t have any sort of issue like you did. My internet connection is only 50mbps. No lag, no pixelation, very smooth gameplay and surprisingly low latency, only noticible in few games.
exactly same for me, i play on a low end windows 11 laptop with about 50-70 mbps and playing games like mortal kombat 11 where having input lag just messes the gameplay, its really almost unnoticeable to none at all
You are having a common Wifi 6 issue with conflicting hardware, as such your speeds would improve if you went down to Wifi 5. Xbox Game Pass Cloud gaming have screen controls for some games. It usually mentioned it in the game listing. Whilst you are likely to experience lag with streaming, your setup adds lag with the Wifi and it’s aforementioned issue, and the controller being connected to Bluetooth. Microsoft recently showed a new feature that is suppose lower latency by a lot. Good video.
Just a thought: Would be emulating Windows in a Virtual Machine with the native Xbox Cloud Gaming improve performance?
Maybe, but I can’t be sure. Interesting question
I have a new Samsung TV (support gaming) and there it support Xbox cloud gaming...its very very very good!!
I play every day on my workplace Wi-Fi. The only time I’ve had those issues is when the Wi-Fi speed dips. At home it’s pretty smooth on the faster connection. Maybe it’s your location?
I tried it on my I phone 14 pro max and the controller lag drove me nuts
Why are you a Apple fan boy 😂
I have a iPhone se 2020 and Xcloud for me is so laggy I can’t even play.. I don’t have wifi but I play on 4G lte
Haha
No apple tv test?
When latency resolution and fps are perfected then Sony and Microsoft will make more money off their cloud gaming services through playstation now and gampass ultimate since last Gen consoles can play next Gen games on these services. So an average gamer can play next Gen, have a massive library of games, not have to install the game on a digital console model with low storage, and have potentially better resolution and fps than their system by itself can handle.
Google Stadia is so good with latency and live streaming video compression codec, because they have the multi-year expertise, datacenters and technology of RUclips. I really wished they really competed seriously on this.
I have decent internet but the router is downstairs and can't be moved as it's connected to the only phone line in the house, and so have to connect from upstairs via Wi-fi. My speeds are 41.87 download and 17.54 upload, and the Ping is 15ms I think. Is this a good enough connection for GeForce now?
Subscribed in the first 2 mins of the video… can just tell this guy is good.
Try Fortnite is really beta
What I like about cloud gaming is the option to game without a console. No graphics card or insane amount of storage necessary. Cloud Gaming for Xbox is still in beta stages, but once the technology is complete, it will be amazing. I wish Steam would come up with their version of cloud gaming because they would gain more customers.
Its a rumor going around of xbox trying to buy steam an tbh i hope they do it would be crazy for cloud gaming
Watching this to find a new solution for gaming on the go after Google has announced it will discontinue Google Stadia.
Stadia solved the Bluetooth-input lag, and streaming-lag issues, and it worked perfectly and was just so easy. Such a shame. I really hope the rest of the cloud gaming platforms take note and adopt the good things from stadia.
I strongly believe Xbox will become the biggest game streaming player, since they already have the user base and the library, and they can take their time developing the tech.
Stadia unfortunately had neither the games nor the users, and hoped the albeit clever and practical tech would sway the market.
I love Stadia, and I hope so badly that Xbox can incorporate the clever solutions Stadia found in the future to really create for gaming what RUclips/Netflix/etc was for the home DVD player.
Sad that xbox app for mobile is region lock
This is not my experience at all, sure the quality isn't as it is on an Xbox but I haven't experienced any input lagg at all. I use the Brave browser, a mac mini m1 and a ps4 controller. I have quite fast internet thought which obviosuly helps.
But yeah, I have had hours of fun playing Sea of Thieves, No mans sky and some other smaller games with friends, works perfectly for me. We also have to remember your are playing these games on a browser, thats insane.
We have all sinned and fallen short of Gods glory and we all deserve hell but Jesus Christ Gods perfect sent son died on a cross so we don’t have to go there and we can now be saved by grace through our faith in him.
My connection is slower than yours but it runs quite well. Maybe they’ve upgraded the infrastructure since you made this.
Using it on iPad and windows pc and both are awesome! Not getting noticeable input lag on iPad 9th Gen
I've been experiencing no input lag and although the video is a bit blurry, the games are 100% playable. I just play on my laptop with a wired PS4 Dualshock controller on the web and on my wireless 100MB WiFi!
Cloud gaming on my IPad Pro is amazing. It has gotten so much better in the last 2 months. I do have decent Internet though.
It does seem to have improved over the months!
apple tv?
The first cloud gaming service I tried was Google Stadia I liked it but I only used it for games like Destiny 2 I was going to get more games for Stadia but that was when the service was about to shut down forever, I also tried Xcloud on my Xbox One but it was super laggy and I just stopped using it because of how laggy it was and after that I just went back to the games I already own both physically and digitally I’m probably never gonna use cloud gaming ever again.
i use an 2017 macbook air via WLAN. I plug in my stadia-controller via USB and use brave. might use edge too. there is like no input lag at all, really. I can handle the fastest forza 5 cars, no problem. sometimes the image quality is not the cleanest, but MS edge might solve this. xcloud is fkn amazing, i'm very surprised.
you can use nvidia geforce now for better experience
I use a 40mbps service with proton vpn premium. I have some input lag but image quality is top notch. And i run it on a old Pentium pc with 4gb ram on edge Canary. I mostly play single player games so I'm more than happy 😊
Great video
Apple has the hardware horsepower for it but the way Apple handles overall compatibility across the market space limits them.
imagine being able to grind fortnite on an apple watch lmao
Cloud gaming isn’t great for every single game it sure saves you space for sure
I've tired Xbox Cloud Gaming from Brazil on Windows, Mac, iPad and iPhone and I had good enough results. But the thing is: iPads, Macs and iPhone (Specially iPad and Mac with M1 and M2) have all the ingredients it takes to run triple A games and become a MASSIVE industry on games. But like: Apple doesn't makes things easy for developers to do so. The most annoying thing I've experienced XCG is the fact that you CANNOT play at all on 4G. Where I live on Brazil we still don't have 5G. If I'm on Wi-Fi, it's easier to grab my Xbox controller and just play on the console. The lack of the option to play some parts offline is a huge flaw on my opinion.
The truth is: I wish Apple devices should be better at gaming and they are not even a real option when it comes to gaming. 🙁
The amount of data required to play on xCloud is something that makes 4G/5G unviable here in Brazil. Of course, unless money it's not an issue for you.
Microsoft showed the xCloud numbers in Brazil a couple of months ago. There're lots of people here that are xCloud users only (I'm one of them). It's a viable option to Brazilian players when the hardware, and software, prices are ridiculously high.
Hi, thanks for the video. Have you tried xcloud on your xbox to have a benchmark? Also, in my experience Wifi may still have a huge influence.
As others mentioned, I also wonder how stadia runs with your setup.
You forgot the Apple Watch 😂
since upgraded my internet cloud gaming has been smooth. I no longer use an external hard drive. If im honest I think it a mixture on what game you are playing, internet speed, where you are in the world and luck.
I no long have the dropped frames. The games run in a low res (720 ish) but work fine.
Man I can't wait to play on my apple watch
Do you need an XBox to connect a controller?
Every Apple devices… I don’t think so. What about the Apple TV ?
I thought i give it a go and i don't have an Xbox , so I plugged an old Iphone 6 into my 65 inch TV via lightning to HDMI and connected a PS4 controller, and for the most part its pretty good. I do get some fuzzy images and pause every now and then. But the over all experience is good enough that i no longer use my PS4
Great video. Love Apple, But I wish they’d open up the Mac to gaming
Cloud PC gaming brings the Internet cafe experience to the masses...
can i stream the games 24/7 on xbox cloud if i purchase xbox game pass ultimate
Pc game pass works on my dell precision m4700 with no problem also nvidia geforce now and stream and epic game store working great i think the problem with the MacBook is your trying to stream the game because on my xbox one s when i play games that are for the xbox series x using game pass the game will lag some Microsoft said it's my internet connection
Hey Kyle, Has the experience with Xbox icloud beta improved on mac /iphone now compared to one year ago when this video was made? Or still the same?
On my ipadpro M1 Forza runs amazingly
idk what hes on but i use cloud gaming all the time and it runs almost perfect for me, no lag and pretty good graphics
Works better with native apps, the input lag is still there but it's way less (try Android devices to see), I use it on a daily basis especially now that I want to save a bit of power for the electric bill or when I don't wanna stare at thr TV for too long or when I wanna play on the bed or things like that before going to sleep
But it's important that I tell I have an Xbox and so a lot of the time I'm streaming from the Xbox and not the cloud but cloud gaming isn't much worse it's still good
This first time watching ur channel bro .. great content good luck
This is exactly the video I was looking for because I was wondering if it was worth paying a subscription to game on an iPad. From this video it doesn’t look like it’s worth it yet for me as the network performance just isn’t good enough and you have very good internet connection speed.
I’ve been playing RE7 via this method for the last couple days and it’s been as if I was playing the console itself performance wise. Graphically I’ve had the same issues as him, with gradients being rly pixelated
the important question is how far are you from a data center cause after a 50 -100 mb speeds on your end is not that important
Don't listen to this reviewer. This is a horrible review and he has no idea what he is doing. Not all browsers are the same. Edge has clarity boost and some features that no other browser have for xcloud. Not to mention he failed to do a lan test. I have many friends who use cloud daily with none of these issues. Period. Myself included. I have no lag like he is showing. He talked crap about the service but didn't even use it correctly.
Cloud Gaming is for gaming at work it has potential 🤓
I assume performance will vary by location since some people may be closer to Microsofts data centers than others. The latency should improve over time once fiber optic cabling becomes the norm. If anything, it's the convenience factor that is the selling point for cloud gaming in it's current state.
Exactly
I subscribed to cloud gaming without owning an Xbox ($1 for 3 months deal) and gotta say I’m still fairly impressed. I travel A LOT for work, and being able to play games on my iPad that aren’t Apple Arcade games it pretty convenient. I actually do plan on purchasing a Series X once I get back home.
But the kicker is: hotels have awful internet speeds. I find myself having to plug into Ethernet via dongle to get a playable experience at times.
I think there’s a problem with your Ping. I use xbox gamepass nonstop on my iPad and Mac Mini and I don’t have any problems, no lag and at all , i play forza horizon non stop on my mac, funny part is that i have half your internet speed.
Does your game saves upload to the cloud so I can play what I left off. When I start on my console?
I Had Stadia….Same Thing!
Wi-Fi Controls Suck!
I’m on 1GB Cable Internet.
Probably time to revisit this. It's significantly better on everything.
Can you play with a Xbox controller on fortnite cloud gaming
I NEED THIS ANSWERED
Yeah bro as long as you got it connected via Bluetooth
@@bladybc17 Still can't
@@syxbby SAME
@@bladybc17 same here
On my IPhone 13 pro max .. it’s lagging a lot .. on my iPad 12.9 4th gen .. lagging a lot as well .. not sure if it’s our internet
seems to really fluctuate without reason for me
@itachisasku my iPad the lag is not that noticeable. And I’m use to playing on a series x on my LG OLED. 2k had very little lag but definitely playable.
Just saw the video, and I have to say that I just did not have the same lag as you seem to mention. Granted, this was via network cable and WIFI6 seems to have a number of problems still... I also connected my xbox controller to my pc via usb... so that might have helped more.
(( I actually solved the problem with a far easier solution. Yes, I know, the whole scope is cloud gaming, and when you consider the advances in the lat 5-6 years it's amazing... but when I am going away for more than a cople of days, I pop my xbox series s in my luggage. It's so tiny. ))
Cloud gaming for sure will eventually take over once we get faster ISPs.. I can't wait until that day tbh, I really like Mac and me too moved away from Microsoft and went full time to Apple. Windows is only great for Gaming tbh, everything else Mac can do just as good as Windows and their security is far more superior then Microsoft.. As an IT guru, and Windows fan boy, I moved on.
Um didn’t see any gameplay on the Apple Watch. Extremely disappointed
I just fucking played D00M ETERNAL on my android phone and it was console quality in control responsiveness and graphics. I was literally quick switching with no lag.
If you have Xfinity with a data cap it isn't recommended. I prefer Playstation streaming from my PS4 PRO from my PC. I hated the experience with Xbox Clouding when I wanted to play Gears of War 2 which I might buy an Xbox One Series S just to play the Xbox 360 classics in actual hardware. I hate to admit it Stadia wasn't that bad and I beat Cyberpunk 2077 too bad its servers are dead now.
Since this is for people that don't want to own the games at all, isn't there an option to just download the game to your drive? All that's required is their not-so-secret always online stipulation. I think it's pretty stupid to try to stream something that isn't prerendered media.
I had a better time on Stadia than I ever did on xCloud. xCloud is a waste of time and money compared to Stadia's performance and design
"I Tried Xbox Cloud Gaming On Every Apple Device!"
I am very sorry you had to get in contact with apple products.
I do apologize In the name of the world, who made you do this. =(
i use xbox cloud gaming daily and hve never had any issues, never had input delay nor the game being laggy. i do use ethernet though
Those deficiencies are the result of Apples policies not Microsoft’s product. “The web experience” is across all Apples products you know that right? I think you contradicted yourself so I’m not sure what you actually believe.
Anyway, a wired controller connection to a windows laptop works great.
It works better on my pc and Android phone
Please can you give an update? Should be way better now
hola, i just bought 60inc samsung qn90b, i couldnt believe someone could game high end withouy a console, gave it a try wiolaaa fucken amazing experience, already finished three battlefield games, Sniper elite 5, now playing Ghost Recon. sometiems laggy as my internet is shitty. shocked it still works on my shitty internet haha, but best experience, samsung rocks
This guy is the steam punk version of LINUS TECH TIPS😂
I was about to try it on my 0.250 kbs internet 😂😂😂
did he just say a 69420 graphics card?
They should learn from GEFORCE Now,, no lag and can run rtx from my iphone.
What monitor is in your videos in this I tried Xbox Cloud Gaming on Every Apple device RUclips?
Apple needs to do it. Rn I im working overnights but have a ps5 but I pay 14.99 a month just to play them on my iPad. Yeah it doesn’t compare but getting paid sometimes to play games. I wish apple would stop I wanted to play a couple new games and u can tell it just can’t handle it
After seeing so many videos praising xcloud, i realize that honesty is an act of wisdom.. thank you sir for staying out of the bunch!
Anyone know how to interact with a mouse and keyboard on a Macbook? Tried a chrome plugin but no luck. Need it for Flight Simulator!
Update 1 year later and I would say it’s actually worse than it’s ever been. Microsoft won’t put in the hours , money or time im afraid and as Apple machines with M chips are more than fast enough then the future is not looking promising for any kind of real cloud gaming. Over to Sony as I hear they have a handle on it and should be extremely good in a year or 2
who does he think he is? I can forza on my laptop and phone through my Phone's data (4g). Every game i play at 1080p there is no lag and no screen tears.
Cloud gaming have gotta better at playing now I barley have any lag now
Why you you sound EXACTLY like Linus..? Anybody told you that?
Honestly looks like you might have more wi-fi or isp generated latency than most due to the amount of lag you are showing and talking about. I’ve had a much better experience then what you are describing.
The opening few seconds of audio in the video sound exactly like p0rn moans. Lol everyone in the library is staring at me.
Could u imagine how good cloud gaming could be in another 10 years
Xbox Cloud gaming is crap. Geforce Now and Luna have been my best experiences with the cloud.
