So I tried playing xcloud directly on Safari. Well, not only does the controller work perfectly, I also have less sound stutters and I can't notice any difference between Chrome and Safari on my Mac (M1 MBP base model). The Apple M1 chip has managed to crush the Surface Pro X in early benchmarks, but it could soon face real competition. That’s because Qualcomm is finally working on a powerful ARM-based chip for.
Microsoft had to abandon its original plans to let people play xCloud games on iPhones and iPads via an iOS app, the same way it does on Android (above photo), but is reportedly “very close” to a public preview of a web-based workaround.
Android Studio on M1 Mac is now supporting ARM images. Created a tablet with the image and a good resolution + ram. Install Game Pass. Stream your games from the cloud. Caveat: No Bluetooth support from the android emulator. No keyboard or mouse support from the Game Pass app. Only touch-ready games you can use a mouse. Edit: formatting text.
Project xCloud will be available for Android, iOS, PC, and Xbox One. The current preview we tested only works for Android and iOS, though the latter is limited to 10,000 testers. Microsoft xCloud Rolled Out to iOS and macOS. Microsoft’s xCloud is a cloud streaming element of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. Users do not need a console to play the more than 100 games which are.
The project shouldn’t be confused with the iOS Xbox app, which lets you stream games from your own Xbox to your phone. xCloud, in contrast, lets you stream games directly from Microsoft servers.
Microsoft employees are said to be testing the approach, with a public preview described as “very close” …
Background
Microsoft’s original plan was an iOS app, and it made a TestFlight version available almost a year ago to the day.
After debuting its Project xCloud streaming game service as a preview last fall on Android [above photo], Microsoft has today launched the preview for iOS via TestFlight. The iOS preview is limited to 10,000 testers with registrations open now […]
While the preview is limited to Halo: The Master Chief Collection Microsoft eventually plans to bring all 3,500+ Xbox games to the service in the years ahead.
We found that the app showed a lot of promise, but things came to a shuddering halt when Apple’s strict App Store policies meant it was no longer feasible. Apple wanted to be able to individually approve every one of the 3,500 games available through the service.
Microsoft expressed its displeasure at Apple’s stance, but didn’t give up. We first heard in October of last year that the company had instead started working on a web-based approach, in which games are played in a browser.
xCloud games on iPhones via web browser
The Verge confirms this, and says that the company is now “very close” to a public preview.
Microsoft has started testing its xCloud game streaming through a web browser. Sources familiar with Microsoft’s Xbox plans tell The Verge that employees are now testing a web version of xCloud ahead of a public preview. The service allows Xbox players to access their games through a browser, and opens up xCloud to work on devices like iPhones and iPads […]
The web version includes a simple launcher with recommendations for games, the ability to resume recently played titles, and access to all the cloud games available through Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. Once you launch a game it will run fullscreen, and you’ll need a controller to play Xbox games streamed through the browser […]
Microsoft is planning some form of public preview of xCloud via the web in the spring, and this wider internal testing signals that the preview is getting very close.
xCloud on the web currently requires a Chrome-based browser, but support for Safari is expected.
