Yep, Google should be very worried, just imagine when Sony does it or Apple does this service. This is why I don't trust Google in anything.Google:
Just note...I've said for over a year that streaming will be included in gamepass (you should see how many people have argued against that and slowly over the past year it has changed...which usually happens with my predictions...). I'm just being very specific...I think it will be included in all levels of gamepass just fyi.From Xbox Wire:
I know it says Dualshock 4 support for xCloud... but curious, will those drivers also be released generally for PC? Because I don't believe there are still true drivers for the DS4 on PC.
I'm pretty shocked people ever thought Xcloud would cost extra on top of Gamepass. Were we the only ones who thought otherwise?
right that makes sense. Been expecting Game Pass sub price to jump up significantly
Took the words out of my mouth! Do you think it's still a ways off?
Dude, all your posts are pro Stadia and shooting down any legitimate concerns about Stadia's faults/disadvantages or woes by rebutting about how Stadia will let you play Red Dead for cheap or spinning something else. You're the fanboy.
xCloud is a Xbox in the cloud, not a PC. It will be the Xbox Game Pass for console that will be available on xCloud
This article makes it sound like it's going to be part of a tier like ultimate and not all gamepass subs.
Yes that's what I'm saying. Let say xCloud is $3/month. You will have to spend $9,99 for Game Pass + $3 for xCloud to get your games everywhere.
I think that will be the case.
They are not saying xCloud will be included in Gamepass. They are announcing that Xbox Game Pass will be available on xCloud. That would be like announcing Xbox Game Pass will be available on Stadia or PS Now. That doesn't make Stadia or PS Now free.
Are you under some delusion that Xcloud will be incapable of streaming next-gen games when next-gen launches?
I also want to see a list of all next-gen games available on Stadia please.
Look at the comments in here on the first page
now go to a stadia thread and look at the comments in its first page
Sounds cool. Looking forward to testing it out.
I'll probably set up accounts for all the streaming services and decide based on what games are available and what works best in my area. Is there any information if it'll have a free tier (i.e. only paying for a game pass subscription or games)?
I'm pretty excited for the streaming services to come out. I'll probably only get a next gen console if the fan noise situation becomes much better than the previous two generations.

I have. I've even responded to those topics and even your own posts. Will you address any of Stadia's faults other than stating you can stream Red Dead for cheap?
As someone that only wants to cloud stream with no hardware I don't see any faults, I hope xcloud and PSnow copy so I can replace my consoles with them
as of now xcloud doesn't look similar to stadia and that disappoints me

You are basically asking, why have a switch though. It's just an option.
Xcloud will be bundled with gamepass at no extra cost.
Console streaming will be free if you own an xbox.
Xcloud will be included at no extra cost for those who sub to gamepass. Its the future enticement on top of the games. Think of it as Netflix. You sub once and steam to anything onto which you are logged in. Nobody would pay Netflix extra to log onto more than one device. The market has been conditioned and MS wording has been pretty clear to me at least. Tablet, PC, phone... Probably Tesla the way Elon invents stuff on the toilet or out for a walk.
Has Microsoft said anything about streaming next-gen games? They would have to upgrade their servers. Are they going to do that? Right away or later on? Maybe they will do it right away, but it's not a given. To assume that they will is much wilder than my assumption, which is that, around this time next year, Google Stadia won't all of a sudden, for no reason, cease to get new games.
You shouldn't be surprised by that. There are millions of gamers that have an Xbox One, just that alone guarantees a lot more faith. Just imagine for a second Microsoft trying to release their first gaming console now. A lot of the comments you see for Google would be there for Microsoft. Once Stadia is available it will start to gain supporters based on the good experiences people have once they try it. That's the only way.

Yea just pointing it out, I want all 3 of them to offer the same thing stadia is offering so that I don't have to buy any consoles
That's a sure thing. By the time Microsoft and Sony update their servers to the latest console hardware, I'm sure we will see the same type of features Stadia offers. The only question is when will that happen.
It's still too early imo. Plus Google hasn't done that great at marketing Stadia. I think it'll be a bit before we see cloud gaming be a true threat to dedicated hardware. This is why Xbox will still support the hell out of Scarlett.
Also, only people like us at Era care about 60fps. That's not a large percentage of people who play on console....hell a lot of them don't even care about higher Res....just look how well the Pro consoles sold lol.

When I say I want them to offer the same thing I'm mainly talking about I want to them offer new games for sale, I'm still doubting Sony will, Microsoft might but not sure, didn't really answer that today
I should have been able to buy death stranding on PSnow for 60$ for example and played it without a PS4 or pc
So wait...in 2020, I'll be able to sub to Game Pass and play Xbox games on Xcloud without actually needing an Xbox? So basically the Netflix of games...finally. I mean I'll need to wait and see what the quality is like but this is huge. Streaming is going to be huge next gen. Of course, I'll probably want to get a PS5 and a Switch 2 or whatever, but I don't see how Sony is able to match this unless they significantly improve PSNOW and start offering day and date first party games. Whoever does streaming best next gen will probably win next gen, IMO, even though it won't be as good as playing games on physical hardware. My plan next gen then will be to build a new PC, get Ultimate Game Pass, don't buy Scarlett probably, and pick up a PS5 for 1st Party Sony games.
Imagine if they offer XCloud on Switch or Switch 2. It'd be game over, as long as the tech is there.
Game pass support as soon as possible pls MS I will love you forever.
oh wait it has to be available in Malaysia first so that as soon as possible pls I will love you forever.

You don't need Xbox Live Gold to play multiplayer games or use party chat in the Project xCloud preview.
You don't even need to own the games :-)
If you get an invite into the program, just open up the app and play 50+ games, unrestricted!
For some reason, it took me until today to fully realize the major xCloud advantage for Xbox over Google Stadia. xCloud will be a bonus way to play Xbox games and gamepass games i already own or have access to. Stadia is asking me to invest in another ecosystem. That's huge
Don't see why not. A game sale is a game sale. The advantage that Microsoft and Sony have is that they will probably offer the option to have the digital version of the game along with the cloud version. This might be better for people that are still not convinced about cloud gaming as a main way to play, but do appreciate it as an option.
So does latency matter or just games? Or both?
When. At what resolution and frames. What will be the base servers it's running off of? Xbox one S, one x, or Scarlett? Will it be a part of gamepass moving forward without additional cost?
