I know I'm spoiled with the Kishi, but I tried some of the custom controls for Minecraft Dungeons this morning. The custom on screen config looks great and like it's meant to be part of the game. Kinda felt the "streaming" aspect feel a bit less tacked on and more like a mobile game (if that's a positive thing to say...)
Today was my first day using it and I have to say I'm pretty impressed.
I'm using a cracked screen Samsung S8+ though, but I have this cheap Android phone on the way: https://www.boostmobile.com/phones/...__vTSg-1LrMR0a0OmuRoC-W4QAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

Tried 3 games. It's still terrible imho. By itself Xbox one s performance is bad. But the bitrate is terrible with macro blocks. And I put lag is here. Even with kishi. It's so far behind GeForce now and stadia is in another league. Feels like a beta. I hope they can improve the bitrate when série X blades arrive
I literally had the opposite experience. Where do you live? The games I tried look pretty damn crisp, and the input lag was pretty impressive. Definitely wasn't 1:1 with native console experience, but it was pretty negligible for anything not requiring twitch controls.
I can't try this yet because Apple fucking sucks, but the experience you describe is the one that I had on Stadia with my PC...just saying, that experience isn't what everyone is having. It will be nice if they can get the blades upgraded and the service can be more consistent...but will it ever be consistent for everyone? probably not.
The tech is pretty impressive, it works great for me! Super good option when I'll be on the go. I tested this service with Devil May Cry 5 for example and found it to be perfectly playable.
Still haven't received the Razer Kishi from the German Microsoft Store. Seems still unavailable here from Amazon, too :/ Seen this on Twitter from multiple folks, too.

You know that's not how this works, right ?
Your experience is largely dependent on how close you are to their datacenters, and isn't going to be the same many others have.
The tech is seriously impressive. Game pass paired with the Kishi feels like an Xbox in the palm of my hands. I tried 4 games today and they all felt perfectly playable and much better than the earlier stages of the preview program where I would get connection issues. can't wait until they upgrade the blades and see how it fares.
I've been in the beta for a while now but... I'm just not interested in playing games on my phone. It's just not a great ergonomic experience even with a controller adapter.
If they can increase their streaming quality and allow people to stream from more devices, including browsers, that's when this service will start to feel competitive with the existing streaming services for me. I think people really underestimate the value of being able to log in from any browser and play at high quality. I feel like that's already the standard for a modern streaming service.

Well this blows.
I was excited to give it a try, as it looks like the app installs on my Chromebook (I dont fancy playing console games on a phone or tablet screen). But when I try to sign up for the first month of gamepass for £1, I just get "An unexpected error occurred" on their website.
Its a new account, I put in my debit card details, still get an error.
Bummer.
I guess I'll try again later.
EDIT: Managed to sign up on my phone. Weird that it wouldnt work on a chromebook.

I have 1000/1000mb optical fiber internet. And I'm in Paris I think it's very close to a data center. Performance is just not amazing because the hardware used itself. And macro blocking are the same as in the beta
actually it's still an open beta I think. Just start a game. It says beta in the bottom...
im sure it will be better when they upgrade blades. This current hardware may not be able to give a good experience.and everything is 30fps :(( (almost)
I had the same experience this morning when I tried Minecraft Dungeons and was surprised how much I enjoyed it with the on-screen controls. (ended up playing for over an hour when I only meant to try it for a few minutes, hah!) I have held off on buying a Kishi (partly because I've heard the Note 20 Ultra doesn't fit in it too well) but after playing Minecraft Dungeons I'm hopeful more games can have the on-screen controls like that. For me that would be a lot easier too, as I'm not always going to want to take a Kishi with me everywhere I go and being able to just turn on Game Pass on my phone and use the on-screen controls is a lot more convenient.
I'm waiting to see what my cousins' impressions are. They both have gamepass ultimate. I've been telling them about how cool streaming can be even with psnow but I suspect they will have even better results. One of them did sign up for nvidia's service before so it will be interesting to see how they all compare. I think streaming is an excellent supplement to local gameplay and has certain advantages. Exciting times ahead!
I think I played a good twenty hours of Yakuza 0 over Xcloud and it was great. The input lag was about as bad as playing a game on a TV with no game mode which, while not ideal, is something I was able to adapt to fairly quickly.
I really like this as a value add to my existing GP Ultimate sub, I have to say. It's going to come in really handy.

I can't wait to try the Minecraft Dungeons touch controls. Game Streaming works good for me but I hope they work on adding rumble, party chat and second screen functionality so we can just use the mobile device as a screen. This would leave the controller synced (party chat, rumble etc) to the console for home streaming which is different than the current console streaming functionality they offer.
I need updates on how this goes cuz this really makes me wanna get an Android just to have this on the go
I'll post an update on Thursday when it delivers, but I got the idea from this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohUEWEMxnlI&ab_channel=ETAPRIME
It appears that it works very well.
Is there a way to test this without an android product? I have two xboxes and a pc - i just wanna see the performance
Yeah I thought this was the plan initially. I have a few games on there like RDR2 that I don't have on PC and no more Xbox. Would be nice I be able to boot that up again.
Yeah, this is pretty much my experience as well. I love the big selection of games, but I really hope they upgrade the hardware asap.
Yeah. Renews 09/2023. Been playing Gamepass stuff on my PC and laptop the past few days.
Would love to know this as well. I know PCGP and in-home XB1 streaming are things, but this service being only available on Android seems almost comically restrictive.
It's in the Game Pass app, there's an update out for it today. I'm in the UK here too and I got the update OK.
*Comically restrictive in the USA.
In the rest of the world, we use Android.
Pretty good walkthrough video that was linked on another forum, using on a PC via Samsung Dex

Wow! That's super cool using Dex. God damn I need an Android device now!
When did you become a mod? Congrats, youre one of the most active posters on the xbox games studios thread so I see your posts a lot.
Android has an 87% market share worldwide.
Annoying if you are an IOS user (as I am), but you are comically wrong
About ten minutes ago :D Thanks, appreciated! I have a lot of learning to do first.
It also works flawlessly on a Chromebook that can be picked up on the cheap. Hopefully Apple will cave one day
Did you play with a wifi connection or a cellular connection?
