xCloud invites going out

I bet you the first exclusive games they show will take advantage of server stacking in some way
Finally got a chance to try this out last night only to discover that the Elite controllers don't have Bluetooth, I didn't realise that.
Managed to find the original controller that came with the X so going to give it another try this evening.

Gylt isn't using multi GPU, or if it is it's incredibly underwhelming.
Really weird l, tried at home again and SoT was way worse than last week, very laggy and unplayable.
then I load up Halo 5 again and it's fine tho maybe a little heavier than last week.

That's only a timed exclusive it's not made from the ground up for stadia
Flying half the world to test a cloud service. That's dedication.
;)
It's nice to see how quick it reconnects when switching from wireless to 4G and vice versa.
I got my invite today 😁.
First impression is my input lag is noticable, which is to be expected but I was hoping it was a little better than I'm experiencing.
This is definitely something I would use away from home on a trip, or stuck somewhere with nothing to do. It's completely serviceable for what it is.

Echoes my exact same experience. I picked Killer Instinct to test, because I as a hardcore fighting game player, I would be able to notice the input lag on here and it's really noticeable. Tried the 5GHZ and 2.4GHZ bands and only 5GHZ was worth using. I would even say the 5GHZ is unplayable considering you need precise inputs. Didn't give Halo/Gears a shot even though I feel those would be good to stream and playable. I couldn't access streaming from console, which I hope would work awesome.
Also it was a pain in the ass to get the bluetooth controller to sync to phone. It wouldn't pair, the solution was to update the controller via Xbox
I wonder if my old Motorola phone just doesn't have a fast wifi chip now. Because I've seen some people say it's literally great and lag unnoticeable.
Works on the Android app but I can't activate it until I get to home and turn on my Xbox which seems weird.
I played a bit of Halo. On my 2.4Ghz network, it was definitely crappy. It was much better on 5.0 Ghz. Still felt a bit weird. Occasional hitches, just often enough to remind you that it's not local.
Wasn't sure if I was able to talk about this. Got my invite and played Halo 5 and KI. Where can you get one of those clips to mount your phone to the controller?
Super stoked to try this! I can't believe I left my controller at home today. It would have been cool to play The Outer Worlds during lunch..
Just search controller clip on Amazon, there are a bazillion. I bought a decent rated one and so far no issues.
What's the cheapest compatible android tablet I could get for this? I'm in the market for an extra screen but I may jump on this now that the beta is available to insiders.
How does console streaming work? Do you need to have your console on and is it only possible on the same network? Or are you able to leave the console off and play while at work?
You need to be on the same network. Your xbox works as a server. Console needs to be in instant on mode.
awww so would the full feature xcloud still be that then? (outside your network)
i wish they had something similar to remote play, since that already works today
if im home....my xbox i right there already
At the very least the console must be on, but I'm not sure if you can connect from another network.
okay, so i guess i need for the full feature xcloud, to play all my games on the go (hopefully this means gp too)
You need to have registered at https://www.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-game-streaming
If you already have, then you'll need to wait for an invite.
if you're on about the console streaming service, you don't need an invite this.
Didn't they say that they were going to allow you to remote stream your console off network? I thought this was going to be it, but is that not the case? I did through the PC app via VPN, I suppose I can do the same through phone, but I was hoping that I wouldn't need to and remote play would just work.
*edit
The article on https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2019/10/29/xbox-console-streaming-preview-starts-today/ mentions him playing Slay the Spire remotely during lunch. Are you sure this is local network only? I know that is how it used to be.
It looks like I didn't read everything through.
There is still an xCloud beta that allows you to stream without a console and the only games you can stream are KI, Gears 5, Halo and Sea of Thieves.
A new beta started for Console streaming exclusive to Xbox Insiders. This lets you stream Xbox One and Xbox Game Pass games that are installed on your console. Your system needs to be on instant on mode and connected to the internet. You cannot stream backwards compatible games at this time.
In both instances, your mobile device can be WiFi or Cellular as long as it is capable of 10 Mbps-down / 4.75 Mbps-up bandwidth.

Haven't tested it myself but there is no indication in the language that this needs to be on the same network like it does when you stream to your PC.
Trying the from console streaming, working great. Couldn't see a think in CoD but felt snappy, trying destiny 2 now.
The site summarizing both xCloud and Console Streaming is here:

Has helpful info for anyone trying to figure out the difference between then.
Console streaming doesn't require an invite to Project xCloud, so the invites people are talking about in this thread aren't needed to start trying out console streaming.

Okay wow, console streaming is seriously impressive. I can hardly even notice input lag, but I'm on my home network.
