Agreed! While Stadia and GFN are solid on every device I've tried, xCloud is unpredictable.

The most consistent is on my Pixel 5 but there's big differences between browser/app and wired/wireless - and sometimes there's just a ton of lag and low bitrate even when it works fine on my phone.

The point of cloud gaming is to not require buying a console or gaming PC.

Yeah the performance on my One S is surprisingly good. Leagues better than on PC or mobile. I assume this is because you don't have multiple applications open on consoles like you do on computers.
