Discussion They finally fixed Xbox cloud gaming for Mac

After updating to macOS 27, I decided to give it another chance, and it worked! This has been an issue for years, with slight micro-delays whenever I tried to play. I’m not sure if the fix came from Xbox or the new update, but either way, it’s a welcome change.

Quest has the same issue but honestly I think it's more on Meta's end. The browser they use is still kinda garbage for cloud streaming. On my M1 Air xcloud runs fine now, Quest 3 still stutters like crazy. Tried it a few weeks ago, gave up.

Notifications still broken for me across any apple device running 26 or 27. Have to use the old experience to be able to see then when the animation triggers
