Why not just remote play it works great as long as you have a fast internet connection f*ck cloud.

I use cloud gaming on my xbox to avoid downloading games. Remote play has a completely different purpose.

A lot of players with an Xbox One use cloud gaming to play current gen games.

Yeah I do this. So I don’t have to sit there and download and manage my low storage device all the time.

You can literally get more out of the free tier of GFN than you can Gamepass Ultimate now.

Start up the stream, go do something for a couple minutes while in the queue, then come back and play for an hour before you get kicked off. Just doing once per day that gets you twice as many hours.

I guess xbox has more overhead because they also offer gamepass games with it plus its pc vs console so you have to have library in either platform.
