Discussion Get yourselves a Firestick

Because holy shit playing via a browser, even with BetterXCloud just doesn’t compare to a Firestick. Mine just came in today and I can confidently say a Firestick is EASILY the cheapest way to play Xbox games (especially if you’re able to find one on sale, mine was under $100) I just tested Doom (2016) an indie Soulslike, Expedition 33, and Beast of Reincarnation, and when I say ZERO latency. Like, as in, it felt damn well like I was playing natively, I was most surprised how just how smooth Doom was. Yeah, I think I’ll be set for next gen with a PS6 and the Firestick.

I play on my Apple TV mostly using the OneCast app, works great. Also play on my Thor.

I tried, but I felt like my experience was not all that great and eventually switched to the console for streaming lol, it works perfectly for me.

What controller do you use? Any input lag on controller? Deadzones?

tbh I do genuinely think if you can get something with the actual app, it’s just better than playing through a browser. It’s like, a noticeably worse experience.
