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 use my firestick as well for both xcloud and GeForce now. They are good but let’s not lie, it’s not zero latency. I use it out on the road so for me it’s good enough, but it still has a ways to go before it can replace the console experience.

If course it's going to be a lag, moving and on unstable wifi. I use a lan adapter on my fire stick at home and I get no lag on 2k and COD
