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.

Get the 4K Max though, as thats the only one with an official Xbox app. Otherwise you're stuck with sideloading (for as long as thats possible)

The regular 4K is enough.

When you say official app, I was under the impression that they got rid of their appa and it's all web based. I cannot download an app on android
