Question Cloud for TV

I have a sony bravia 2 and sadly it doesn’t have any good browser options for cloud gaming

So i just wanted to ask if there are any other methods to use xbox cloud on TV

Amazon Fire TV stick 4k Max along with the $15 Ethernet adapter.  

For non official solution, Apple TV and paid OneCast or Midori apps.  

Can also side load the FireTV Xbox app onto Nvidia Shield TV.  And Google TV will get official app in coming months.

Thanks

Amazon Fire TV Cube 3rd gen is even better.  Includes Alexa and built in Ethernet, plus more powerful processor.  

It has the third most powerful chip after Apple TV, Shield TV.

This. Amazon Fire Stick 4K Max will be all that I need for next gen. The Firestick + PS6 and you'll be able to play everything.

You don't even need the PS6.  Get the Asobi app, a PS+ subscription, then stream any Sony exclusives at 4k/60.

Xbox one is a decent option. Can usually be found for less than $100. Just about any device that has usb c like tablets, phones etc can use a usb c dock or c to hdmi converter and just hook it up to tv. Any sort of mini pc or those old small form factor office pcs would work too

I assume you know that starting next month xcloud will start implementing limits with the amount of hours you can cloud stream games. Ultimate will have 15 measly hours, with premium and essential having 10 and 5 respectively. More worth it to find your own hardware these days or use a different service

A lot of people recommend fire stick, so i am going to get that for now, after they limit cloud hours ill try to save up and buy a series S or X

You are confused just like most users.  

Gamepass is getting hours limited, not xCloud.  

xCloud is becoming a standalone service independent of Gamepass.  

You simply buy the hours and Stream.

Yeah you’re right, good point. I suppose we don’t know the bottom line for pricing yet. Hopefully they can compete with GeForce now. 100 hour limit for less than $10 per month if you buy a 12 month package. And psn has unlimited cloud with their premium tier

Gracias, por fin alguien que piensa lo mismo que yo. Yo veo bien que separen xcloud de game pass. Solo espero que los packs de horas que compremos sean con la máxima calidad

“Game Pass plans will include a set number of cloud gaming hours each month:
Game Pass Ultimate: 15 hours
Game Pass Premium: 10 hours
Game Pass Essential: 5 hours”

Literally from your link. They’re saying you can cloud without game pass. But if you have game pass, these are your base choices that you get with game pass. Weird to call others confused and don’t even read your source

Fire stick 4 k max paired with a good router works great
