    Am I spoiled by GFN? Xbox streaming is.. underwhelming


    For the past 6 months I've been an avid Geforce Now user (3080 subscription) and have noticed that compared to my rig (ryzen 2600, 16GB, 3080 RTX) GFN actually offers me a higher FPS at what as a non competitive gamer I'd describe as unnoticable latency.

    This week I decided to give Xbox Game Pass Ultimate streaming a go since it had some titles included which I'd like to play, and I confess.. I find it underwhelming.

    I'm using the Nvidia Shield Pro and with some tweaks got the Xbox Game Pass app installed. Navigating is quite a drag. A lot of images are very unclear (on a 4k TV), often my cursor disappears and I can't see where I'm scrolling.

    Then the streaming quality itself: 1080p at a bitrate that is very obviously lower than GFN. Sure the Xbox alternative is $6 cheaper per month, but honestly.. 1080p and darker areas being quite blocky because of the low bit rate? I respectfully decline, downgrade to xbox game pass basic, and will instead install those games to my physical hardware.

    Did I miss something and are there hidden options to enable 4k at higher bitrates? or is this just the result of the platform (powered by actual Xbox hardware) being completely crushed by Nvidia's GFN (which uses 3080ish hardware with quite powerful CPU and RAM too)?

    Streaming on Xbox 360

    There is no built in streaming to the Xbox 360 console. Using the Elgato or another capture card would be the easiest way to stream that content. I agree, the built in streaming for Xbox One and Windows 10 is pretty great and can spoil you, but it's
    not available for the Xbox 360.

    Balance Changes 10/16 - Krogan Shaman + Hazard map switch

    Not too impressed with the new krogan. Variety is always nice but it just seems underwhelming at first glance. Am I wrong?

    XBox Cloud Gaming in Luxembourg?

    Now it is and works well :)

    Still stupid from MS not to just unlock Xcloud though - There is a lot of datacenters all over
    Haha yes, I have been playing Starfield on GFN :D

    New Games with Gold for October 2019

    A little underwhelming. I usually am interested in at least one game each month, but not the case here. Might DL Friday the 13th just to have it.

    So what were the big surprises at PAX?

    I have to say I am a little underwhelmed by both gamescom and PAX. I was under the impression microsoft were going to really push the xbox one and we are still only getting snippets of information from the odd interview.
