Remote play on PC from XBOX X really blurry.

Xbox series S and X have some (hopefully known) bug that causes this.

My use case for remote is 80% local and 20% remote.

I have a PS5 that works extremely well for this.

My LAN is 1000/1000 wired to the consoles and 866/866 wireless to the client (tested on iPad, Samsung s7+ tab, windows PC)

Internet is gigabit fiber and usually sits between 700-900 mbps up/down

I got a series S a short while ago and faced the same issue on LAN.. android and iPad were very low resolution and blocky (probably 800X600)

Windows client was a little better . Perhaps 1366x768.

On the bright side , Lag was excellent with minimal latency between controller input and action.

Assuming this to be an issue with the weaker hardware on series S, I got a series X but same problem.

Internet test on the console shows 800-900 down, 500-600 up but latency is marked in yellow (probably because I am in India and I think the closest server is in Singapore).

None of this should have had any impact on LAN remote play - but I suspect even LAN play is routed via the Internet

I am suffering from the same problem. This is over 1Gbps local LAN both my PC and series X cabled. the latency is great. It feels like I am streaming over local LAN in terms of response, however the compression seems extremely high which makes the picture very blocky.

When I check the throughput on my PC's network adapter it is only using a peak of 13mbps. if I use moonlight game streaming to stream a 1080p60 stream it uses a decent amount more (between 15-35mbps).

I personally think the problem is that Microsoft does not allow you to select a target bitrate like moonlight does. It's as if it guesses your local network speed incorrectly and is setting the compression too aggressive.

I have the same issue, I am hardwired for both Xbox and PC- I remote play in the same city. But the pixelation blocking is horrendous- I've tested my networks and have met and exceeded the requirements for remote play (According to Microsoft's own Proprietary tests in app). My latency has very low jitter and averages 15-35ms per Pingtest.com, SO I still do not understand why typically launching remote play on my laptop through the xbox app has such a hard time. I hope this issue is being looked into, I know cloudgaming works fine typically suffering only in terms of input lag. But through the xbox app on both my phone and laptop- i find remote play to suffer greatly in terms of picture quality. To the point of unplayability, we need real solutions!

Both my pc and Xbox One are wired, yet remote play is absolutely horrible as in the image is pixilated.

And if I use a 4k monitor it's even worse.

you might have fast internet but it may have high latency with uploading so image quality will be sacrificed (lower bitrate) to allow the controller to work with less latency.

streaming movies would be ok as they can buffer, you can't buffer a game stream as you have to control the actions in realtime.
