Series s cloud gaming failure

Aaron Baker1 · Sep 4, 2022

Issue with cloud gaming, my series x shows the optional cloud play for select games and it functions properly. My son's series s does not show the cloud as an option for cloud enabled games. Ive tried clearing any q, updates, as well as power cycling. Not sure how to restore his cloud gaming ability

Hi Aaron, I hope you're doing great out there. I am an Independent advisor and I am here to help you in regard to your concern.

Just a friendly reminder though that the cloud gaming feature is available for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate users only. The subscription needs to be active on your son's account in order for him to have an option to use the cloud gaming feature it can't be shared.

Thanks for all the answers.

As two of you mentioned, cloud gaming is powered by Series X now, like I mentioned too.

I still have the same question. Isn't there also quality difference in graphics between Series S and Series X? Like textures are more detailed and shadows are rendered better in Series X? Now if Series X is used on cloud gaming, isn't those improvements then on Series S too via streaming from cloud? Or are the Series S and Series X exactly the same graphics wise in general but Series S just has lower resolution?

I understand that cloud gaming isn't 4K and there might be latency issues etc but that wasn't my question.

Thanks.

You would have to purchase the game digitally in order to be able to play it on the Series S.

Game saves are stored on the cloud and will resync when you start the game on the Series S.

If you're using a Series S it should give you the option to either install it or play on the cloud. If it's a One S, there are some games that can't be installed on that console and would only give the option for the cloud.
