Dead on Arrival.

Does it at least have hardware to manage some android games or something? Make this thing half useful in any place but your house? Why would I buy something portable for cloud gaming? The two just don't add up, even a strong 5G connection wouldn't be enough. Any sane person would just buy a Switch for less money if they're on a tight budget.

Have you actually tried it? A strong 5G connection is faster than my home WiFi and I've completed High on Life through MS Cloud Gaming.


I've tested Wo Long on the go and it ran surprisingly well and with even less delay.

Have to agree there, in the cities I think 5G is definitely strong enough for a cloud gaming session on journeys, it's not too uncommon to see people cloud gaming on the trams in Manchester now, quite serviceable for games like Forza and Halo. Equally still a lot of the country, like say on many intercity train routes, where it's not viable though.

As a house handheld, it's probably perfect, the experience is almost seamless nowadays, and the power of the cloud Xbox's and their boot speed is fast enough to make quite expensive PC's from a few years ago wince, giving a very fast and simple experience, great for trying lots of new games.

But as WYP says, you're usually much better off just getting a snap on controller or a phone mount for an existing controller and using that than splashing £300 on a dedicated device.

I've not, but I'm speaking from experience of also using cloud gaming on my home network with Ethernet and fibre, it's playable but hardly even looks like actual 1080p. I can't see the latency of 5G being enough for streaming, at least not for anything more than casual gaming - but at which point my phone can just play a lot of those on the device anyway

Its not the speed that makes 5G so appealing. Its the beneficiant low latency you get from it.
