Xbox Gaming Coming to Amazon Fire TV: Play More Games, No Console Needed – Xbox Wire

That’s super cool but I’m always highly skeptical about the latency issue being aggressively shit with cloud based gaming. Especially through a smart tv that’s pretty middle of the road at best.
I like the idea, I’m skeptical about the implementation.

You’ve been able to download the xbox app on any google/android dongle, including the shield (via aptoide) for years now. /shrug
Yeah no thanks.
Lol no console needed is their new slogan
This sounds like Stadia. While streaming games might be viable in the future it’s just not there yet. And I guarantee this will require an “always online” even for single player games.
Samsung TV’s have had that for years. The quality has increased. However, the experience with delay is far from enjoyable.
It’s getting better. It’s reasonable for some low level gaming now but will expand in the future. This is the way the industry is going. 🤷♂️
The latency is still a problem. Granted it is much better, but the lag is always going to be there, unles MS will have servers in every city in the world. Get a console, or a mid range pc and game for real.
Likely terrible, the Fire stick is trash (I’m “using” the 4k model.
Anyone who has a problem with latency needs to get a better network. Wireless is also a killer of any solid connection. Its crazy how uniformed the average person is when it comes to steaming/gaming.
No, the cheapest internet package possible isn’t good enough to do this. Its not your TV.
My Samsung TV has had this for about a year. I will admit it’s pretty cool you can connect your Xbox controller to the TV and play Xbox games without the console, but the latency was soooo bad. I tried playing Forza, the half second delay for your input to register make games like that impossible.
Hell yeah, no more reason to buy an Xbox.
Pc and Switch it is.
Good. Don’t know if I’ll use it but, maybe.
What’s good is they keep trying which will hopefully lead to continued improvements to the concept. The dream is that it’s good enough one day to be seamless between your steam, Sony, Microsoft, etc libraries for a a living room gaming set up, hiccup free, latency delay improved.
Would love to take advantage of high quality TV settings to play controller friendly games in the living room with out having to move the PC down there or having to have consoles sitting around.
Unless you have fiber it’s pointless. Almost half of Americans don’t have fiber optic
