If you still have the 2014 Xbox One and its performance is not up to date, Microsoft may have the solution for you. Xbox Cloud Gaming, otherwise known as xCloud, will soon allow you to play games Xbox Game Boss Ultimate without spending a little extra on your subscription. The Spanish Youtube channel ElAnalistaDeBits saw the performance of this online service on the Xbox One, and it is much more efficient than the latter.
The Xbox Cloud Gaming Console is now available to all Xbox Insiders
What does Xbox Cloud Gaming offer?
Xbox Cloud Gaming was born on November 14, 2019. Originally offered on some compatible smartphones, it soon expanded to other platforms. iOS, PC and Xbox consoles are gradually being integrated into the service, it is now 100% powered by Xbox Series X. ! The transmission stream is 1080p / 60 FPS and Microsoft is now targeting 4K at 120 FPS.
Through these shows, the Spaniards of the ElAnalistaDeBits Youtube channel, with enough connectivity, wondered if Xbox Cloud Gaming allowed better results than the Xbox One console. Since all the games tested have been improved by the fluidity, clarity or loading times of the image, a big answer is yes.
Make way for various tests on the Xbox One
A total of six games have been tested: Gears 5, Forza Horizon 4, Hellblade, The Medium, Battlefield V and Psychonauts 2. All titles work better on the online service than the console, and even better. Can play now. Medium not available on Xbox One. In terms of in-game rendering, xCloud is closer to the Xbox Series than the Xbox Series X, which is the fault of the blur effect imposed by the redirect of the stream.
Generally, all headings go from dynamic 1080p and resolution at 30 fps to native 1080p and 60 fps. All load times on Gears 5 are reduced from 45 seconds to 7 seconds, which is one of the best-optimized topics for service.
In Forza Horizon 4, the graphic difference is not very noticeable. On the other hand, the title goes from 30 to 60 fps, which is already a nice difference in a racing game like this. The game loads almost six times faster from 1 minute 20 seconds to 16 seconds.
Xbox Cloud Gaming, in addition to the Xbox Series X’s own 1080p resolution, can also enable radiation-tracking. If you do not want to have better reflections, you can go up to 60 FPS. Charging time is four times less than 40 to 10 seconds.
Medium is hard to compare because it is not on the Xbox One! So the cloud version was compared to the Xbox Series S and the Xbox Series X, and the result was very mixed. The version of the online service is lower than that obtained on Xbox Series S. Resolution, ray-tracing and FPS, but the graphics are slightly lower in xCloud, note the book cover settings on the face of the mirror.
On Double Fine Studios’ latest baby Psychonats 2, you can now play at 60 fps, a platform game like no other. Loading times on this topic are very unique, almost ten times faster! 1 minute goes from 17 seconds to just 8 seconds.
Compared to the latest title Battlefield V. The Xbox One runs at 900p dynamics at 50-60 FPS, which is now more stable at Xbox Cloud Gaming at native 1080p, 60 FPS, load times halved and more. There is no reduction in the framerate. On the other hand, the graphic difference is not very noticeable.
Admirable performance, but not without offers
While the results are good, keep in mind that playing through this system can cause nervous breakdowns. In fact, if your internet connection is not stable, your resolution will go from 240p to 1080p which can be as fun as yoyo. While some titles are better improved than others, Gears 5 is a perfect example of a service-oriented header that, unlike the Forza Horizon 4, suffers greatly from delays between input-lock, controller and console.
Keep in mind that the service is constantly improving, and even though some games are still not playing properly, major improvements have been made over the past two years. Xbox Cloud Gaming, if you have enough connection and are always trying to find the Holy Grail, would be a big compromise: Xbox Series X.
As a reminder, integrated with xCloud Xbox Game Boss Final without additional cost.
