How to Join

Drop your Xbox gamertag in the comments or DM me directly.
First come, first served until all 16 spots are filled.

Just kidding but seriously low ping 0 ms, 1ms, 2ms.
But the quality is not that amazing.
I’m using my laptop with Ethernet (100Mbps) and wired controller.
Also there are two different streaming option settings for Fire Stick 4K and windows Xbox app have you guys noticed?
And obviously the quality on fire stick looks much better even on 1080p tv but it’s wireless so there is delay

CloudGear v2.0 is the biggest update since launch, and it's out now on the App Store. It's the release that takes CloudGear off the phone: there's now a CloudGear app for Apple TV.

Thanks to everyone who ran the public beta since June. All the feedback we received was instrumental in getting v2.0 to where it is today.

CloudGear for Apple TV

Browse and launch games on your iPhone or iPad exactly as you do today, then play them on your Apple TV in up to 4K with HDR10 and 7.1 surround sound. It's the first app to bring GeForce NOW, Xbox Cloud Gaming, Amazon Luna and Boosteroid to Apple TV together.

It's included with your CloudGear unlock. One subscription or lifetime purchase covers your iPhone, iPad and Apple TV, so there's nothing extra to buy.

Setup takes about a minute: install CloudGear on your Apple TV, enter the six-digit code it shows into CloudGear on your iPhone or iPad, and the two stay paired from then on. It's a companion app rather than a standalone one: your iPhone or iPad does the browsing, the signing in and the launching, and your Apple TV plays the game.

There are two ways to play:

• Hand-Off is the default. The game moves onto your Apple TV and runs there natively, for the lowest possible latency. Once it's handed off you can lock your iPhone or put it down entirely, and play with a game controller, the Siri Remote touchpad, or a Steam Controller.
• Tethered keeps your iPhone or iPad connected and relays input, so a keyboard and mouse plugged into it drive the game on the TV. tvOS can't connect to a mouse at all, so this is the only way to play with one on the big screen. It's the mode for strategy games and MMORPGs.

One thing worth knowing before you set it up: controllers pair to the Apple TV itself, not to your phone.

Full Steam Controller support

Valve's new Steam Controller is now a first-class input device on iPhone, iPad and Apple TV (and we believe this makes CloudGear the first third-party app on any platform to introduce full support for it). The original 2015 Steam Controller is supported too.

Pair it once in your device's Bluetooth settings and CloudGear picks it up automatically from then on, across every service. It works as a gamepad with the right trackpad as a precise mouse, with full rumble and trackpad haptics.

The part worth trying is Keyboard & Mouse mode. Every button, stick and trackpad can be remapped to any key or mouse action, which makes keyboard-and-mouse-only games playable with just a controller: map the left stick to WASD, aim with the trackpad, and so on. Press the QAM button to switch modes mid-game.

Virtual Mouse

No mouse and no controller? Virtual Mouse drives a mouse pointer using touch gestures alone: click, drag, right-click and scroll. It's available on GeForce NOW and Boosteroid, and can also be driven from a DualSense or DualShock touchpad.

Plus:

• New performance overlay showing bitrate, frame rate, ping, jitter and packet loss over the stream, toggled from the in-game menu.
• New Anti-deadzone setting. Games usually ignore a small area around the centre of each thumbstick, which leaves the stick slow to respond; this cancels that out so aiming stays responsive.
• New Xbox button shortcut that virtually presses the Guide/Xbox/PS button that iOS and tvOS block on a physical controller.
• Faster, lower-latency video rendering, with colour accuracy fixes for HDR and 10-bit streams.
• New app-wide volume slider (Settings > Audio) that sets the stream's volume independently of the system volume.
• New icon size slider for the bookmark grid, and a new "Disable top-edge swipe" setting for the menu bar.
• Fixed 5.1 and 7.1 surround always being downmixed to stereo instead of driving multichannel hardware such as an HDMI receiver.
• Fixed the mouse pointer sometimes failing to lock after switching apps.
• Fixed the microphone indicator staying lit after a session had ended.
• GFN: New Auto resolution picks the best option GeForce NOW offers for the screen you're actually playing on, whether that's your device's screen, an external display, or a paired Apple TV.
• Boosteroid: Fixed left and right modifier keys (Shift, Ctrl, Alt) being sent as the wrong side.
• Renamed "Connection Stats" to "Stream Details".
• Miscellaneous bug fixes and other improvements.

I was trying to play mw3 on my Odin 3 and I have been having a problem finding a controller that works. So far I have only tried mw3 using my 8bitdo but the right thumbstick isn't working I'm not sure if it's a problem with the app or the controller. Any suggestions?

Tem alguma forma de conseguir o Bonus semanal do console SEM UM CONSOLE, pode ser uma pergunta besta mas vai q tem uma forma né 🤷🏾‍♂️

Hola qué tal, quería saber por qué cuando abro rocket league me abre el juego de fornite? Tengo game pass ultimate, por las dudas también agregué el juego a mi biblioteca ya que es gratis pero no hay caso, que puede ser?

Hi All,

I sometimes play games on my office PC on my breaks. Was previously running a nearly 10 year old Dell PC, and we have BT business broadband but not massively fast, 76mb download etc. Never had any problems with lagging, it was slightly delayed like I think all xcloud is(?) but never had any massive issues and could play single player games no issues.

We have been upgraded, new PCs (refurbed but still a lot faster etc), but we have had a new router connected to our old BT router (firewall router?), and when I went to play after it had been installed, I was getting massive lagging almost 2-3 seconds delay. I turned on the stats overlay and it didn't look like I was dropping frames, and ping and latency was solid and didn't seem to be fluctuating, and there also wasn't any noticeable packet loss. I tried changing some settings, dropping the quality down etc, but nothing seemed to change things, it was still lagging quite bad. Any ideas what could be causing this? I assumed the new router/firewall, but I am by no means an expert on this!

EDIT: Editing to include more details. Device is a Lenovo 11BM0016UK, Windows 11. I have tried on both Xbox.com/play, and on the Xbox App. No other browser extensions. I am in the UK.

Since the new Xbox console update, it is possible to see cloud synchronization information if the game is installed, but not yet if the game has only been played via the cloud. As of today, it is easier to access all the saved game information in the cloud through the Xbox mobile app.

Has anyone tried how cloud sync management works through the console?

Do you think it will finally be possible to have all the information unified across both console and PC?
