I wonder how well it works. I tried Stadia with mouse and keyboard and the teeny tiny bit of input lag did not feel good with a mouse.

Yeah it was awful with stadia, and from my personal experience stadia worked much better than xcloud.

Geforce now is amazing. Much better image quality(video stream), on top of running on pc(so better graphics and fps). It is obviously more expensive(and doesnt come with any free games) but you do get what you pay for.

The microsoft cloud is "almost kinda working"/"this is neat" while geforce now "wow, i guess cloud gaming is the future". Now if only nvidia could persuade sony and japanese devs to release their games on geforce now(though dragons dogma 2 was, which was surprising).

I have to note that sometimes, the loading times on geforce now can be long, this is not normal and varies. Sometimes load times are normal, sometimes are fucky. I think geforce now has become more popular lately and this has caused some issues. Also if a game is really cpu dependent(like dragons dogma 2), the geforce now cpus arent that great.

Another issue is that since games often use weird launchers and drm, this can cause issues. But eventually these issues are resolved.

Game changer for people who can't stand controllers, and for all the great non controller designed games on games pass. Can't wait!

Damn nice! I left Game Pass Ultimate for the lack of this since I'm a Linux user. This could definitely bring me back lol

Very excited about this. Some strategy games are a pain to play with the controller (Cities: Skylines, Stellaris, Dune: Spice Wars).
