Not only should the new hardware improve the quality of the visuals on display for streaming but also it should help with other things like loading times and input latency as well - all things that will make the cloud experience even better than it already is.

I was pretty down on Microsoft's streaming when it first came to Android devices, it was laggy and I often had problems with the image quality, but it has come on leaps and bounds recently to the point where I'm currently playing games entirely using streaming without even thinking about it

Not sure the Switch is a step up.

The one time I’ve tried it, it wasn’t that great if I’m honest. On my iPad the image quality was decent but I had a lot of input lag that’d make playing anything a bit of a chore.

When did you try it and what kind of connection were you on?

I was in one of the beta tests for the Android version ages ago and it was not a particularly flattering experience - the image quality was poor and it was very laggy. But recently it has been much improved in my experience and the lag is only ever present if I'm connected to a 2.4GHz signal.

No idea what signal I was on, but the iPad was reading a steady 3 bars on the WiFi. I should try it again at some point to be fair, might have improved somewhat anyway. What Series console are they upgrading to? Presume it’ll be the S?

I believe the servers are getting upgraded to their bespoke units based on the Series X:

That’s good, presumed it’d have been the S to save on bandwidth a little.

Launching into Game Pass this summer -



Lemnis Gate is a turn-based, combat strategy FPS introducing revolutionary 4D gameplay. It is turn-based thinking meets skilful shooting over five time-twisting rounds across four different game modes. You will take control of a team of operatives who battle across various planets near to Earth. At the start of each 25 second round you’ll pick one of seven operatives with a unique set of skills. Whatever actions you take within that round are then locked in and repeat each round until the end of the match. Gameplay and abilities will be familiar to those who’ve played FPS games in the past, however the 25 second time loop adds a new twist that allows you to harness the power of time as you fight and innovate across past, present, and future simultaneously, making strategy just as important as skill.

Here’s the really cool part: In subsequent turns you’ll interact with past versions of yourself – and your opponent – directly. Will you aim to defend previous instances of your own operatives? Or fight to remove enemies from the battlefield? Before making your decision, plan your plays between rounds by utilising the reconnaissance drone. The drone offers a bird’s-eye view of the map so you can keep track of the action. Be warned, though, because your opponent will be doing exactly the same.

Great that it’s coming to Game Pass. I started a thread about it that proved to be wildly popular, so it’s good that people will be able to try it.

So good, such a perfect fit, that it makes me wonder if they thought of the pun and it inspired the whole game.
