    I wonder how it will be on bigger screens. Will it change the speed requirements and bandwidth?

    Your conclusion is weird and, frankly, useless. What matters is not your kills:deaths ratio, but how you did on xcloud vs on xbox.

      That would only be the case if you were trying to establish which is the better experience. To prove that it is a viable platform does not require it to be better than playing on a console.


      Thanks for giving us some real-time footage Brad.

        It’ll be the case every time a streamer plays an Xbox player. Will streamers have to be segregated from Xbox players or will streaming wilt in group play from the unfair disadvantage it has?

    So x-cloud vs x-cloud players would be good, but x-cloud against PC or Xbox would suck because of latency. It'll be interesting to see how it plays out on the PC with bigger screens. I can't see myself playing shooters on a phone, to small.
