Often with Stadia, i can hardly tell it's not local. For cloud gaming, input lag is one of the biggest issues and Stadia / GFN have it down quite nicely but here Xbox Cloud Gaming has problems. The games look quite good and seem to perform well enough but wow - that is some serious input lag.

A little less so with GeForce NOW (GFN) as the game performance varies wildly there and so I was keen to try out Xbox Cloud Gaming (xCloud) but sadly, it's currently pretty laughable. Pictured - Rainbow Six Siege on Linux with xCloudĪs someone who uses cloud gaming quite often, I've been really impressed with the technical side of Stadia overall. Anything Chromium-based however, appears to perform quite well. Firefox, for example, works but it's pretty much a slideshow and so completely unplayable in my testing. Testing with Chrome, Chromium, Edge and Firefox - they all work, although the experiences differs. We now have yet another serious entry into cloud gaming / game streaming with Microsoft formally launching Xbox Cloud Gaming (xCloud) for everyone with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and it works out of the box on Linux.
