Project XCloud looks very good

When David came round last week he showed us some Xbox games running on his Samsung phone. Not directly of course, but via Project XCloud. This is presently in Preview and David had managed to join the preview program. Once he had connected to our WiFi and paired an Xbox controller with his phone we were able to see a perfect rendition of Forza Horizons running smoothly on his tiny device. It just worked. I had a quick go at driving and it seemed as responsive as the local version.

Of course we are quite lucky in Hull, what with our high performance fibre internet everywhere, but hopefully it will work as well in less well connected regions. It looked very good. It even inspired me to spend some more time in the Forza universe, which was great fun as usual. There’s nothing like going sideways down a frosty road at great speed in a top of the line BMW. I sat down for “a quick drive” and got up two hours later…..
