I would love to be able to play the full version of Madden with a controller on the go.Note: *Some versions of Project don't have an associated Microsoft account, or work or school account, or you need to redeem your product key in a different way. If I can play console-quality games on my iPad during my lunch break, then it’s quite possible I might start playing games again. I am excited to see where Microsoft Project xCloud goes in the future. Especially on the Apple Arcade side, the cost is low enough that even if you play a few hours a month, it’s worth the cost. Both services will offer something unique to gamers. It’ll be the same with Apple Arcade and Project xCloud. Both services will offer a different experience and different types of content. If you were someone who hadn’t cared about owning an iPad before, Project xCloud turns your iPad into a mobile Xbox.Īpple can still sell Apple Arcade to people who subscribe to Project xCloud just as people will easily sign up for Netflix and Apple TV+. On Apple’s end, this service makes all iOS devices a mobile console for Xbox fans. They can focus on their living room hardware while Apple and Google get to build mobile devices.
Microsoft is building a Nintendo Switch like experience without having to build and sell a portable console. All you need is an Xbox controller and fast enough internet connection.
With Microsoft Project xCloud, any iOS or Android devices effectively become a mobile version of your Xbox (once all of the games are added). It can dock with your TV, but you can easily take it with you as well. My kids got a Nintendo Switch last year, and the more I think about that system, the more genius it becomes. Project xCloud is a way to take the Xbox One experience with you. Apple Arcade is a low-cost service that has, for the most part, included games that you can pick up quickly and get right into.
Some people might think Microsoft Project xCloud for iOS is a competing service to Apple Arcade, but I don’t think it is in reality. Streaming gaming services are good for Apple
It’s amazing how quickly the map layouts and weapon locations come right back to you despite not having played the game in over a decade. I have so many memories from my college years of playing Halo with friends. The lag went up and down during the match, and I was proud that I didn’t finish dead last. This slowdown is certainly something you could attribute to the service being in beta. In playing Halo, I saw considerable lag (and was notified about network slowdown), but I was on a Wi-Fi 6 connection using a gigabit internet connection. However, Project xCloud for iOS truly is a beta. When I got access to it, I expected it to be one of those beta experiences that claimed beta but was actually really polished. Microsoft Project xCloud for iOS is really a beta Now that my kids are old enough to play games, I’ve been following the industry a bit more, and I just spent a few hours with the Microsoft Project xCloud for iOS preview that we wrote about yesterday. Once I got married and had kids, I just didn’t have the free time that I had before. I have fond memories of playing Halo at LAN parties, the first time I played Madden online, and being scared to death of Resident Evil 1 when I was in the 6th grade. I even worked at EBGames (I still don’t accept the EBGames/GameStop merger). My first game system was the NES, and the final one I personally owned was the PS2 and original Xbox.
