"Over the past week, I've been using Nvidia's new RTX 5080 GeForce Now tier. Nvidia's cloud gaming service has been the best on the market for years now, and this upgrade makes it even better. I've been playing Cyberpunk 2077, Overwatch 2, and Silksong, and it's genuinely comparable to my own PC. The upgrade is also a staggering reminder of just how far behind Xbox Cloud Gaming is, both in stream quality and latency - two key components for streaming games from the cloud."
"Xbox Cloud Gaming started off as Project xCloud in 2019, promising to bring streaming Xbox games to mobile devices and tablets. In the early days of xCloud, it was largely an add-on for Game Pass subscribers and a way to fend off competition from Google's Stadia service. Six years later, Xbox Cloud Gaming is now a key offering in Microsoft's mission to bring Xbox games to as many devices as possible."
Nvidia's RTX 5080 GeForce Now tier delivers significant upgrades, producing near-PC quality and enabling play of demanding titles like Cyberpunk 2077, Overwatch 2, and Silksong. GeForce Now has led cloud gaming for years and the new tier improves stream quality and latency. Xbox Cloud Gaming lags behind in stream quality and latency, two critical components for cloud streaming. Microsoft needs a stronger cloud infrastructure to support an Xbox everywhere strategy. Xbox Cloud Gaming began as Project xCloud in 2019 and evolved from a Game Pass add-on and a Stadia competitor into a core offering to bring Xbox games to many devices. There are signs of an upcoming upgrade.
