So I really like playing this game. It turns out to be cleaner than the game is it self on Xbox. It’s really fun to play games on payout mobile device and connect your controller. But everytime I play cloud gaming on the app it gives me like 10 min unites to play and then it closes out. I have to close the app and then go back into it again. It’s annoying because when I’m playing Fortnite it just shuts down and says somthing about that’s the time limit for a free trial. I think if you gave us more time to play on cloud gaming I would probably play it a lot more and it would get 5 stars. But this is the only improvement I think you guys should fix.

I could see giving xbPlay 5 stars except for one thing. XbPlay provides a very smooth, nearly lag free, remote play experience between my Steam Deck or iPhone and my Xbox Series X. It even includes pretty good touch screen controls on the iPhone. In those respects, the experience is way superior to remote play through Microsoft’s Xbox app for iOS which can get pretty choppy. Unfortunately, when my Xbox is in stand-by mode and the TV is off, xbPlay will connect to my console, but only shows a black screen. I can hear UI clicks as I navigate around, but can’t see anything on my iPhone or Steam Deck until I turn everything on in my entertainment center including the TV. Once I do that, xbPlay displays fine on my remote device, but that kind of defeats the purpose of remote play. In this regard, Microsoft’s app is superior because I don’t need to be home to use it. The MS app connects to and displays what’s on Xbox while in stand-by mode, whether or not the TV is on. So I can use the MS app from anywhere, but can only use xbPlay app if I’m at home and can turn the TV on. Still okay for sitting out on my porch and playing I guess, but only two stars for now unless I find out there is a fix.

Since the update last week Microsoft has made cloud play web based and held the time it doesn’t work or it puts you into a login loop or is just plain unstable. XBPlay just works… it somehow pairs with the Xbox app, has all of your games including game pass games (if a Subscriber) all conveniently listed with a search option. Not only that, there are dozens of options for on screen controls, streaming quality, resolution, mods, shaders, and much more. It is also really cheap for the stability you get, only 10$ or you can pay something like 4$ a month. Download MOW if you enjoy streaming over either WiFi at home OR via the cloud!
