    In terms of achievement hunting, I wanna shout out Halo Wars 2 and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge. Halo Wars 2, especially the DLC, has a bunch of "win" achievements that can be idled by setting up a match in your favor. Leader power achievements are a grind that's good for on-the-go progress. I believe you can save whenever in Campaign too so if you need to close out you won't lose anything. As for Turtles, you can play Story mode level by level so you can quit at a moment's notice, and you have to max level all characters which is a terrible grind better suited for on-the-go moments than sitting down at your console.

    Elder Scrolls Online might be another good shout, it is a large ass download and you might come out ahead data-wise playing through Cloud as opposed to downloading and constantly updating the full game.
    I was playing Halo Wars on it, the units are a bit small for my screen. The touch controls weren't nearly fast enough, either.

    Not a bad option with a controller and one of those screen enlargers, I'd wager.
    State of the badass art.

    I want to try XCloud on a tablet. Any one you recommend that is not an ipad? I don't like apple products.

    I mean how much do you want to pay? Tablets are all about the screen and being compact. If you want the best screen I’m not sure anyone is doing what Apple is doing for under $1000.

    If you want as cheap as possible I’m not sure what to recommend, probably a laptop with a touch screen and hinges that fold it into a screen only format is your best bet.

    You can get something junky like a Kindle Fire and jailbreak it since you don’t need the actual tablet hardware to do much, but the resolution is likely to be pretty unpleasant.

    It’s not well known but Apple does sell refurbs of their own products and it does save several $100 on something like an iPad that came out in the past 2-3 years.

    I assume you want touch controls so casting your phone to your 4K TV is probably not what you want to do.

    Thanks for your answer. I prefer android devices because of the hassle to deal with Apple IDs and so. I had one iPhone in the past and its a no no for mesince then. I would say I expect to get a good product under $1000, just don't know if anyone recommends a tablet for Xcloud -> Gaming (not 3D hardcore stuff, I have a PC for that) -> watching netflix -> Do some work with Office or similar. I guess what I want is an all-around neat tablet that doesn't hangs because low RAM and have a good screen for under $1000.

    The row of recently added, in the game pass app, starts to become short. Becomes time they add new stuff.

    I tried streaming Scorn and it was unplayable. And this is coming from someone who plays games in 30 fps still. I'm getting fiber internet next week so hopefully that fixes things...
    Scorn worked fine for me mostly, only encountered lag a handful of times. Textures would pop in occasionally but aside from that I had no issues. My internet isn't anything special either but is fibre, so hopefully that helps you.
    Stoke me a clipper, I'll be back for Christmas... Whatever!

    Monster Train belong on this list. It may not be as incredible as Slay the Spire, but it is incredible for cloud gaming for the same reasons Slay the Spire is.

    I had over 30 seconds lag the other day just streaming from my Xbox to my laptop with both devices in the room next to the router - although admittedly I'm on "Superfast Fibre" (which is actually Techno-babble for "Super-slow non-fibre that uses 19th century technology"). I can't wait until August when they finally turn the fibre internet on in my area.

    Weirdly, my PC can stream roughly the equivalent of 4K @ 90fps (which is about 12 times the amount of data of 1080p@30fps) to my Quest 2 without any lag or dropped frames so I seriously doubt my network is causing this issue on Xbox. I can only imagine that the Xbox is streaming across the internet for no reason whatsoever. But, despite that, it's still the best streaming service by far!
