Now that Xcloud, or Xbox Cloud Gaming, is starting to converge user experiences whether from the web app version or the PC app version, the question remains: what will happen to the Remote Play option in the future?

I have found that launching Remote Play from a PC does not display the same launch message as from the Xbox web app. While the web app refers to connecting to the console, the PC app has changed its terminology and connects to Cloud Gaming as if connecting to the console from a PC were a thing of the past.

How do you see it? Is it simply two Xbox teams working in parallel, or will the Remote Play option with the arrival of Helix only be for "older" consoles?

I built an open-source xCloud client for the Switch — sign in with your Microsoft account, browse your Game Pass library, and stream at 720p/1080p, 60 fps, handheld or docked.

It's all native: WebRTC on-console, hardware H.264 decoding (NVDEC) and zero-copy GPU rendering (deko3d). No PC relay, no companion apps.

You'll need Atmosphère and an active Game Pass Ultimate subscription (it's just a client for a service you pay for — nothing shady). Copy the NRO to
sdmc:/switch/ and launch in title mode (hold R starting any installed game).

I already managed to change my Windows settings [dragging "English (United States)" to the top of the "Preferred languages" list] which makes achievements in the Xbox app display in English BUT unfortunately achievement notifications are still displayed in my native language for some reason.

I did not encounter this problem during 360 games.

I was able to play ARK ASA initially for a few days , I saved my progress, and saved backup in game as well and exited the game properly.

However, now I can get it to log in, but the game/stream crashes almost immediately upon logging in to my saved game. It's able to get to the main menu, search servers, even download mods - it's actually playing the game that seems to kill it.

DETAILS:

I have a 200Mbps stable connection, I am playing in chrome browser, on macbook air m4 device, OS version: 26.5.1 (25F80)

can someone please help?
