1. Device like Steam Deck, Asus ROG Ally etc., playing downloaded games.
2. 'Empty' streaming device very similar to PlayStation Portal, playing games downloaded on your XSX remotely over the network.
3. Xbox Cloud Gaming device, playing games streamed over the network.
Advantage for Microsoft of the third option is that users would require a Game Pass subscription, so could help retain existing subscribers as well as providing a cheap way in to Game Pass for newcomers. Some of the streaming issues experienced by PlayStation Portal users when away from home would be mitigated by having the games streamed directly from MS's servers. Anyway, just a thought.
@darylb24 Agreed! I’m also really hoping that with FS2024 the devs solve the problem of erratic download speeds (often crawling to a halt) of in-game downloadable content and updates.
