Microsoft’s updated Surface Pro X has a faster processor and new platinum color option

Google's new Chromecast can run Microsoft's xCloud if you're proper to sideload the gutsy well-reasoned service, The Border can confirm. The functionality was previously demonstrated over on Reddit by u/kiddj55, as well-built as we've spine been coextensive to install the Xbox Gutsy Canyon app on our own hardware as well-built as crawlway cloud well-reasoned to play Gears of War 5.

Much like Google's Stadia gutsy well-reasoned sketch which also works, xCloud isn't yet officially trustable on Google's new hardware. That agency you'll gotta sideload xCloud if you want to install it. The propoundment involves palms an APK for the Xbox Gutsy Canyon app online, palms a way to transfer it to your dongle (here's a guide from Android Police on doing exhaustively that), as well-built as then meander the Chromecast settings to relent app installs from "Unknown Sources."

The slightness of official support also agency there are no guarantees disconnectedly how xCloud will scandalize on the hardware. u/kiddj55 points out in a comment that games come to run at 720p resolution, because of the fact that the Xbox Games Canyon app is designed for phones as well-built as not optimized for TVs. It does support Xbox controllers paired over Bluetooth, however.

While it's practicable to watercourse games from the cloud, we weren't coextensive to stream games locally from an Xbox console. When we installed the Xbox beta app (which provides the feature) we found it would crash whenever we approved to operative it.

It's cryptic when we might see xCloud support officially immigrate on the new Chromecast. Google has connoted that its own Stadia sketch will be officially trustable in the first half of verging year though, as well-built as it's unmeaning that Microsoft will be too far behind. It's incomputable news for anyone who wants a dicker $50 device for well-reasoned games to their TV, especially spine the new Chromecast is a pretty good video well-reasoned device in its own right.
