From the moment I started up Forza Horizon 5, drifting across Mexican deserts, to the moment I put down the controller after lobbing a chunk of TNT at a group of pixelated zombies in Minecraft Dungeons, the Xbox Game Pass app worked precisely as it was supposed to. However, the whole experience was nearly flawless - and I say “nearly” only because the interface for launching and quitting games still needs a little work.
If the response isn’t almost instantaneous, games can feel anywhere from “sluggish” to “unplayable.” There’s an Xbox server somewhere miles away, which communicates with your TV, which communicates with your controller, which communicates with your fingers - and then then whole process goes in reverse. When I first got the controller in my hand, I expected some lag or latency, especially since game streaming on a TV represents a long and complicated daisy chain of wireless technology. These games represented a wide swath of genres, from atmospheric platformers to intense first-person shooters. During my meeting, I played small chunks of Forza Horizon 5, Halo Infinite, Gears 5, Ori and the Will of the Wisps and Minecraft Dungeons.
