Experiences
Maybe many friends have upgraded their PCs to Windows 10, experience the new features of Microsoft's latest operating system. In addition to better interface design, full platform coverage and other features, another big selling point of Windows 10 is the game: it can be linked with the xbox one game console to run xbox games on the PC through streaming.
In fact, the streaming game experience is not the first time, similar to nvidia shield, psv tv have already provided a similar experience. To put it simply, the player can project the game content to the PC upstream via the wireless network while driving the game console. For example, if there is only one TV in the house, this function becomes meaningful.
So, what about the gaming experience of Windows 10 streaming xbox one? Let's take a look at the actual experience.
More than just game streaming
First of all, you need to open the xbox app in windows 10. If you find that it can't run normally, you can try to download the latest version in the windows store, and then select the connection after opening.
The surprise is that after successfully connecting xbox one, the entire windows interface on the PC will disappear, and the xbox one interface will appear. Not only can the game application be run, other applications can also run normally, such as some video playback. software. Of course, this sounds less meaningful.
After the connection is completed, you can also select options such as picture encoding quality. Players need to make the best settings according to their own network conditions, while satisfying the clarity and smoothness.
More suitable for running stand-alone games
After trying a variety of games, I found that this feature is more suitable for running less intense game content. For example, "Rise: The Son of Rome" is not always a game with high-speed moving objects. It has a smooth running effect, and there is no obvious drop frame and delay. However, when running "fifa 15", the player's movements are somewhat lost. The frame and background sounds are obviously delayed, which is slightly disappointing.
It should be noted that the network conditions in the tester's home are actually very good. However, this situation has improved slightly after the replacement of the wired connection network.
In general, when running mainstream single-player games such as "Witcher 3" and "Batman: Arkham Knight", the overall effect is acceptable, but there are obvious problems in fluency when streaming high-speed and online games.
Summary
Streaming, cloud games may be the future of video games, but for now, network conditions are the biggest obstacle, affecting the fluency of the game to a certain extent. In addition to the network operators themselves, service providers need to constantly optimize the streaming technology to truly make similar functions more practical. Microsoft obviously needs to continuously optimize Windows 10.
