[BRiT]

Here is what the beta app looks like, so the android app @rumaki was using likely didn't have the xCloud functionality. There is a separate section for streaming labled "cloud":

I think so too but you never know. Hopefully they added NFC to it or its a no go for me. Maybe I will get one free

i actually have the update but if you select "cloud" and then select say, "Forza Horizon 4" it still goes to install on your PC or console. thats ok, growing pains are expected. NBD

Thats not what I see/experience. Mine shows a "Play" button. Selecting it launches the stream.

Been playing some Gears 5 and MCC on my Galaxy S10. Holy shit this is neat! Sure the input lag is noticeable, but just playing those type of games on my phone is something I would have never imagine I could do.

I have the same experience.

Really considering the Kishi, but I want a bigger phone before I do. Probably get a cheap clip first.

not gaming however.

You can only game on one device at a time. But with this beta you could have netflix on your xbox one going under your profile while playing a game on your phone with xcloud

Completely understandable. Wasn't expecting that, but would being able to still use the Xbox on non-games while I'm gaming on the phone/tablet.

So in semi-related news Epic pulled a move today.. They released an updated version of Fortnite that circumvented Apple's payment rules, Apple then pulled Fortnite from the app store. Epic then launched pr campaign/sued Apple.
