This is the battle you've been waiting for. Google Stadia versus Xbox Project X Cloud. Who has the better Game Streaming service? Let's find out. So Google Stadia is finally here. It's official. You can get it. I have one. You can go buy it now. But I've also been using Project X Cloud for quite a bit of time. Now both of them are streaming services that give you the ability to stream your games to your mobile device or in case of Stadia. You can stream to your TV through a Chromecast. You can stream on Chrome browser, you don't need a desktop or your laptop or Chromebook Go. And also your smartphone which is currently limited to a pixel device. So a pixel 4, pixel 3, pixel 4x cell and so on and so forth. So what do we have with the Google Stadia? Now when you get the Founders Edition which results for $129, you get a controller. You get a Chromecast Ultra. A specific one that works specifically for Stadia here. You get a charger, some cables and boom that's all you have. Now the controller itself is a mixed hybrid between the PlayStation controller and an Xbox controller. It's got a Stadia button which is kind of like your home button that shows you all your different stats. You also have a Google Assistant button which doesn't work right now. And I won't mention the a few features that just don't work at launch and which is fine. I get it. Those things happen. But the controller feels comfortable. I think you get used to it. I just don't personally like the thumbsticks in that PlayStation setting. It's just not my style. So take it as you will but I think the controllers are solid. Now the controller connects to of course either your smartphone, your laptop or your Chromecast. And to set up the controller you have to use the app on your smartphone. Everything with Stadia centers around the mobile experience. I'll again say it again. It centers around the mobile experience. If you're playing Stadia on your TV or your playing on the Chrome browser and you want to buy a game you have to buy it off the mobile app. That's where everything houses are there. Now speaking of games, Stadia comes with 22 games. You get two games free and the two games I got were Destiny. Destiny is two kind of like special edition and Samurai show now. Now both games I was able to play both them on my Chrome browser immediately. And I'd still notice some glitchness and some slowdowns. It does look good. I'll see the games look at about 1080p resolution max and especially playing on the TV where Google promised 4K60. I have not got 4K60 yet. Tomb Raider looks the best but it also looked like a high 1080p game. Now speaking of some other features that of course you have with Stadia is the fact that yeah you can play those games and you can switch from your TV to your Chromebook to your phone instantaneously. So playing Tomb Raider shot of the Tomb Raider on my TV once I switched over to my Chromebook go. It paused on the TV and I just have to continue on my Chromebook go. So it's a very simple seamless experience. Now playing on your TV usually will control. The funny thing about it is that that's the only time you have a wireless setup to play of course Google Stadia. If you're playing on a smartphone or you're playing on your PC it is a tetted experience when you're playing on your smartphone or if you're playing on a Chrome browser. Now a couple of things to mention here before we take a look at what project X-Cloud does differently here right. So what about latency? How do games run? How does it feel on Stadia? I will tell you my experience has been a little bit mixed. My internet speeds are 75 up and 75 down which should be fine according to Google specs and I will say when playing games like Mortal Kombat 11 there are certain points where I had just random slowdowns that happen especially while playing a fighting game can be annoying. Same thing also playing with Destiny. It was really twitchy with the controls. It was better with mouse and keyboard than with the controller even though it was 10 and in. So that's something to take note but I still felt some of the twitchyness there. Tomb Raider actually ran probably the best of all the games there. Now when you look at Project X-Cloud we've seen that I have a video about that you can go check it out but what Project X-Cloud brings to the table is the ability to stream games from Microsoft Server directly to your smartphone. X-Cloud is only limited to mobile devices and on the Android ecosystem for now Microsoft has said that it would expand to of course the iPad and more devices as they move along. But what Project X-Cloud comes with 50 games. The process is pretty simple. You're signing with your Xbox accounts and you've got access to a ton of games and Microsoft said they will be adding more games as months go ahead. So that's already a clear difference between a stadium which has two free games and you have to pay for games. And most of these games are much older when you see already from Project X-Cloud off the bat. The extra benefit from Project X-Cloud is you can stream directly from your Xbox console. So if you like me you have an Xbox at home. You can go ahead and switch to Xbox streaming and stream directly from your Xbox at home all the games you have on your Xbox. Now if you also have Xbox Game Pass then you have a huge library to stream from as well. So you have the ability to stream games that are from Game Pass to your phone and play anywhere. Now Xbox streaming on Project X-Cloud is actually really good. I got to play Call of Duty Modern Warfare which is a new game which you can't play on Google Stadia. On my smartphone my Galaxy S10 Plus streaming. I played multiplayer. I died a lot but it worked well and I didn't notice any negligible slowdowns whatsoever. Now just to let you know Project X-Cloud is set at 720p on a mobile experience. That's what Microsoft said. But it looks pretty good. I also got to play some Fock-Pri 5 as well and that handled quite well and finally played some Mortal Kombat 11 and I didn't experience slowdowns there. Now playing of course Project X-Cloud games from the Microsoft server. I played a ton of games in my previous video. Fortes of Horizon, Gears 5, Halo 5. Now I will say Gears 5 is the only game that had the most amount of latency issues especially with audio syncing. Now there's one key difference with both devices here. When we take a look at streaming Tomb Raider, shot on the Tomb Raider on both Stadia and Project X-Cloud on Stadia, it runs really well. You're streaming on Wi-Fi and you can see the resolution is about 720p-ish also on the Pixel 4 and everything ran pretty well. Now on Project X-Cloud also running at 720p. This is streaming from the X-Cloud servers. Ran pretty well as well on Wi-Fi and also when I switch to LTE the one thing I'll note is that it will kind of take it out and take it back in. They haven't fixed that yet because it's a beta but you can play the game on LTE and the experience is really similar depending on your LTE connection. So that of course will come into play. But this is also something that X-Cloud has over Google Stadia. Google Stadia does not allow LTE gameplay on Wi-Fi. So if you're on Wi-Fi and if your Wi-Fi want to go on Wi-Fi and play you cannot do that currently in Google Stadia. I'm sure that will come in. Now you're probably wondering okay so what are the key differences? Stadia looks good. The games played fairly well. Some games had laggy issues. Some games did not. So what's the difference here? Well the very first thing is Stadia is a paid service. As I mentioned it's 129 for the founders edition and it's 999 a month for 4K60 streaming. Now you're going to get that first three months for free but some time in January February you will be paying 999 a month. The thing here I'm not seeing is that I haven't seen 4K60 at any point in time that I've been playing with Rude Stadia and hopefully that will come but it is not there available. And Stadia has the ability to play on multiple devices like your Mac, Bulk, your PC. Along with you have Chrome browser, your TV and your pixel device while Project XCloud is limited to just Android phones and tablets right there. But Project XCloud has more games and its cost is much much much minimal. As long as you have Xbox Live Gold which is cheaper than 129 you do have the ability to go ahead and start playing Xbox games which are more than what you have with Stadia. So there you have it. I think overall both services are good. I do like Project XCloud more because it's a beta and it's free and Stadia is also a beta. Let's just be honest. This is not a full-flute service. I know it will get better but right now Google is lagging behind than a beta service with its full-flute service. So hopefully that changes. But what are your thoughts guys? Who has Stadia who also has Project XCloud? What are your experiences? Let me know.
