I hate playing on mobile, so I don't even bother using cloud streaming for that. The only time I've used xCloud is on my PC when I've gotten Game Pass Ultimate vouchers from some deal, otherwise I'll just subscribe to PC Game Pass for a month or two whenever I don't have many games I'm wanting to play on Steam. Which even then, the Xbox app that you use for PC Game Pass has been a terrible experience for years now lol.
But I have not had a favorable experience either. My PC is hardwired with an average of 80-100 Mbps and the longest I've had of it being an actual smooth experience as advertised, was about 30 seconds lol. Audio cutting in and out, frame skipping, dips below 60fps even though we're supposed to be running the Series X versions of these games, and input lag is unbearable. It'd be hard to imagine that we're not at least 5 years away from cloud streaming being consistently decent, and a decade away from it being a viable alternative for the masses.
It's cool the thought that you can immediately start playing console games on any mobile device, web browsers, smart TVs, and even in the Xbox app on PC, but the tech to properly support these kinds of ambitions just don't seem to be there yet.
