Microsoft is tackling Xbox Cloud Gaming latency with real testing and tech upgrades—here’s what’s working, and why it matters.
Speaking as someone who uses xcloud, i havent really noticed much lag, if at all. I have used the service on a wide variety of devices. A VCR XBO, a One X, the logitech GCloud, steamdeck and my work PC. in all cases it just works and works really well. I was not interested at first in the idea of streaming a game, but then i really started using it as a way to gauge interest if a game is worth my time of downloading/installing and I just cant help but jump into new titles when they drop. I used to do the same with new releases on netflix so i can see why they make that similar proclimation.

It’s odd that the comparison is with the standard Steam Deck instead of the Steam Deck OLED, which has a 90Hz display. That aside, the Ayn Portal seems promising—and just to clarify, before anyone says the name is copying the PlayStation Portal, the Pimax Portal actually came first in 2023. It seems companies just really like naming their devices “Portal,” especially for handhelds.
For streaming, the Ayn Portal offers a lot... It supports Wi-Fi 7 and runs on Android, which means it has great connectivity and access to many streaming apps. You can use it for PlayStation local streaming through the PS Play app, Xbox Game Pass Cloud, Moonlight and Steam Remote for local PC streaming, GeForce NOW for PC cloud gaming, and even Antstream for retro game streaming. Plus, it’s powerful enough to run most Nintendo Switch games and other "retro" systems by means of emulation, so it offers a lot for the price.
However, early reviews have pointed out some problems. It only has Widevine L3, which means it can’t stream video content in 1080p, making it almost useless for media streaming. HDR also doesn’t seem to work at the moment. According to Ayn support, it should, but so far no one has been able to enable it.
With the recent improvement of windows emulation on Android using Winlator these kind of handheld make more sense, but i still don't get the benefit of them over Steam Deck which can run almost anything better and it's pretty cheap too.
I could them getting sued for using Portal in their name.
