My Nvidia Shield Pro is running 8.1.1 and here is how I was able to play 50 Free Xbox Games on Project xCloud:
Software needed:
- xCloud Preview APK (Push the APK from your phone or use Downloader and download this direct on your shield.
Registration:
- Fill in the form here It took me 24 hours to get my welcome email. You will need a Microsoft account to do this, if you don't have one, you can register for a new one on the same page.
Hardware:
- Minimum 10mb internet (I have ~70mbs)
- Xbox One controller / Shield gaming controller (I used Xbox one controller over bluetooth, then over USB and finally the Shield Controller - Overall, I had a more consistent experience with the Shield controller
Steps:
- Install the xCloud preview APK (I used downloader to download it directly on my device)
- Pair your controller
- Use sidelauncher to start xCloud game streaming (certain screens will be in porait mode as this software is designed for a cell phone)
- Log in using your MS account you registered for xCloud
- You will now see a library of about 50 games to start streaming
- Once in a game, press the back button and you will see an option to exit game
How well does it run?
I ran it over 5Ghz and there is a lot of pixelation. It is better over Ethernet but I still saw lots of artefacts / compression. Input lag was ok, it was there but not terrible. Certain games (Halo / general FPS's) its more noticeable as you need that quicker response. However for an initial preview, its still pretty impressive. I also tried this on my Samsung phone and it did seem to run better. FYI - the preview is capped at 720.
