I’m sure the latency is still there and greater than what you’d experience playing normally via the console and your TV input, but it had no negative impact on my online gaming experiences in Overwatch, Destiny 2 and Modern Warfare.

Once it connects, you’re simply streaming your console’s display to your phone, and navigating just as you would with your normal controller on your TV or monitor.įrom a latency perspective, there’s a very clear improvement vs bluetooth connectivity.

It quite literally turns your phone into a portable Xbox.Īs I mentioned above, Xbox cloud gaming is not yet available in Australia, but I can utilise Xbox Console Streaming via the Xbox beta app, which is now available on the Google Play Store. Functionality is literally as simple as stretching it out, plugging it into your device’s USB-C port, and then wrapping the opposite side to the other end of your device. The Kishi is a match made in heaven with the core Xbox experience. And I have to say that, for the most part, the Razer Kishi is perhaps the best gaming peripheral I’ve ever owned, and is certainly something people need to seriously think about purchasing ahead of the release of the Xbox Series X on November 10.

That said, it all seemed so positive, and the sheer functionality and operational elements of this plug-and-go Android controller seemed to just work, so I thought I’d give it a shot. Broadly, the coverage seemed positive, fairly reasonable, but it was difficult to separate the genuine from the promoted. Videos were being recommended, articles were being suggested. It was perhaps a moment of pure coincidence, or maybe my browser cookies knowing exactly what I wanted, but suddenly the Kishi was more up in my face than Addison Rae whenever I boot up TikTok. I wanted so desperately to find a solution, because I was prepared to invest in this new way of Xbox gaming.īy pure chance I came across the Razer Kishi. Overall, my Xbox streaming experience was okay, and certainly cool, but it didn’t really solve the core issue for me: that was to transition my Xbox experience from my television experience to a truly on-to-go portable environment. There was also the logistical challenge: I had tried multiple controller clips, some of which worked okay, others which simply made gaming on my phone more of a chore than a genuinely fun experience. I could easily hook my controller up to my Android, and stream my console to my S9, but I couldn’t reasonably play a Competitive game in Overwatch, nor dive into a lengthy Destiny 2 strike without battling that slight albeit still obvious delay in reaction timing. Therein lied the immediate issue I faced with console streaming. But I knew of the challenges of game streaming, with latency issues a constant plague upon the house of many an inventive and curious gamer such as myself.

I’ve been using OneCast, a popular third-party app on Mac OS for quite some time, but still craved a truly portable gaming experience, one that didn’t require my using a clunking MacBook Pro.
When I first trialled Xbox console streaming - that is, streaming my console to my phone - via the Xbox Streaming Beta app, I was truly astonished at how well it worked. As an avid Overwatch player, I was admittedly jealous of Switch owners being able to play my favourite game on the train.
I knew that many Android devices supported Microsoft’s ambitious attempt at console streaming and cloud gaming (the latter is not yet currently available for Xbox in Australia), but I didn’t ever really consider it to be a viable alternative.Īdditionally, I’ve never been one to invest in or even really be interested in the Nintendo Switch as a platform in isolation, but I was intrigued about the idea behind portable gaming of current-gen AAA gaming. I didn’t expect it to work at all, and certainly didn’t expect it to work as well as it did. A few months ago I took the plunge and tried Xbox Game Streaming on my Samsung Galaxy S9.
