I didn't use VPN and worked fine for me. Based in Ireland.

Did you change it to xCloud in the app?

Didn't change it to xCloud. I'm in Asia, checked my phone this morning and the App is gone! Refuses to download from my library and now that I've tried it's disappeared from my library also!

Update ~ Got it back, unfortunately no options available for me :<

Probably a stupid question but where can you download the apk from? There are a few apk sites out there but I'm doubtful they are real.

I got the invite, signed up via the uk route. But the app is not available in the Irish store.

Edit: went ahead and downloaded it from here: https://apkpure.com/xbox-game-streaming-preview/com.microsoft.xcloud

Seems legit but don't blame me if you've got a trojan horse!!

Played Forza horizon 4. Noticeable lag, maybe half a second. Enough to make me over compensate and make the game almost unplayable. Well no, it is playable just not enjoyable. I was all over the road.

Brave of them to stick racing games up on it though. I guess certain games will just never be suitable to streaming.

yea if anybody online on youtube or downloading ect.it can effect it, I did the stadia speed test while downloading a game on steam.it gave me 20mb it just enough for 1080p did again in a few mins gave me 40mb for 4k.

I think if your streaming you need all your speed.Im on 150mb so I should have no problems streaming but rather game on a console or pc.

Looking at upgrading to the Xbox One X in GS. Thats a great price at 290. Any clue how much I would get for a Day One Xbox One on trade from them? I know that for now at least the day one edition is no more valuable than a standard 500gb just wondering is it worthwhile trading it or will I use it as a media center on the bedroom telly and save myself the price of a Roku or Chromecast.
(And to think yesterday evening I was looking seriously at trading it in against a used One X in CEX )

€70 trade in GameStop, €99 cash in CEX.

The GameStop website now has the trade values listed on all accepted items.

Has anyone spotted any deals on 12 month live memberships for Black Friday? Are the likes of cdkeys likely to reduce prices tomorrow? Need to pick up a couple for myself and my nephew.

Does the App show which Data Centre you're connecting to?

If you're connected to the US and that's the delay you get from here, then it could be promising for the future when they enable the Ireland Data Centre.

Good point. I signed up via the UK link and put in a northern Irish post code. So I guess somewhere in the uk. But if we dont get an irish data centre then it could be as good as it gets.

I dont see anywhere that tells you your data centre.

Does anyone know how you get the 1 month free EA Access sub and 6 months of Spotify premium offer if you are subscribed to Ultimate Game pass?

I thought it was only for new subs but the offer says current subscribers as well. Xbox Ireland Twitter tweeted the offer today.

Thanks

You should have the offer on your dashboard, you may need to change your console region to UK for it to appear.

Hi
Would anyone have a code for the Fortnight pickaxe please?
My son just found out about it.
Not sure if it's something that people have spare, if so much appreciated.
Thanks

Eh, Resident Evil 2 is terrifying. Don’t think I’m going to last the whole campaign 😂

Zombies jumping through windows, weird things darting around in the shadows, zombies taking a bazillion shots to die and THEN running out of bullets.

My heart can’t take this......and apparently there’s going to be some lad chasing me in a bit?

Screw that boards.ie. SCREW. THAT.

If your playing with a headset download the Dolby Atmos app. RE2 actually supports it and it'll add more to the game.

I loved it. In my top 3 games of this year.

Edit: your better off just shooting one of the zombies legs off as it takes less bullets than killing them.

What is it with modern warfare , every time I turn on the game there’s an update. I have to delete a game every time I literally only have fifa and red dead left and barely enough room to install this latest update

Did anyone know Celtic Force? Irish guy who at one point had over taken Stalion83 and had the highest global gamerscore. I'd no interaction with the guy outside of a boosting session for a game I can't even remember through TrueAchievements and followed him there. Just heard from someone I haven't gamed with in ages that the man passed during the summer

No idea if its true but for someone with 2 million gamerscore to have been offline for 6 months isn't a good sign.

I remember the gamertag now that you mention it. Very sad to hear!

Interesting. Seems the backward compatibility is working anyway.
