The Carpool

  • Todd Oxtra @toxtra - Now that Xbox is making headphones and high end controllers, will we see their version of the BackBone or Razer Kishi for Cloud Streaming on the go?
  • Brendan Myers @The_WinterGamer - With Xcloud working really well(in my experience) and once Xcloud starts running off of series X infrastructure and Xcloud makes its way to consoles, will gamers with One S and X be able to play series s games?
  • Blaze Knight @BlazeKnight0923 - Do you think that Cloud streaming on PC will be a game changer for you or just a nice feature for other people?
  • Seumas MacIsaac @FamousSeumas - Here's a fun question. You have to clean your entire home for spring cleaning. Just when you're about to start cleaning, you get a message from your Xbox saying it'll send a character to help you clean your house. Which character do you choose?(It doesn't have to belong to Xbox)
  • Gary Gray @ItsOnlyGary - I recently got the 8bitdo xbox controller for android. Since I've had it I've been disappointed by the controller not working properly and Xcloud now has a problem where the screen isn't fitting my phone right.  Have you guys had many difficulties with Xcloud and do you really believe that the tech is ready for the general public?
