Don't Forget, Starfield Is Playable On Xbox One With Game Pass Ultimate

I feel like this is the least optimal way to try out the game, but it is what it is and I guess if you have a strong enough connection it might be something worth trying, but considering how often you have to go in and out of menu screens and transitions from one place to the next, I would expect this to run real sluggish and look pretty choppy for most individuals.

Wait until the CMA get a load of this...

The 'best' way is hard-wired through your Console as 'wi-fi' is more restrictive and can be interrupted/interfered with - so of course there are different standards of experience based on what hardware you have and/or whether you are 'hard-wired' or relying on wi-fi too.

However, its still 'cheaper' an option for those who cannot get a 'Series S/X' or a capable PC to play the game natively right now, at its 'launch' instead of 'missing out', it may well be the 'best' option they have right now and, if/when they upgrade hardware, their 'progress' will continue and they'll benefit from whatever 'improvements' each 'tier' of hardware offers...

I'm ready to play this game already, time is a beach

I'd seriously not bother if I had play it that way

My PC should be able to run it on low settings. I might try it but I'm not expecting much.

I also have Ultimate and GeForce Now. I would love to be able to play it on GFN. I haven't seen anything as to when that will happen but hopefully soon.

So, with that, streaming on my Xbox One might be the best option right now.

I'll be relying on cloud gaming for Star field (my son has staked his claim to our series X for this game). I've recently upgraded my internet connection and streaming performance has been great, though not perfect, on my Xbox One and 10 y/o surface pro 3.

@Groovicles yeah, I have done the same. I know everyone is trashing cloud streaming here, but it’s actually a good thing to have.

Before I got my Series X I used it to test a number of next gen only games on my Xbox One. And for those of us with kids, it’s great.

Recently used my old Xbox One to stream Starfield from the office when the kids had friends over and took over the Series X and S.

I’m not sure why Xbox doesn’t promote it more as it is a great feature for those on a budget.

Cloud Streaming is not available in my region even though you technically pay for it as part of the Ultimate Sub plan.

Well if doesn't ***** work on PC, that's for sure...after spending all day ***** around with it!!!!!!!!!

Spent couple hours on my Xbox One today and the only problems I had were some picture artefacts on the screen which look like scan lines and once I had to restart the game but didn’t lose any progress and for the most part was pretty happy with how things went. Amazing to be able to play this on an Xbox One even though it’s not native of course.
