Dude really said thank you guys at the end of the video. No, thank YOU, my guy. I almost went through the official method and greenlight all over again after RMAing my Deck. Thank goodness I found this video right before I began! 🎉
Thanks for sharing. I recently used the workaround approach, which worked until the app updated. Sure, I could just go through the process again to get it working, but this seems like a much simpler, plug and play solution. Will give it a go.
This just works flawlessly! Of course you can go the more manual route, but for me, the ease of use is worth the small cost. Thank you for show casing this!
Holy crap this is a god send. I was struggling for hours today trying to get cloud gaming to work on my brand new oled SD, and I couldn’t get it to work. Tried your video, the Microsoft site. Maybe I’m just an idiot 😂. I’ll have to test this tomorrow.
im hoping with all the news recently about Xbox and what they will be doing with games that an official easy access app for game pass on steam deck is in the works at least I agree its nuts it doesn't already exist surely it cant be that difficult or time consuming to make for potentially alot of profit?
@@wrathcaster2555 hey buddy i was trying to connect my ps5 remote play on the deck however it wont let me paste my psn id i tried using my keyboard which i connect via blutooth and the steam deck regular copy and paste and nutting pasted... any suggestions
Lately, I've been using the nested desktop in gaming mode to remote play via Greenlight to my xbox. I would like to see how greenlight compares to this app.
I’ve bought the app but when I’m trying to log in it’s saying an error occurred while processing your request then gives a long reference number, anyone else having the same issue? I just got it when I tried one or the work around ways as well :/
@@GameTechPlanetthat's more of what I meant. That's the only thing I can't seem to run natively without a lot of hassle. I bought the $1.00 2 week trial thing alongside xbplay, but I'd prefer to not have to pay for a subscription to game pass.
Unfortunately the description is simply inaccurate. You need an Xbox console to use this program. You cannot just have a Game Pass subscription and stream games from the cloud. I know it's just $6 but it's an awful feeling to not be able to use the product & having paid for a subscription service just to test XBPlay enough to confirm a console is required.
Hey man quick question. When I login I can use my Gamepad to select my games. I’m using remote play. I can choose my game with my game pad but when I get in the game I can’t use the game pad to play. Any tips???
Correct. On same network your limitations and performance are tied to your local hardware and router. When on a different network it chanhes and is going over the internet.
This exactly. Idk how he’s getting it to work outside of his home network. ALL of the subreddit for this App cannot get Remote Play to work on this app.
So remote play you dont need gamepass. Just streaming your console. If you have a Gamepass ultimate subscription that includes cloud gaming which you his app also has built in.
I have gamepass for PC (not the ultimate version). Both remote and cloud play didn't work. If your country support gamepass ultimate, then you should be able to use xbplay cloud play function.
I’m using this exact app, I can ONLY use Remote play when I’m on the SAME network. I cannot Remote play when I’m out of my home network. How’re you getting it to work on a different network?!?!?
@@amberdelaquart5197 that would be awesome. If you remember let me know here how it goes. I was remote playing Diablo 4 from my series s to the steam deck last night and it was great.
Is it any better then doing the microsoft edge work around? Id love to get a better graphic output then what edge does its compression reminds me of like 2010 youtube
Is there a way to use voice party chat with this app? Plugging into steam decks aux or Bluetooth shows like it SHOULD work but I can’t get it to, XBPlay has options for audio but I feel like I’m missing something. Has anyone found a workaround ?
Thanks for the comment and the quick help man, much appreciated! Just to be clear, can I remote play on my steam deck without having my Xbox on and even while on the road somewhere as long as WiFi is stable ?
I need to test the xbplay app on steamos away from my home network to be sure. I will do that today when I get home. You can also remote play your Xbox with your phone, tablet or windows pc with official approval that will work on any network for sure. Your Xbox at home needs to be set for remote play in the settings. I have had times away from home where it was working great on my laptop then all the sudden Xbox doesn’t wanna connect anymore. Rare but happens. The xbox turns itself on and off for remote play. Also remember theres no “ official “ support on Steamos for Xbox remote play so this all hinges on things continuing to work lol. Just like alot other Deck stuff.

Yea. I ised withbmy one x. Those consoles have basically the same remote play feature. If for some reason u have troubles steam has been great about refunds under 2 hours.
For me remote play has far too poor connection quality. I have a 500 Mbps connection also, second highest speed spectrum offers my home. Do I just need a new router ⁉️ seems most everyone I talk to has even slower speeds than me, so who is remote play for if no one has enough Internet speed to use it
Had many issues with Spectrum's internet when I was subscribed to them. I switched to a local company that provides fiber optic and all of my issues are now gone. Not saying that switching ISPs will definitely help you, but it was an IMMEDIATELY noticeable difference for me. I was paying for gig speeds on Spectrum and my 500mbps fiber speeds are much faster and absolutely more consistent.
I've been using this app for two days and it works pretty good. There's only one game that I can't play so far. It disconnects the app after about a minute. Other than that it works great and there's little input lag. I'll be using it to play through single player games and a few games online. I was just about to order a separate cloud gaming system. Now if they make a PS version I'd be set.
Nope, I've tried them all (unless there is some secret app i dont know about) and had the lowest latency with XBPlay for sure... by default the app optimizes for pictures quality, so if u want lower latency, u can adjust the settings for that.
@@trash_gamer143 not want to promote or anything but it's called greenlight and I am using it flawlessly (checked that latency). So with that i'm not sure xbplay better than it but definitely sure better that native remote play app
Why is it that a third party had create an app that we’ve all been wanting for years now?

How do you get it to work outside the house?
I never knew this app existed and I forgot Steam has software you can buy! I’m going to give this a try tomorrow thank you so much!
So glad I came across this video. I was using greenlight for my steam deck OLED. This is so much better then greenlight. Thank you.
Is it really? I'm considering to get it because greenlight feels like 720p or lower to me while chiaki definitely feels sharper for my ps5
@@DalvaWolf honestly after using both for about a month. Greenlight in my opinion is still better. And chiaki is lit

This may cost 6 bucks but its the easiest way with the least work. So far for me it “ just works “.
Just download off steam os ? No need for windows ? I'm a newbie and not good with comps

Nicee. I do plan on covering the other ways to remote play and some comparisons as well.
Just the fact you can buy it on steam is a plus for me 😂
Well thank worked incredible easy. Thanks.
can i play outside w this app? i buy it but when im out of home i just cant log in my console :(
Needs port forwarding unless your router is ipv6 unless your on the same network.
Is there an equivalent to PS5 for an steam app?

For anyone that’s tried both, is this better than greenlight?
Do I have to do anything special for remote play outside of home.
Whenever I try to connect to remote play away from my home network it never connects. Please heellppp
i wanna ask, what should i do if there is no sound on my steam deck when i using this app?
Going to use this for fortnite, is there a way to do this with the built-in free tier of xbox cloud?
Theres no “ free tier “ really for xbox cloud. But with your xbox account you can login and play Fortnite for free.

How did you keep the info on the top? My info goes away once the touch buttons disappear
Look around in settings. There a setting to control that bar. How long it stays and all that
Can you still do cloud gaming with out an Xbox ? I still have Xbox app on my phone just not the console.
So if i dont have an xbox at all this wont work i have game pass i use it on my phone all the time
No. Remote play wouldn’t wprk as u need a console for that. But the cloud part works fine just like browser or anything else
If you are on the same network does it just use local? Like speed doesnt matter or does it still go through your internet?
Correct. On same network your limitations and performance are tied to your local hardware and router. When on a different network it chanhes and is going over the internet.
@@GameTechPlanet awesome! Thank you for showing this off
Does cloud play work if you don't have game pass? Will this work on the Series S?
No. This is on Steam. Also younhave to be subscribed to game pass ultimate for access to xbox cloud gaming.
I just can’t connect to my Xbox. My phone connects to remote play just fine. But my steam deck just won’t.
This exactly. Idk how he’s getting it to work outside of his home network. ALL of the subreddit for this App cannot get Remote Play to work on this app.
Where do you get the app? In Discover Store in DT Mode?
Its in steam. Any mode
It's sold on the Steam store.
Can you play your own bought games on this or is it strictly gamepass only games
Does this give you access to gamepass for pc or gamepass for console?
So remote play you dont need gamepass. Just streaming your console. If you have a Gamepass ultimate subscription that includes cloud gaming which you his app also has built in.
I have gamepass for PC (not the ultimate version). Both remote and cloud play didn't work. If your country support gamepass ultimate, then you should be able to use xbplay cloud play function.
Does this work if you have the games on a disk?
I am assuming ypur asking for remote play? In which case yes
@GameTechPlanet yeah thats what I meant
I’m using this exact app, I can ONLY use Remote play when I’m on the SAME network. I cannot Remote play when I’m out of my home network.
How’re you getting it to work on a different network?!?!?
I can't get any controls to work other than the left stick and the a button
