Better xCloud is a userscript (and companion Android app) that enhances the Xbox Cloud Gaming experience on xbox.com/play, adding features like 1080p streaming, Remote Play support, mouse/keyboard input, and custom touch controls. It is free, open-source, and works across desktop and mobile browsers.
Use cases
- stream xbox cloud games at 1080p on unsupported devices
- use xbox remote play in the browser
- play xcloud games with mouse and keyboard
- add touch controls to games without native touch support
- take screenshots of cloud gaming streams
- improve visual quality of xcloud streams
- play local co-op games on xcloud
- use xcloud on steam deck or android tv
When to choose
- you stream Xbox Cloud Gaming in a browser and want better resolution, codecs, or input options
- you want Remote Play through the xCloud website instead of the Xbox console app
- you need touch or mouse/keyboard controls for games that lack them
- you play on Steam Deck, Android TV, or VR headsets via browser
When to avoid
- you only use the native Xbox app and are satisfied with its features
- you need a fully supported, warrantied client for competitive play
- you cannot or will not install userscript manager extensions
- you want to modify the script beyond bug fixes or custom touch controls, since PRs are restricted
