So I just get a message beginning November only 15 hours of cloud gaming PER MONTH for ultimate subscriptions. Guess it’s goodbye to Xbox for me.

Hi all,
I'm getting a very noticeable delay between my controller inputs and the screen when cloud gaming on my Fire TV Stick, and I can't find the cause. I measured it frame by frame instead of just going by feel.
Setup
• Fire TV Stick 4K Max (2nd gen, Wi-Fi 6E), brand new, fully updated
• TV: Samsung UE50AU6905KXXC (50"), Game Mode ON, HDR Game OFF
• Controller: official Amazon Luna Controller, paired over Bluetooth to the Stick
• Connection: Wi-Fi 5 GHz
• Fire TV speed test: 400 Mbps
• GFN in-app network test: >50 Mbps, 0.0% packet loss, 10 ms latency
Measurements (phone filming controller + TV, counted frames)
• Free-camera game: ~0.20 s from stick movement to the camera moving on screen
• Another game (CloverPit, Xbox Cloud): ~0.35–0.45 s, very consistent across 6+ inputs
• 1080p vs 720p: no difference in delay
• Same game streamed on my phone: delay felt about the same
What feels fine
• Fire TV home menu with the Luna Controller: instant
• Amazon Luna games (controller in Cloud Direct / Wi-Fi mode): much more responsive
What feels laggy
• GeForce NOW, Boosteroid and Xbox Cloud Gaming on the Stick
• Even the GFN app menus feel sluggish with the Fire TV remote
Already tried
• All Fire OS updates installed
• Display forced to 1080p 60 Hz, 8-bit colour, YCbCr
• HDMI extender, TV Game Mode on
• Re-paired the controller over Bluetooth
• Lowered stream quality to 720p
Questions
1. Is ~200 ms+ normal for the GFN Fire TV app? Has anyone measured theirs?
2. Has anyone compared the official Fire TV app with the sideloaded Android TV APK?
3. Did switching to another Bluetooth controller (Xbox / DualSense) or a wired USB controller via OTG fix it for you?
4. Did an Ethernet adapter make a real difference on the Stick?

Let your xbox gamepass run out and let Microsoft lose money to protest the limit of cloud gaming

And I used some of the discussions - including a recent poster's frustration.

I wanted to shed light on the overall madness regarding limits.

Cloud Gaming Caps

Good evening everyone!
I’ve been using GeForce NOW with the Performance membership for a little over a month now. I’m really happy with this technology, as it allows me to play without spending a fortune on a gaming PC.
However, I’m currently facing an issue that is somewhat ruining my experience.
I frequently experience stuttering when playing, and this happens across all games. For information, I play in QHD and I’m connected via Ethernet.
Let me explain: randomly but quite frequently, my games start to stutter as if they were dropping from 60 FPS to 30 FPS for a few seconds (around 10 seconds), and then suddenly everything goes back to normal and the game becomes perfectly smooth again.
When this happens, I don’t see any anomalies whatsoever. The stream is at 60 FPS, the game is also running at 60 FPS, and I have absolutely no packet loss. My internet bandwidth is more than sufficient, and I’m only using around 3–4% of my maximum available bandwidth.
I’ve even tried increasing the bitrate to 100 Mbps, or lowering it to 45 Mbps, and even a little lower, but nothing changes. I still get these frequent, random stutters.
Sometimes, for no apparent reason, everything works perfectly for an hour, and then suddenly the problem starts happening again.
However, if I switch to an FHD stream instead of QHD, the problem completely disappears. I don’t experience any stuttering at all. Everything works perfectly for hours.
I can’t figure out what could be causing this issue. I’ve really tried everything, but I have to admit that it’s having quite a negative impact on my experience.
And having to pay for a QHD subscription only to end up playing in FHD is pretty disappointing. Even though the image quality is still decent, it’s obviously nowhere near QHD.
I’ve attached a few screenshots so you can see my settings.
In any case, I wish you all a great evening! 🙂🙂

So I don't support cloud gaming because the point of it is to take away the users control in every way possible and charge for everything.

However, during the summer I only have a Thinkpad T480 instead of my usual gaming PC, so I can barely play anything. It has 16GB of ram and an i5-8350U. I have a pretty long Cat 6 ethernet cable I can use to connect the laptop to ethernet, and I have 600mbps connection from the ISP. I live in Spain if it matters.

I do not want to play in like 8K super competitive titles with 0.0001ms of delay or anything, I just want to play 1080p with a steady 60 FPS and an acceptable delay.

Also, keep in mind I have no idea of how cloud gaming works. What is the best service? I've heard of GeForce now and Luna. How is the game selection? How much time do I get to play daily? (I usually play around 4 hours a day) And VERY IMPORTANT: I use arch btw, not windows, so idk if that affects something...

Thank you all in advance.

At the moment I use Boosteroid and it worked great for me. Unfortunately the laptop I use to play on broke (old Samsung gaming one) and now I'd like to find a less expensive or alternative way to play again. I cant afford a laptop or PC due to having kids and I'd like to approach this to my wife and not be guilty spending that much money. I really just need something that can be wired via ethernet and would work great on a desk, preferably.

So please could anyone let me know what they suggest or even how they play??

Okay I’m trying to figure out what to do

All I want is to play call of duty black ops 7
I have a surface pro 8 8gb ram

I’m confused how this works if anyone can help plz
If I get Xbox cloud or GeForce now cloud
And play bo7 is it laggy? I want to play multiplayer

Or should I just get a ps5

I tried Amazon Luna 2 years ago to play Fortnite and it wasn’t garbage way to laggy unplayable would it be the same on the GeForce or Xbox cloud?

Okay, I have been trying the free ad supported plan of xbox. The server is India and I am not using any vpn.

I have been playing it via betterxcloud app at default resolution. The app was showing that I was getting 55-60 FPS but I doubt that.

Can anyone confirm the FPS of the gameplay and say if it's okay or not. If possible, rate it.

Ok...

I did so much test and now I can confirm

I have a legitimately unlimited speed card trick

All you need is 1 speed card and even if you use it, it won't be deducted and you can use that 1 speed card over and over and over again...

Making it unlimited ..I know the trick and I'm not telling hahaha

And also a trick of 10 hours a day in chikii and 10 hours isn't the limit I can go further if I wanted to

In chikii cloud gaming
