Running xbox games via xcloud on Apple kit and even Apple TV

OK. when the new remastered Oblivion was released I thought I might relive my youth(I become a pensioner in September)  and was considering buying a new xbox(still got an xbox one) and the new remastered Oblivion.  Then I discovered you can run most games using xcloud via Safari on ipads  and iPhones.  The drawback was that I wanted to run the games via my Apple TV which I got via my EE TV contract, which I could do with mirroring via Airplay but the window aspect was all wrong.  Then I discovered there is a 3rd party app called Onecast which will run xcloud gaming natively on the ATV+ and a one off cost of £14 after a 7 day trial period.  So I purchased an Xbox Ultimate pass through  EE and linked it on my ATV+ via the Onecast app  at £14 pm(cancel anytime).  I am also using a Steelseries Nimbus controller which works fine.  Unless you are looking for full UHD and surround sound this works pretty well at 1080p and using Dolby surround on the PCM2.0 works well.

Hey there @trevQPK!

Thanks for sharing the details of how you've been getting on with this!

Quite a few of my friends have been enjoying the Oblivion remaster this week, and I have been tempted to get it downloaded on my Game Pass.

I never played it back in the day and can get a bit daunted by open world games mind, so the procrastination is real 😅
