Good news: the script is now successfully ported to TypeScript and functional.

Next step: I’ll start looking for bugs. After that I’ll share the beta version. This version won’t have any new features.

Using TypeScript makes it easier to: add features, maintain the project & prevent bugs.

xCloud also removed the word “instantly” when promoting Cloud Gaming 😄

I know the queue situation is no longer a big problem like few months ago but it’s still funny to me. I’m glad that the project is still having support from Xbox.

The Xbox website has new Wishlist features:
- Notify me when my list items are released
- Notify me when my list items are in Game Pass

https://www.xbox.com/wishlist

The channel now has a bot that will make an announcement every time a new game has been added to xCloud (not Game Pass). Hopefully it works properly and doesn't spam the channel while I'm asleep 😄

When I have the time, I'll add more features like sharing statuses of Xbox and xCloud's servers/services.

✨ Recently added xCloud game(s): Another Crab's Treasure, Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes.

Better xCloud 4.0.0-beta.1 (TypeScript) is ready to be tested!

Please check this issue for more info: https://github.com/redphx/better-xcloud/issues/377

Thank you!

I explained why the stream crashes when using Chrome/Kiwi 124 here: https://github.com/redphx/better-xcloud/issues/366#issuecomment-2081328090

Next version I’ll add a “Kiwi Browser v123” profile for Kiwi Browser 124 users.
If you’re using Chrome/Edge 124, don’t use the User-Agent profile until the next version.
Also there’s no benefits of using this feature.

You can test this change now with this version: https://github.com/redphx/better-xcloud/raw/typescript/dist/better-xcloud.user.js

I forgot to remove the “Beta” string from script’s name in the release version. This made you have both scripts running at the same time that may cause problems.

Please remove the “Better xCloud (Beta)” script in Tampermonkey (if you have it) and re-install the fixed version: https://github.com/redphx/better-xcloud/releases/tag/v4.0.0
Sorry.

This doesn’t affect Android app’s users.

🚀 New release

Script 4.0.1 is available: https://github.com/redphx/better-xcloud/releases/tag/v4.0.1
It fixes many bugs related to the touch controller. It also uses less memory.

Xbox Cloud Gaming is down: https://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-live-status

"Users should once again be able to log in and launch titles for Cloud Gaming." https://x.com/xboxsupport/status/1785197115288830219

If I understand this correctly, soon you’ll be able to join your friend’s game session to play local co-op games with them

Today’s update of xCloud website also has changes to the Storage Management feature. I think we’re getting closer and closer to the official annoucement.

It's official: you can now manage save files & storages on xCloud website (preview feature): https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/hardware-network/xbox-insider-release-notes/console/alpha-skip-ahead/2024/05/alpha-skip-ahead-2408-240428-2000

If the game crashes at start up, try to use the "Delete reserved space" feature.

🤖 Available now on xCloud: xbox.com/play

- Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition

The next version of the script won’t have any big features, but it’s still very important: it improves script’s performance + reduces the risk of being broken every time the xCloud website has new updates.

This is the future-proof mechanism, so if one day I decide not to develop the script anymore it will still work fine with future xCloud updates (hopefully).

Don’t worry I don’t have plan to stop working on this project anytime soon 💪
