102 PCWorld NOVEMBER 2020
FEATURE PLAY XBOX GAMES ON A CHROMEBOOK
as good as I recall. (If you want to do a head-
to-head comparison, you’ll need to sign out
of your Xbox, then into the Xbox cloud
gaming experience—you can’t play
simultaneously.)
Frame rates,
though, were a bit
choppy, and (at a
guess) hovered
around 30 fps or
slightly lower.
I will say that
Google’s Chrome
OS didn’t
particularly help
the experience.
My Chromebook
hard-rebooted
occasionally after taking a screenshot, for
one. The way Chrome OS works on the HP
Chromebook 14 means you don’t select a
resolution, like Windows; you zoom in and
I have to say that Sea of Thieves still looks amazing within Xbox cloud gaming.
2D sprite-based sidescrollers are going to look the best, like Dead Cells.
