1080p unavailable or picture in 720p
updated Oct 29, 2026
xCloud sends the video in 720p to the app. 1080p output only exists on Corona/Winchester boards and upscales that picture; older boards (such as Trinity) stay at 720p. Sharpness depends on your internet: with an unstable connection xCloud lowers the quality.
Outside the app
Third-party (non-original) controllers
updated Oct 29, 2026
Third-party controllers do not work in the app yet. It is noted as a future feature, with no date. Use an original Xbox 360 controller.
Outside the app
Session ended by xCloud
updated Oct 29, 2026
Messages such as "xCloud ended the session" (for example KickForAppError) come from Microsoft servers: the game failed in the cloud or the session expired. Open the game again; if the next one does not open without restarting the Xbox, send a photo in your report.
