  • No, Game Pass Ultimate cloud gaming for Xbox games is on an “Xbox” (I’m sure MS has some custom servers with blades of Xbox-like servers). PC games, yes, they are doing something similar but it’s not quite the same as GFN.

    GFN allowed you (not sure nowadays) to just login to your steam account on a RemoteFX Remote Desktop and play games via their client. This setup is what the tool is replicating. RDP allows some crazy tweaks in the registry to let you get really good performance out of supported hardware and (I assume) is what is going on here.

    Edit: this is Linux based it seems so probably just doing something similar as the MS RDP implementation.

  • Wow haha, as someone who finally got 6144 a few years ago this game really is a true gem and one of the greatest phone games of all time. 12 years ago I bought it on a whim on a lunch break, and it is easily the most played game of all time for me at this point (coming from years of cod, halo, rocket league, etc).

    You honestly made my day with this post, my friends know me as the friend who still plays the weird 2048 clone, but I got my son into it too. He finally hit 768 and I was so proud lol. I am still trying to achieve a “perfect” game but the algorithm definitely doesn’t like it. Technically in the top 100 on the leaderboards lol
