>I've played a 50hrs of Xbox cloud games in the last 2yrs and never had latency issues Gonna be honest , I'm not taking gaming advice off someone who has played only 2 hours per month.

Especially with regards to something like input lag.

I don't play competitive online high framerate FPS games where that level of input matters. If I did I would invest in a windows PC.

But for all of the single player games I played it was never a noticeable problem. If you're going to complain about anything with cloud gaming it should be switching or starting a new game. The loading screen preamble before the game start screen is the only annoying part. But that doesn't affect gameplay.

If input lag was such a real problem I highly doubt Xbox would have redesigned their new 2023 Xbox UI to be 100% centered around Gamepass (The current one already pushes it hard but the new one leaked on Youtube makes it the near default).

Game Pass runs natively, though...? (At least it does on my PC.)
