Good_King_Applesauce Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Microsoft launched a new app today that let's you connect to your PC and stream games to your XBOX One. Here's an article from Verge on it: https://www.theverge.com/2019/3/13/18263513/microsoft-xbox-one-pc-games-support-streaming-wireless-display-app-feature Any chance Launchbox will work with this or perhaps could in future releases?

fromlostdays Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 (edited) I don't think there is anything Launchbox could do on it's end to make this work, it would be on the App end. Having said that, you can launch Launchbox or Bigbox through steam, so I'd be surprised if it didn't work (I can confirm LB/BB work through Nvidia Gamestream, for instance). Controller support though is another matter. Would have to test. Edit: They really need to get a better marketing team. Why would you name this "Wireless Display App"?? CastBoX. There, can I have a job now Microsoft? Edited March 14, 2019 by fromlostdays Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Good_King_Applesauce Posted March 14, 2019 Author Share Posted March 14, 2019 CastBOX is definitely the right name for this. Such a missed opportunity! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joelfabiani Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Hey @Good_King_Applesauce, I Just tried both default interface and BigBox, the only buttons that seems to work it's 'B' and navigation. Have you tried using Steam as @fromlostdays suggested? I have a huge Launchbox collection on my laptop but at this moment I don't have Steam installed here. Thank you.

Good_King_Applesauce Posted March 14, 2019 Author Share Posted March 14, 2019 I haven't tried it yet, but I will and report back here when I do. Might have to wait till the weekend. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joelfabiani Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Thank you, I'll try to install steam later and report here as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mario64 Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 (edited) I'm using Parsec to stream local or with friends. https://parsecgaming.com/ ? Edited March 14, 2019 by mario64 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Good_King_Applesauce Posted March 16, 2019 Author Share Posted March 16, 2019 I just attempted to set this up and apparently, it will only work if your PC and your XBOX One are on a wifi connection. I guess they meant "wireless" literally. Everything in my house is hardwired and my PC doesn't even have a wifi adapter. I've read that other people are having issues with all but the absolute best wireless connection. I think MS intended this app to be used as more of a casting tool from devices like the Surface. Perhaps they will update the app in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
