XFly

Xbox Cloud Gaming, as a console — not a browser tab.

A free, open-source Windows client for xCloud. It plays your Game Pass library on your own screen with your own controller, and gets out of the way.

Get XFly from GitHub Releases An unsigned Windows installer and portable exe, built by GitHub Actions from the source in this repository. Free and open source. Requires Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.

1440p in. 4K out.

Xbox Cloud Gaming streams at up to 1440p, and on a 4K screen that normally means a 1440p picture stretched to fit. Every NVIDIA RTX card since the 20 series has Video Super Resolution on it, and AMD ships Video Upscale in Adrenalin. XFly has full built-in support for both: your card rebuilds each frame up to your screen's real resolution, on hardware that is idle anyway, so it costs no frames.

AMD is supported and untested. It is wired up the same way as NVIDIA and should behave the same, but there is no Radeon here to try it on. AMD documents Video Upscale for the RX 7000 series; RX 9000 is included because it is newer silicon, which is a reasonable guess and not a tested fact. If you have either, tell us what happens.

What you get

A sharper picture

Your RTX or Radeon does the work. 1440p that actually looks like 1440p — or 4K, if that is your screen.

Clean on a bad night

No blocking, no smearing around the edges — with or without a fancy card.

The resolution you chose

And it stays there. No quiet slide down to 720p halfway through. Nothing to configure.

Works in your country

Not on Microsoft's list? It still works.

Controller only

Every screen, every menu. You will never reach for the mouse.

Two pads, two players

Local co-op, the way it is supposed to be.

Your language, already set

Ten of them, picked up from your machine. Nothing to configure.

No website

Your game fills the screen. That is the whole thing.

Getting it

Download the installer or the portable exe from the latest release, run it, and sign in with your Microsoft account. Both keep themselves up to date.

Windows will warn you on first run. XFly is not code-signed — a certificate costs money this project does not have — so SmartScreen shows "Windows protected your PC". Click More info, then Run anyway. The whole source is on GitHub, and every release is built in the open by GitHub from that exact code.
