Yet that's par for the course when it comes to in-home game streaming, as I've had similar issues with Valve's free Steam Link for PC gaming and even Microsoft's own streaming client for PC and Android. Gaming via OneCast was mostly a seamless experience, though I did encounter a rare occasional hiccup now and then. Even with the stringent network requirements, lag occasionally impacts action gaming.Requires a fast 5 Ghz wireless and Xbox wired Ethernet connection to consistently work well.

After that's done, OneCast should be able to identify your Xbox and connect to it via your Xbox Live gamertag account login credentials.

In order for your Xbox to allow itself to be connected to by this third-party app, a permission change must be made on the Xbox. Once the network requirements have been met, setting up is straightforward. Good-quality streams use a considerable amount of bandwidth, so any optimizations made to improve connectivity speed and stability go a long way toward a more enjoyable interactive streaming and playing experience. I tested using both wireless and wired configurations, and the wired definitely improves the connection quality, since the Xbox and iOS device it's streaming to are not vying for available Wi-Fi bandwidth. Even with the faster Wi-Fi speeds, the Xbox being streamed should ideally be connected via a wired Ethernet connection directly into your Wi-Fi router. Most newer Wi-Fi routers do so, but units running the older 2.4 Ghz will simply be too slow to conduct any meaningful streaming experience. The quality of the game stream is dependent on several important factors, the most notable being that your home Wi-Fi router supports a 5 Ghz connection. Otherwise, iOS users can pair either an MDI-compatible gamepad or a native Xbox One or even PlayStation DualShock controller to their iPhone, iPad or Apple TV for a much easier interactive experience. The elements of the overlay can also be custom-positioned so that they don't cover critical gameplay elements. This is mainly useful for navigating the streamed Xbox interface and playing turn-based strategy games with minimal precision character placements.

The app actually goes beyond the official Android Xbox streaming app from Microsoft, since it overlays a controller on the play screen. OneCast - Xbox Game Streaming ( $11.99) created by talented developer Owen Stanley, is an unofficial Xbox streaming app for iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV (and presumably Apple Silicon devices, even though a Mac version of OneCast also exists). Given the ongoing public battles between Apple and Microsoft on being allowed to stream games via Microsoft's Xbox Game Pass service, Xbox owners wanting to stream games to their iOS devices need a third-party alternative. Unfortunately, even though Microsoft has provided Android users the ability to do the same for Xbox owners, iOS users are still waiting for official support.

PlayStation 4 owners have had the ability to stream their PS4 games to their iPads or iPhones ever since Sony released its free PS4 Remote app. With the advent of streaming gaming services along with the migration of Apple Silicon-powered laptops to run iOS applications, the ability to play high-end, graphically intense games on iOS devices has arrived.
