Supported platforms:
|
||||
- Windows, macOS, Linux

## How to install
|
||||
1. Install an userscript extension:
|
||||
- **Safari**: Install [Userscripts extension](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/userscripts/id1463298887). Check [this page](https://github.com/redphx/better-xcloud/wiki/Using-with-Safari) before using.
|
||||
- **All other browsers**: Install [Tampermonkey extension](https://www.tampermonkey.net/).
|
||||
3. Install **Better xCloud**:
|
||||
- [Stable version](https://github.com/redphx/better-xcloud/releases/latest/download/better-xcloud.user.js)
|
||||
<!-- - [Dev version](https://github.com/redphx/better-xcloud/raw/main/better-xcloud.user.js)-->
|
||||
I only distribute **Better xCloud** on GitHub, *DO NOT* download it on other websites or from unknown sources.
|
||||
4. Refresh [xCloud web page](https://www.xbox.com/play/).
|
||||
5. Click on the new "SERVER NAME" button next to your profile picture to adjust settings.
|
||||
|
||||
To update manually, just install the script again (you won't lose your settings).
|
||||
|
||||
⚠️⚠️⚠️ If you're using Kiwi Browser on Android, make sure to follow the steps correctly and install the script with Tampermonkey (not installing it as an extension), or else it won't work.

Don't see your browser in the table? If it supports Tampermonkey/Userscript then the answer is likely **"YES"**.
|

|
||||
<sup>1</sup> Follow [this guide](https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/find-and-install-add-ons-firefox-android) to install Tampermonkey on Firefox Android. Its Gamepad API doesn't work properly so it might not recognize your controller.

- **Kiwi Browser** is the best choice on Android. All features work, it means you can get 1080p stream + high-quality codec profile (the best possible quality).
|

- **Better xCloud** also works on Android TV, but you'll have to sideload the browser APK and need a Bluetooth mouse if you want to interact with the Settings.

<sup>(\*)</sup> By default (for compatibility reasons) xCloud only uses high quality codec profile when you use Tizen TV or Chrome/Edge/Chromium browser on Chrome/MacOS. Enable this setting will give you the best experience no matter what platform & browser you're on.

||||
## How to install

8. **What's the meaning behind the name "Better xCloud"?**
|
||||
It's a reference to an Userscript called "better360" that I created many years ago. I regret not choosing the name "xCloud Enhancement Suite", or XES for short.
