It doesn’t work on Apple right now, but they are going to have a browser based solution for that soon (they are testing it right now) and that also means you’ll be able to use it on anything that has a web browser.

I think they actually just ended the PC testing a few days ago. Released an update disallowing people to access it according to the subreddit. Seems like they are real close to releasing it publically as it was apparently working extremely well and Microsoft's goal was always this Spring, so they don't have but 4 or so weeks left of it being Spring technically.

I got a chance to test this on the PC side and it worked quite well, although there was a bit of input delay. I tested by playing Descenders and I had to start my tricks just a little before I normally would, which does makes me worry about playing The Show, but if you're already accustomed to playing online and starting your swing earlier than usual you'll be ok. Of course it will also depend on your connection, location, etc. My ping to the Xbox server was 14ms on a wired fiber connection which is about the best you could ask for so hopefully they'll somehow be able to smooth it out even more. I'm really looking forward to further testing and updates.

Yea, I am worried about the input delay for hitting. From what I was reading the input delay was varying game to game. I saw a lot of comments saying Dirt 3 had noticeable delay for basically all people, but some other games were as if you were playing locally.

I'm going to try this game through streaming it on GamePass before I make a decision. I'm crossing my fingers the input delay is minimal and manageable. I have a wired fiber connection that should be fine, so we will see.

Right on, let me know how it goes and I'll report back here as well.
