This game streaming service lets you play PC titles on compatible devices, including Xbox consoles. What has most impressed players is the possibility of playing PS5 games on Xbox, which feels surprising, and all of this is possible thanks to cloud technology.
What is Boosteroid?
Boosteroid is a cloud gaming service that works similarly to Nvidia GeForce Now. It allows users to stream games purchased from stores like Steam and Epic Games Store directly to their devices, including PCs, smartphones, Smart TVs and, of course, Xbox consoles.
The big advantage of Boosteroid is the ability to run high-quality games on less powerful devices, such as the Xbox One, Xbox Series S and Xbox Series X. Furthermore, the platform has attracted attention for allowing players to access PS5 titles on Xbox, as long as these games are available on PC.
How does Boosteroid work?
Step by Step to use on Xbox
Graphic quality and performance
Boosteroid promises a high-quality experience, with support for 4K resolution and frame rates of up to 120 FPS, allowing players to get the most out of the experience. However, it’s recommended to have an internet connection of at least 50 Mbps, preferably via cable, to avoid lags and instabilities.
The platform is also compatible with the Xbox controller, ensuring a fluid and intuitive experience.
Limitations and legal issues
Despite the advantages, there are some limitations and concerns to consider:
- PlayStation exclusive games such as Astro Bot and Bloodborne, which weren’t released for PC, are not available on Boosteroid.
- PSN Integration: Boosteroid doesn’t have a connection to the PlayStation Network (PSN), therefore, you cannot use your Sony account to access the games.
- Legal Issues: Sony has already taken action against streaming services that offer its games, such as GeForce Now. So, there is a risk that Sony will block access to its titles on Boosteroid in the future.
