According to The Verge, Microsoft was aiming for $129 (£110, AU$190) or less but the team struggled to get it below a $299 package. It appears Microsoft couldn’t get the price of the hardware down low enough to make it competitive. And, considering cloud gaming is available on the Xbox One, too, the streaming stick would be competing with that generation of hardware, too. So, to be attractive, the Xbox streaming stick has to be significantly more affordable than a current-gen console, like the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S. And, even if your internet is perfect, you won’t be playing at the 4K resolutions you get on Xbox Series X. If your internet connection isn’t strong then you will face graphical glitches, buffering, and delays between your inputs to the gamepad and the action on screen. However, cloud gaming still has notable drawbacks over native play. With a streaming stick, you could plug the dongle into any TV with an HDMI port, connect to the WiFi and access the Game Pass catalog. While you can stream games through Samsung Gaming Hub to modern smart TVs, the service doesn't work on older devices. The Xbox streaming stick gives you an easy way to take your Xbox Game Pass library with you when you travel.
