So this is basically Xbox game pass ultimate, the cloud gaming part?

Because at one point they mention if you have to rebuy games you already own and they said you can just link your library.

At one point it sounds like they're renting out hardware and are able to stream your library to you ( you own the game ). Other times it sounds like they have a catalog and you just pay for the streaming to your device ( you don't own the game ).

Edit: do not mean this in a negative way. I'm just confused trying to find the answer :D

No, Game Pass Ultimate cloud gaming for Xbox games is on an “Xbox” (I’m sure MS has some custom servers with blades of Xbox-like servers). PC games, yes, they are doing something similar but it’s not quite the same as GFN.

GFN allowed you (not sure nowadays) to just login to your steam account on a RemoteFX Remote Desktop and play games via their client. This setup is what the tool is replicating. RDP allows some crazy tweaks in the registry to let you get really good performance out of supported hardware and (I assume) is what is going on here.

Edit: this is Linux based it seems so probably just doing something similar as the MS RDP implementation.

Oh I thought the cloud game pass wasn't Xbox games only. But that is entirely possible.

I don’t think it is. Just a majority of it. If it’s a cross platform game you’re streaming the Xbox version.
