PSBox Cloud Gaming is a native Xbox Cloud Gaming (xCloud) client for jailbroken PS5 consoles: browse the cloud catalog and the games you own, and stream them at 1080p60 with sound, using the DualSense as an Xbox controller.
Unofficial project, not affiliated with, endorsed or sponsored by Microsoft or Sony. You need a Microsoft account with a subscription that includes cloud gaming (Game Pass Ultimate).

What's new in v0.3.0
Your games and Game Pass, apart
- Two tabs (L1 / R1): Game Pass, with only Game Pass games (xbox.com's "popular" list also had games you must buy first, which failed to start), and Your games: what your account owns outside Game Pass, recently played first.
- Available to buy: games that stream in the cloud once bought, most popular first, with their store price (FREE for free-to-play, the regular price crossed out on sale). A game's page shows a large QR code of its store page; once bought, it appears in Your games.
- Search (Triangle) in either tab, with an on-screen keyboard.
- Every game shows the console it was made for: Xbox 360, Xbox One or Series X|S.
Faster and smoother
- The home screen is complete (art, descriptions, badges) about a second after it appears: your games, art and prices are cached.
- Better image quality: the 1080p/720p settings request the HQ streaming tiers where available, and colour edges are smoother.
- A game that fails to start in one region is retried in the nearest other one; the latency measured in your sessions is shown per region.
- Settings are drop-down lists.
Fixes
- The idle warning no longer ends the stream.
- No other game's art while a game's own art loads.
Tested on one console over Wi-Fi.
Known limitations
- Software video decoding; no HDR, no 4K.
- Games can't be bought from the console: the PS5 browser can't run the xbox.com store, so use the QR code.
- No microphone/party chat.
- Microsoft may change or block the services this client relies on at any time.
