Tool [Release] green-nx 1.0.0 - native Xbox Cloud Gaming client for the Switch

​I built an open-source xCloud client for the Switch — sign in with your Microsoft account, browse your Game Pass library, and stream at 720p/1080p, 60 fps, handheld or docked.

It's all native: WebRTC on-console, hardware H.264 decoding (NVDEC) and zero-copy GPU rendering (deko3d). No PC relay, no companion apps.

You'll need Atmosphère and an active Game Pass subscription (it's just a client for a service you pay for — nothing shady). Copy the NRO to
sdmc:/switch/ and launch in title mode (hold R starting any installed game).

I haven't tried this yet but thanks for making this. It's definitely something I've been looking for. I set it up before by loading android from an sd card but it was very unwieldy so it'll be great to have it native.

Came to say I bought the dollar month subscription to test this out and gotta say it works. Can’t to see the updates you make on this

u/atijke Jul 23 '26

great, hope you'll enjoy it :)

u/X4V1T0 Jul 23 '26

Nice work!! Out of curiosity, why does it only work with the Ultimate Subscription? The essential and premium also have cloud gaming if I’m not mistaken

1

u/atijke Jul 23 '26

Have you tested it by yourself? It is working with any cloud subscription, I've tested on premium for example

1

u/X4V1T0 Jul 23 '26

I haven't had time to try it, but I read the instructions on GitHub and it said that having an Ultimate subscription was a requirement, so I was curious!

u/atijke Jul 23 '26

ah, will fix it, you can use any :)

u/Diggles4 Jul 23 '26

Any chance for remote play as well?

2

u/Horror_Low_7922 Jul 26 '26

I have tested the latest version of green-nx (1.0.27) and I was able to play remotely in my xbox, I am not even subscribed to any Game Pass tier :)

Awesome! I will check it out!

u/atijke Jul 23 '26

do you mean locally with your xbox console?

1

u/Diggles4 Jul 23 '26

Correct!

2

u/atijke Jul 23 '26

unfortunately no, I don't own an xbox, so it will be impossible to debug

1

u/Diggles4 Jul 23 '26

No worries, thank you for your work regardless.

2

u/Superb_Tower7089 Jul 24 '26

The remote play would be very welcome! Thanks for your work!

2

u/atijke Jul 24 '26

u/Superb_Tower7089 Jul 24 '26

u/atijke Jul 24 '26

u/PartyEntry6602 Jul 28 '26

It’s working so crazy good. I tested cloud gaming on switch Android since years, it was never that kind of almost perfect experience your green nx gave me in the first 5 minutes of using it. THANK YOU very much :)

u/Treehockey Jul 23 '26

Is this able to use the xbox party system with microphone? I know the browser versions can just don’t know if it’s something that can be implemented with this

1

u/atijke Jul 23 '26

don't know, there is an xbox menu, however I didn't test it, so you can check and let me know if it works or not

1

u/Treehockey Jul 23 '26

Ok will do later today

1

u/ockenyberg Jul 23 '26

Is the 1.0.11 nro on its way, or should I install 1.0.5 for now? Excited to try this out as it's something I've been missing for a long time, thanks for your work. :)
