Hi Everyone,
Not sure if this has been posted recently but wanted to spotlight this. Recently Borderlands 3 added couch co-op with their new Series X/S optimisation patch and instantly thought this would be a fantastic addition to Sea of Thieves. It would be great for families who share consoles, as an example.
I assume the additional power from new consoles gives ‘computational room’ to facilitate this.
So excited for the new Pirates Life update.
See you all out there,

@honest-banter Borderlands is quite a bit different...there isn't so much stuff going on server-side, so especially XBox couldn't handle this...
@honest-banter I think that @schwammlgott raises a key point here. The servers do a lot - like the calculations of the weather and the waves etc.
That being said there is a lot that the actual console has to do.
@schwammlgott thanks for the reply. I wasn’t aware how much was calculated server side. Maybe something long-term they can over come technologically if the demand is there.
Thanks again,

@unfadingshimmy thanks for the reply. Yeah that is a good shout. I’ll give it a go, like you say, it’s not a perfect experience. Looking forward to the Xcloud server blades being updated to Series X architecture.
Thanks,

@honest-banter It is good with a 5ghz WiFi connection and Razer Kishi controller (which is currently on sale right now).

I've actually played quite a bit of games with streaming, it's the perfect way to play games that don't offer any couch co-op. I would even say I prefer it over split screen as with splitscreen you lose half your screen which always gives you a weird rectangle vision, the quality is lowered due to having to render 2 separate images and you constantly see what the other does.
With streaming having browser support too it even makes it easier to just have a decent screen for the second player too. Although for most games my phone was perfectly fine as well.
