@halcy these are somewhat uncontrolled tests run by Digital Foundry, per their video on it. the differential from playing natively on a 60hz PC monitor is ~100ms, vs. a Pixelbook over wifi, yes

@shaderphantom jesus, here I was figuring “oh google may actually be able to do this with good latency worldwide“ but I guess not?
