I've not tried it yet myself, but I've watched numerous videos about it out
of curiosity and it looks pretty amazing. Although I'm sure my PC could run
it decently, I'm curious to give it a shot when the Xbox Series X gets here.
My biggest gripe is that a lot of the Bing data it draws from is kind of old
- my apartment building doesn't even exist yet in the flyover of Seattle I
watched. In fact, my whole neighborhood looks radically different. :P
