No controller? Xbox Cloud Gaming lets you use your phone on a smart TV

New Products

▤ Summary

Microsoft added new Xbox Cloud Gaming features for smart TV players. Users can now use a compatible Android or iOS phone as a controller when they stream games on supported smart TVs. Microsoft also introduced Cloud Connect for U.S. Xbox Insider members, letting them connect a new Xbox controller over Wi‑Fi instead of Bluetooth. The company says this should reduce input latency and make cloud gameplay respond faster. These updates arrive shortly after Microsoft changed its cloud gaming access and pricing model.
