The snazzy tech lets you stream Xbox games to your mobile over the internet

Xbox Cloud Gaming runs on games console – specifically, Xbox One X – hardware modified to run in a data centre.

Games are streamed over the internet straight to your phone or tablet, without the need for a console or TV.

It promises to let users play Xbox games on any device with a screen and an internet connection.

Microsoft is still testing the complex technology, but hopes to have an iOS version ready for release this year.

An app launched on Android in 2020. The iOS version will run through a browser app, such as Safari, Chrome or Microsoft Edge.

According to Microsoft’s blog post, more Games Pass Ultimate subscribers will be invited to the beta as the technology is developed.

To take part, you’ll need a compatible Bluetooth or USB-connected controller to start playing.

You can also play using custom touch controls. Around 50 of the 100-game library currently support touch controls.
