Microsoft recently introduced something called Cloud Gaming in September 2020, and it allows you to play games on your Android phone or tablet. All it requires is for you to subscribe to the Game Pass Ultimate and a controller of some kind. However, there are some games that have Cloud Touch Control Support enabled which means a controller is not needed to play.
It will surprise you how many popular titles are part of this program, but do remember that the app is still in beta. They might not all look as good as they do on PC or your Xbox, although, it will still give you the chance to play your favorite games on the go!
What Is Xbox Game Pass?
Xbox Game Pass is a subscription service offered by Microsoft that gives players access to a library of games, including some titles on the day of their release. You will pay either $9.99 per month for just PC or console or $14.99 per month if you choose to subscribe to Game Pass Ultimate.
Both subscriptions require you to download the games to your device and offer discounts on games, but Game Pass Ultimate gives you access to Cloud Gaming in addition to these perks.
