Good news for gamers in the church of Microsoft; you can now stream Xbox One games to your iPhone or iPad.
Earlier in September, Microsoft introduced a new Xbox app that allows players to stream games straight from their consoles to their Android devices.
With new iPhones around the corner, an update has launched for the app enabling the remote play function for iOS devices. However, there are certain caveats to bear in mind.
Firstly, this isn’t the arrival of Microsoft’s xCloud service on iOS. Rather, it’s more like Sony’s service that allows PS4 players to stream compatible games to their various devices via the Remote Play app.
For devices running iOS 13 or higher, DualShock 4 controllers are compatible via Bluetooth. If not, there are others you can buy – such as the SteelSeries Nimbus – which are better than the on-screen buttons.
The app will allow you to stream Xbox One and next-gen Xbox Series X games to your devices, The Verge reports, but Xbox 360 and original Xbox games won’t be compatible.
You’ll be able to access your console via wifi, 5G or LTE connection, with the app allowing you to turn your console on even from outside your home. The app also lets you manage your console, whether it’s installing new games, clearing out storage space or sorting out your bulky library.
