Xbox’s New Ways to Play with Cloud Gaming
Xbox in its newest Xboxwire newsletter just shared that it will be adding two new ways for people to enjoy Xbox’s cloud gaming services. The first one is through the newly introduced Xbox Nano controller. The Nano controller will instantly connect to the device which is streaming the game through Wi-Fi, eliminating the use of Bluetooth. This, however, is only available for players in the United States.

However, the other method lets you use your Android/iOS phone as a controller on certain compatible smart TVs which can run Xbox Cloud Gaming. The list of compatible smart TVs includes models of Amazon Firestick, Samsung, LG and VIDAA OS-powered TVs. In the newsletter, Xbox wrote, “When you launch a game without a physical controller connected, you’ll see an option to use your phone for that session.”
In addition to these changes, the Xbox app on the computer just got a major overhaul with 60% faster loading speeds.
