Enjoying Xbox games on your iPhone and iPad
Use Ps4 Controller Ipad
Remote play for iOS is a big step because Apple is known for notoriously banning Microsoft in the past. Thus, Microsoft is planning to bring xCloud to iOS and iPadOS via a web-based app rather than waiting for the App Store approval to kick in. Maybe, Apple kicking Epic Games off its platform is Apple’s way of putting a ding in the universe.
With the all-new Xbox app, you can now manage your console using your iPhone. Thus, you can delete and download games to the console so that they are all prepared for you when you get home. Not just that, this is an excellent upgrade for gamers or game streamers, as it will let you take a screenshot and share it across your social media.
