Cloud gaming isn’t going to replace traditional digital or physical games for a while, but it is a very handy and convenient option if you’ve got a strong enough connection to support it. While there are a ton of game streaming options out there,Xbox’s Cloud Gamingis one of the most robust and compatible on just about everything. If you’ve got an iPad or iPhone, you may take almost all yourgames wherever you go.
Although there’s no dedicated app,Cloud Gaming with Xbox Game Pass Ultimateworks great on iPhone and iPad. It uses the Safari browser, but you can also add an app icon to your iOS or iPadOS home screen, so you can have a fullscreen, non-URL experience with a single tap each time. Here’s how to set it up and what you need.
