Petr Škuta Microsoft does not want to be left behind for long, so it is preparing its own streaming solution. Thanks to xCloud technology, we will be able to play Xbox games on our iPhone or iPad.
The xCloud project focuses on streaming games from popular Xbox consoles. Microsoft wants to make it possible to play games from this console on many other devices including iPhones and iPads. There are currently two paths to the solution. The first will offer gaming directly from the Microsoft Cloud, and the second will turn your console directly into a streaming device.

An Xbox switched to streaming mode will allow you to play your entire library of games, including those in your Xbox Game Pass subscription, on mobile devices. Conversely, the pure cloud service will only offer a collection of games that will be available in xCloud.
Microsoft is not the first with its xCloud service
To play, you will need to pair a gamepad with Bluetooth support, at least according to the leaked screenshots. However, it is unclear whether the service will be limited to Xbox controllers only.
It is estimated that this year's Gamescon, which takes place in Germany, could bring the first detailed information about the upcoming xCloud service.
Microsoft is certainly not the first to enter the game streaming waters. Before him, PlayStation already offered the same function with its Remote Play, which works on the same principle. The console becomes a streaming device and will allow games to be played anywhere on the local network where the appropriate application is installed. Steam followed the same path with its Steam Link application.

In the meantime, Apple has taken a friendly step and the new iOS 13 and iPadOS 13 operating systems natively support the Xbox and PlayStation DualShock 4 game controllers. You only need to pair them via Bluetooth and nothing else is needed.
