Microsoft previews Wi-Fi controller and phone controls for cloud gaming
Microsoft is previewing two ways to control Xbox Cloud Gaming: connecting the new Xbox Nano controller directly to cloud servers over Wi-Fi, and using a phone as a controller on smart TVs. The options aim to make cloud gaming easier to access, with the direct connection potentially reducing input delay.
The Xbox Nano cloud connection preview starts today for players in the US, while players elsewhere can try the phone controller feature on smart TVs. Setting up the Nano requires the Xbox beta app on Android or Xbox Accessories on PC; the phone option is enabled in the cloud gaming settings. Microsoft says both previews are still being tested, and supported games or devices may be limited.
In short
- Xbox is testing two new cloud gaming control options.
- US players can try Wi-Fi cloud connect on the Nano.
- Players elsewhere can use a phone with supported smart TVs.
