Microsoft's Xbox app on iOS now supports streaming Xbox One games on iPhone and iPad.

Unfortunately, Microsoft's updated Xbox app doesn't change the status of xCloud.

Apple then forces game streaming platforms to run through the use of Safari, which could make it quite hard for certain projects just like the xCloud to function and operate properly through Apple's own iOS. PC users have Steam Link and AMD link services that allow users to stream games from PC to their smartphones. The new Xbox app is already available for download on the Apple App Store globally. The functionality is similar to Sony's Remote Play app for the PlayStation 4. The Redmond based tech giant has updated its Xbox app for iOS with new user interface and a new feature.

To stream console games straight on your iPhone or iPad, you need to connect it with your Xbox One and must have a stable connection with over 10Mbps downlink speed.

The updated Xbox app is also able to help users easily set up a new console, a feature many of you will probably appreciate in a little less than a month.

The new Xbox app comes with some cool features outside of Remote Play.

What else does the new Xbox App do?

If your Apple device is connected to WiFi, LTE or 5G, you can interface with your Xbox One. The Xbox app for Android was also refreshed recently with the ability to stream Xbox One games remotely.
