Microsoft is introducing a new Xbox Cloud Gaming preview that allows users to use their phones as controllers on supported smart TVs. This feature works with both Android and iOS devices and does not require downloading an app. Users connect by scanning a QR code on their TV, and the controls open in their phone's browser. Some games will feature control layouts tailored to their gameplay. Additionally, Microsoft is previewing cloud connect for the Xbox Nano Controller in the US, which allows the controller to connect directly to cloud servers over Wi-Fi, potentially reducing input lag. These new features are part of Microsoft's efforts to enhance the Xbox Cloud Gaming experience, making it more accessible and convenient for users.
