Summary
Xbox is testing two new ways to play its cloud games, and one of them doesn't require a controller at all. Announced on Xbox Wire on 4th November, the phone controller preview is rolling out on supported TVs wherever Xbox Cloud Gaming is available. The phone option - which works with both Android and iOS devices - lets you use your phone "as a controller when you don't have one nearby". Connect to your TV via QR code, and the controls open in your phone's browser.
