At Xbox, we’re about giving our fans choice so they can play the games they want, with the people they want, wherever they want. Last September, we expanded our licensed Designed for Xbox accessories to include mobile games, along with the launch of Xbox Cloud Gaming (Beta) on Android with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. This has been an epic feat for many teams, and we couldn’t be prouder when our community plays their favorite titles on the go with their favorite mobile accessories.
Today we announce the addition of our Designed for Xbox Mobile gaming accessories to iOS devices. And with Xbox Cloud Gaming (Beta) available starting today for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate members on Windows 10 PCs and Apple smartphones and tablets through web browsers, we’re making it easier to play the deepest, most immersive games when and where always you want.
With product launches from leading mobile accessories partners and more on the way, we can’t wait to see where fans will take their game next.
