Xbox Cloud Gaming is making it easier for users to jump into games on the big screen without needing extra hardware. A new update allows players to use their smartphone as a virtual controller when streaming titles on supported smart TVs.

This functionality eliminates the requirement of owning or pairing a physical wireless gamepad. By offering touch controls directly on the mobile display, the feature opens up gaming to more casual players who want to jump into a session quickly.

The feature enhances overall accessibility for cloud streaming, bridging the gap between mobile convenience and the living room experience. For full details on compatibility and how to enable the feature, check the original report on Android Authority.
