Microsoft Previews New Cloud Gaming Controls via Phone and Xbox Nano Wi-Fi Connectivity
Microsoft has officially announced two new preview features for Xbox Cloud Gaming aimed at improving accessibility and reducing latency. The first feature allows users to utilize their smartphones as controllers on smart TVs, providing a way to access the streaming service without requiring dedicated Bluetooth hardware. The second feature introduces 'cloud connect' for the upcoming Xbox Nano controller. This technology bypasses traditional Bluetooth connections to TVs by using Wi-Fi to connect directly to cloud servers, which Microsoft claims will significantly reduce input latency and improve gameplay responsiveness. These features are currently in a beta testing phase with limited availability.
