Xbox Wire announces two early previews for XBOX Cloud Gaming, rolling out today on supported Smart TVs and for U.S. players.
On compatible Smart TVs, users can use a supported Android or iOS phone as a controller through the phone’s browser, eliminating the need for a separate device, and some games will provide controls tailored to the experience.
To enable the phone‑as‑controller feature, go to Settings > Account > Preview Features on the latest supported Smart TV, then launch a game without a physical controller to see the option.
The U.S. preview also includes cloud connect with the new XBOX Nano Controller, which connects via Wi‑Fi directly to the cloud server, helping reduce input latency and improve responsiveness.
Both experiences are still being tested, with limited availability, and feedback can be submitted through the preview interface; detailed setup instructions are available on the Xbox support site.
