Things to keep in mind while playing Xbox games on iPhone

When the man Tom Warren himself tweets about the iPhone app for Xbox, you have to test it thoroughly and see if the functionality works for real.

However, you need to be a little cautious before setting your gameplay. You don’t want to lose all your history now, do you? Here is a checklist; make sure you have them in command while connecting your iPhone to Xbox.

  • Make sure your device is compatible.
  • Your performance may vary depending on your iOS, so make sure you are updated to the latest iOS for smoother functioning.
  • Always save your progress while playing remotely. You can lose all your game progress if you get disconnected in the middle of the game.
  • Despite the number of connections, only one person can play remotely or locally.
  • You cannot purchase from the store during remote play. In-game is also disabled during remote play.
  • You cannot access back-compat games via remote play.
  • While using remote play, all your external applications on your console are blocked.

Connect Ps4 Controller To Xbox One

Remote play for iOS is a big step because Apple is known for notoriously banning Microsoft in the past. Thus, Microsoft is planning to bring xCloud to iOS and iPadOS via a web-based app rather than waiting for the App Store approval to kick in. Maybe, Apple kicking Epic Games off its platform is Apple’s way of putting a ding in the universe.

With the all-new Xbox app, you can now manage your console using your iPhone. Thus, you can delete and download games to the console so that they are all prepared for you when you get home. Not just that, this is an excellent upgrade for gamers or game streamers, as it will let you take a screenshot and share it across your social media.

Well, this is strange.

Xbox One Controller On Ps4 Remote Play

I just connected the Xbox One S controller to my PlayStation 4. That’s not something I ever expected to do. On August 2, Microsoft will launch the Xbox One S controller for $60, and — in what is an Xbox first — it features a Bluetooth radio. I’ve already connected it to my PC and Android tablet, but then I remembered that the PS4 uses Bluetooth as well. So I got everything set up, and … well, the Xbox One S controller does connect to the PS4.

Check it out:

Unfortunately, that connection doesn’t mean you can use the Xbox One S controller to interact with the PS4 in any way. I couldn’t get any input to register on the PS4 with my Xbox controller despite the system showing it connected as a gamepad.

Maybe I’m missing something, but I’m betting that the PS4 just doesn’t have the necessary Bluetooth drivers to get the Xbox One S pad working, and that’s probably not going to change.
