SN30 Pro Controller for Xbox Cloud Gaming on Android (Bluetooth connection) Verified. N30 Pro 2 (Bluetooth or USB connection) 8BitDo support. Backbone One (Compatible with iOS via Lightning port only) Backbone support. Microsoft's Xbox Cloud Gaming, or xCloud, is testing 1080p streaming internally. Since its launch, Xbox Cloud Gaming has only supported 720p game streaming. This was to save bandwidth and server resources. A 720p stream was not a massive deal for Xbox Cloud Gaming, as it mainly only worked on the small screens of Android phones and tablets. The Xbox Game Pass Ultimate option is $15 per month but works across both Xbox consoles and PC AND it includes xCloud streaming. It also includes Xbox Live Gold which is typically $10 per month.

It’s raining games like Doom, Outriders, Minecraft Dungeons, and many more. And for a spectacular gaming experience, you needn’t spend oodles on a gaming console because the era of cloud gaming has arrived!
