![]() ![]() It’s a miserable, frustrating experience. But for the sale of your sanity, don’t try to do this with on-screen controls. ![]() With Xbox Cloud Gaming you can play console games on an iPhone in your dorm room or on a break at work.

RiotPWR Controller for iOS (Xbox Edition) final thoughts The RiotPWR Controller for iOS (Xbox Edition) is an outstanding way to enjoy Xbox Cloud Gaming on an iPhone. And there are other third-party games, too. Just about all the Apple Arcade games also support external controllers. Head over to Microsoft’s site to see a list of the 100+ other titles available.Īnd you’re not locked into Xbox. If you need help getting started, I wrote a “how to” on setting up an iPhone to play Fortnite, one of the many games available via Xbox Cloud Gaming. RiotPWR bundles a free month of Xbox Cloud Gaming with this accessory, so you can try before committing. ![]() If your Wi-Fi is weak, your screen will occasionally stall and then return, during which the game keeps going and your character possibly dies because you can’t see what’s going on. Online gaming is wonderfully fun if your iPhone uses a fast, stable connection. In my testing of it and other cloud gaming services, all problems are Wi-Fi related. You won’t have problems with the controller, but Xbox Cloud Gaming isn’t perfect. It was no problem with RiotPWR’s controller. I think that’s physically impossible to do with on an iPhone touchscreen. I played a game that required me to simultaneously hold down the left and right trigger while steering with the left stick and pressing the X button to jump. You can game with on-screen virtual controls but I very, very strongly recommend using a controller instead. It’s not 100% the same as having an Xbox in your living room, but the differences have nothing to do with the controller. ![]()
