Game Pass Cloud Gaming: New games add touch controls

The list of playable titles with touch controls via Xbox Game Pass Ultimate Cloud Gaming (formerly Project xCloud)becomes more full-bodied: Microsoft has announced that the already known Minecraft Dungeons is now joined by another 10 games that we can play on our Android phone, wherever we are, without having to connect a controller.

A possibility (of course it will always be possible to play with the controller, for those who prefer it) that will please those who often play streaming outside the home or in conditions in which having a controller with them can be impractical.

Here is the list of new titles that already come with touch controls:

  • Dead Cells
  • Guacamelee! 2
  • Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice
  • Hotshot Racing
  • Killer Instinct
  • New Super Lucky's Tale
  • Slay The Spire
  • Streets of Rage 4
  • Tell Me Why
  • UnderMine, Germany

In many of these cases Microsoft has done a specific adaptation job, in collaboration with the game's developers. So in Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice you have touch controls that dynamically adapt to exploration or combat situations, while for HotShot Racing a virtual video accelerator has been implemented. In addition, in order to make each game usable only with two fingers, in some games new dedicated commands have also been designed, in addition to the usual A, B, X, Y keys, such as "skip" or "dodge".

To make the gaming experience as comfortable as possible you can also customize the location of the controls to video, so you can find the ideal positioning based on the size of your hands and phone.

Are you curious to try this new possibility? And with which games in particular? Microsoft invites all players to give their opinion, as the road to having functional touch controls on games has just begun and our feedback on these early titles can be very important!
