  • 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.

Enjoying Xbox games on your iPhone and iPad

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.
