Microsoft also confirmed something that it talked a little bit about last September regarding Xbox Touch Controls for Cloud-enabled games. That experience began with Minecraft Dungeons and given that it’s a highly requested feature, Team Green has confirmed that the company has been working with a ton of different devs to bring Cloud mobile players over 50 touch-enabled games with Xbox Cloud Gaming (which is currently still in beta).
Xbox WireWhat is Xbox Game Pass and is it worth it?
Wondering what the Xbox Game Pass has to offer and if it’s even worth it? The subscription service has grown exponentially since its launch, and the value is unparalleled on the current market. For those still flirting with the idea of making the jump, there are two options to choose from with the normal Xbox Game Pass and Game Pass Ultimate. Xbox Game Pass is $9.99, whereas the Ultimate version includes Xbox Live for $14.99.
It’s honestly a really good deal, especially if you’re a little pickier when it comes to games and the price for many rising to $70. Xbox Game Pass allows players access to over 100 titles at no additional cost outside of the membership, including first-party day one additions and acquired studio games (like Bethesda through ZeniMax).
