Thats xcloud though, not remote play. Though similar, they are certainly distinct. There is also an app on the App Store that allows you to display your Xbox to your phone, it’s not via cloud but instead a direct wireless connection. It’s called One Cast and it’s $12. A paired Xbox One controller can be used to play any game that supports controllers on the Mac, whether that’s popular titles like Fortnite, or Apple Arcade games, or many others. The Microsoft Xbox One S and Xbox One X controllers are great controllers to play with and very popular with gamers in general, and now it’s easier than ever to.

Is this really free?
Free for personal use. All we ask is that when installing our virtual controller you also select the option to install our sponsor toolbar. The installation is option, you can say no, but without some source of income, we cannot afford to continue maintaining this for free.
Can I play games like Halo or Call of Duty on my iPhone or iPad?
There are a number of things that will slow your gameplay - your xbox internet connection speed, how far you're playing from, what device you're playing on and how fast the connection speed is. Playing games remotely is better for those that don't require fast response speeds like puzzle games.
My connection is slow, how can I improve my gameplay?
There's a number of things you could do, but ultimately it depends on your connection speed for your Xbox and also your connection speed from where you're trying to play from. The remote control software we recommend has quality control settings, try a smaller screen or optimize for speed over quality.
What if I don't have wifi at home?
Also, we'd recommend connecting your computer and Xbox directly to your router and playing from a remote location directly plugged into your router, not over wifi.
