The Xbox app on smartphones is certainly not one of the best applications out there. But with every update it gets a little better, at least in theory. Because in the past Microsoft removed a feature that many fans have painfully missed since then.
There are many opportunities in a world in which every device is connected to each other. For example, it turns out to be very practical for us gamers to buy games on our smartphone on the go and then to initiate the download directly on our consoles.
However, there was actually a bitter dampers for Xbox fans here. Because buying games on the way was simply not possible for months. Now Microsoft announced that the smartphone app receives an update and mobile purchases are possible again.
So you can also acquire games and additional content on the go, manage your game pass subscription and redeem advantages. Pre -orders also make the app update possible, first of all they are available on end devices with iOS and Android.
There is also an innovation regarding Remote Play of installed games. These should now be playable on each end device with an internet browser. To do this, stream them from your console and receive the best possible quality on weaker systems accordingly. However, Remote Play is no longer possible via the Xbox app.
In addition, the "Stream Your Own Game" program was again expanded. This allows you to stream purchased games at any time, but a subscription to the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate is also necessary. The system now supports over 100 games by the new additions.
