Microsoft is working on making Project xCloud support for on-screen touch controls

Project xCloud is Microsoft's development to take the game anywhere thanks to the everlasting presence of mobile phones, almost always at our side. No casual games, yes, since Project xCloud promises games of graphic quality similar to those of the console thanks to its remote execution.

Project xCloud is Microsoft's bet to face above all Google's Stadia, but also Sony and its PS Now or Nvidia's GeForce Now. To bring the development to a successful conclusion, the American company has been in the test phase with Project xCloud since October.Improve thanks to user feedback with optimizations and additions like this one.

Project xCloud with on-screen controls

This is the ability to play from mobile with touch controls on the screen, a real challenge for Microsoft. The reason is that Project xCloud is above all designed to make use of a traditional controller adapted to the mobile and thus promote the use of games that are originally penalized for consoles.

"

However, although at home it may not be a problem, having to carry > and an adapter can be a handicap in many cases and perhaps this is the reason why which Microsoft has been testing the ability to use on-screen touch controls."

In fact, the company is informing the developers so that they adapt the titles this form of control that would make it possible to dispense with the remote control use the phone's touch screen.

There are many factors that can influence such as the size of the screen or the less gameplay that for many represents the use of controls through virtual button pads on the screen instead of using physical buttons. Challenges for the Redmond company.

Remember that Project xCloud will also support third-party Bluetooth controllers beyond Xbox, and this includes the DualShock 4 from PS4 and Razer gamepads.

The truth is that Microsoft is still working on the development of Project xCloud. It should be remembered that at first it was commented that Project xCloud should reach mobile phones with Android and computers with Windows 10 throughout 2020, but the current situation you can change the dates.
