10 Xbox Game Pass titles support touch controls on Android

Ten Xbox Game Pass titles now support touch controls when streaming to Android smartphones and tablets via xCloud.

Here’s the list of games featuring Xbox touch controls available beginning today:

  • Dead Cells
  • Gucamelee! 2
  • Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice
  • Hotshot Racing
  • Killer Instinct
  • New Super Lucky’s Tale
  • Slay The Spire
  • Streets of Rage 4
  • Tell Me Why
  • UnderMine

“As we develop our knowledge around touch controls, we’re also taking the opportunity to learn a few things about how these controls work in different games. With the team at Ninja Theory we worked on Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice to integrate the controls and how they show up in different scenarios and game modes. As a result, you’ll see the controls change as you move around and fighting controls will appear when you encounter the Northmen,” Catherine Gluckstein, GM & Head of Product for xCloud, wrote on Xbox Wire.

“For other games, we added touch controls without modifying the existing game. In Hotshot Racing we added a touch-controlled throttle that provides the same control that you would get from analog triggers on a controller. Just tap the handbrake button, spin the wheel, and you’ll find yourself drifting around the track in no time. In New Super Lucky’s Tale, the controls will feel very familiar and will even take on a little bit of Lucky’s personality.”

To take advantage of the feature, you’ll need to be an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscriber with access to xCloud (sadly, that’s us Australians out… for now). If you can, give it a go and let us know what you think in the comments, below.
