Microsoft’s cloud-based gaming service Xbox Cloud Gaming was actually considered a native app for iPhones and iPods, but Apple clearly rejected the competitor from Redmond and did not allow the mobile app. Microsoft had to reconsider and look for an alternative solution, which is now launched via a web-based browser variant.
Xbox Cloud Gaming can now be used on desktop and mobile browsers in Apple devices – in addition to the official “beta”. However, since this service has already been tested for a long time in the past, one can talk about a pure precautionary measure to deal with potential performance issues or errors in this case.
