Currently you can play your favourite Xbox roms games such as 007 - Agent Under Fire, 187 Ride Or Die and other with Xbox emulator. Simply download the Xbox emulator from our website and play Xbox roms on your home computer or any other smart device. Win+G it with Xbox Game Bar, the customizable, gaming overlay built into Windows 10. Xbox Game Bar works with most PC games, giving you instant access to widgets for screen capture and sharing, finding new teammates with LFG, and chatting with Xbox friends across Xbox console, mobile, and PC—all without leaving your game. To access the new feature, install the Android Xbox (beta) app, and search for a game. There should be a new option 'Download To Console.' If you have more than one Xbox One, you will need to.
If you subscribe to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, you likely now have access to Microsoft's xCloud game streaming abilities, and can immediately jump into one of more than 150 games — today is the official launch of Microsoft's xCloud service. Many more games will come later this quarter, when the EA Play catalog of games gets added.
Let's run through what you need to try it yourself today.
It's possible that you might already have all the necessary components to make it happen — on Android, anyhow. But if you're looking to try out xCloud on an iPhone, the process unfortunately begins and ends right here. Apple hasn't made an exception for xCloud or any other game streaming service to exist on its App Store, and it doesn't seem like it will budge.
As my colleague Tom Warren put it, 'Apple wants companies like Microsoft to individually submit their games as separate apps using its streaming tech,' and Microsoft doesn't want to do that, calling Apple's requirements 'a bad experience for customers'.
But assuming you've got an Android device, here's what you'll need to try it yourself:
- A subscription to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, the Microsoft service that costs $14.99 per month and also provides a catalog of Game Pass games on both console and PC, as well as Xbox Live Gold for online multiplayer, and discounts on games.
- An Android phone or tablet that's running Android 6.0 Marshmallow or later, and has Bluetooth 4.0 or greater. You'll need such a device to download the app from the Google Play Store. As mentioned before, Apple is currently taking a hard stance in not allowing any cloud game streaming services, including xCloud, on its App Store for iPhones.
- A compatible controller to connect to your phone or tablet over Bluetooth, or USB. In regards to connecting via USB, you should be able to use a micro USB (which the DualShock 4 and Xbox wireless controllers use) to USB-A cable with an OTG adapter (micro USB, USB-C) to fit your phone's charge port. The Bluetooth-ready Xbox One wireless controller will work just fine if you add a phone clip, but note that the older one with glossy plastic near the shoulder buttons doesn't support Bluetooth.
(You can also try one of the fleet of xCloud-ready controllers that were recently announced, including PowerA's MOGA XP5-X, the 8Bitdo SN30 Pro for Xbox, or Razer's Kishi for Xbox, each of which include a clip or other spot for your phone. The Xbox Elite Gen 2 controller will also work, as will the forthcoming Xbox Series S / X controllers that have found their way into the hands of some lucky buyers. Microsoft is working to adapt on-screen touch controls for some of its games when a controller isn't available, though that feature isn't available at launch.)
- Lastly, a fast Wi-Fi or cellular connection. Microsoft suggests connecting to your router via a 5GHz Wi-Fi signal, but whether you're at home or connected to an LTE or 5G tower, you should have download speeds of at least 10Mbps for a good experience. You can check your download speeds at speedtest.net.
Now that you have everything necessary to try out xCloud, here's how to do it in the Xbox Game Pass app.
Download the Xbox Game Pass app
Before xCloud officially released, the feature was limited to the beta version of the Game Pass app on Android. That's no longer the case, so if you search 'Game Pass' on your phone in the Play Store, make sure to down the stable non-beta version with a green background, not the one with a white background as its icon (that's the beta).
Apps On Xbox 360
Connect a controller via Bluetooth or USB
As mentioned before, there are several compatible controllers that you can connect to your phone or tablet via Bluetooth. If you're using Microsoft's official Xbox controller with Bluetooth support or Sony's DualShock 4, here's how to connect them. Alternatively, you can connect a controller via USB. If you don't have one connected before launching a game, the app will warn you to do so.
It's also a good idea to get a clip to mount your phone to your controller for easy viewing. PowerA offers a $14.99 model that connects to Microsoft's Xbox wireless controller with Bluetooth support. Undertale game free. Some controllers also include one with purchase.
Boot the app and launch a game

Once you're signed in with your Microsoft account, you'll should tap or select the 'cloud' option beneath the top section of the app where it shows a highlighted game.
After that's selected, every game you see below should be eligible for you to play right from your phone or tablet. Go ahead and click one, then hit 'Play' on the next screen as seen below. It'll take a few moments for your device to boot into the game, but once it does, your save data will automatically sync with your progress on your Xbox One and PC, if you've already started the game there.
Update, September 15th: Added more context now that xCloud has officially launched today.
Early downloading of games to Xbox consoles via the Android version of the Xbox app was revealed this week. This system allows users to download any Xbox game to any (compatible) Xbox system regardless of purchase status. So the purchase of the game – digital or physical – only acts as a key to unlock the content you've already loaded to your machine.
Microsoft finally figured it out. Via the Android app for Xbox, and with relatively little fanfare, Microsoft released a feature that detaches the downloading of a game from the purchase of a game. But why would you want to download a game that you don't own, and cannot play?
Xbox has a new feature that allows you to download and install any game, even if you don't own it. For example if you have ordered a 💿 version of the game you will be able to preload the game before your 💿 arrives. Meaning you can play the game the moment you insert the 💿.

There are several situations that this feature reveals, several moves that simply could not be made before this feature was delivered. Let's take a peek at the lot:
• Download a game now, save up money via chores at home, buy and play game in an instant.
• Download a game now, buy the physical disc version of said game (possibly cheaper than digital, you never know), and play said game as soon as it arrives in the mail.
• Download a game now, get used to the idea of the game being ready-to-play on your Xbox, motivate self to finish tasks around the house before buying and playing.
Sound like a good idea to you? Let us know if you plan on downloading any games before you own them via the Xbox app for Android, or forever hold your data!
