Xbox tests phone controls for cloud games on smart TVs.

When a game launches without a physical controller connected, Xbox says you’ll get the option to use your phone for that session. Scan the QR code on the TV, and the controls open in your phone’s browser—no separate app needed. The preview supports Android and iOS phones, and some games get layouts tailored to how they play. It’s rolling out on supported smart TVs in countries where Xbox Cloud Gaming is supported; compatible devices and games may still be limited.
