To get this right, you will need an iPhone or an Android smartphone with a USB-C connection and a dedicated controller to use for gaming. One that would work well for this is the Razer Kishi V2, which conveniently has options for both iPhone and Android users. Also, to get this right, you will need a Microsoft Game Pass Ultimate edition subscription, as this is the one that allows you to stream games.

If you are using a separate smartphone to create your handheld Xbox device, it would be best to factory reset your phone and make a fresh start. This ensures that no apps or data are left on your phone to interfere with your gaming fun.

Once you have done this, you need to install the Xbox Game Pass app on your device, which is available on both the iPhone App Store and Google Play Store. From there, you can stream any Xbox titles (and exclusives) with the option of cloud gaming, such as Dishonoured 2, Disney Dreamlight Valley, Fortnite, Forza Horizon 5, and even Halo Infinite. Be reassured if the first game you try isn’t the perfect experience. Some games work better with a small screen than others.
