Project xCloud, which was Microsoft’s game-streaming-in-preview, has officially been updated to be called Xbox Cloud Gaming which has been the latest service to be integrated into Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. This service has been tested by thousands of gamers that utilized Project xCloud to stream the games to both mobile devices and any computer connected to the same internet as the console.

One piece of information that went largely unnoticed by gamers is how Minecraft Dungeons is going to be the first game to implement touch controls on the now, completed, cloud streaming platform.

This is a perfect choice for gamers that may want to play this fantastic game while moving or walking around their house rather than being stuck to a nearby TV screen.

The touch controls will need to be fantastic for the game to succeed for Xbox Cloud Gaming, Microsoft and Mojang seemingly went for a more simplistic design.

After loading up the game, the Cloud gaming app will check to see if a controller is connected, if not, then the controls will be displayed on the screen. This stops the touch controls from being present if a controller is wanted to be used.

Mojang Studios even enabled touch controls throughout the menus, meaning if the player wants to use a controller for in-game action but touch controls for the menus they are more than able to. Players can easily navigate through the Map, Inventory, or even the main menu.
