According to a latest behavioral study, a large number of gamers use touch controls on Xbox Cloud Gaming.
Microsoft’s Xbox Cloud Gaming is gaining in importance as time goes on. If the study relies heavily on its catalog of games offered as part of Xbox Game Pass, Ultimate subscribers have seen clear improvements in the cloud gaming portion. Since its inception under the name Project xCloud, Xbox Cloud Gaming has expanded to more than a hundred games and all types of media.
Today, you can play in the cloud via the web, the Xbox PC app, and even recently via consoles. But there is still a platform that supports the functionality: mobile devices. In fact, to tailor its service to the majority of gamers, Microsoft has endeavored to add touch controls to many titles, which players can discover at any time from iOS or Android.
Playing on mobile, the new normal?
These may seem anecdotal to many gamers, with PC or console games being the “standard” today. However, we have already seen in 2020 that mobile is occupying an increasingly important place among gamers. Microsoft confirms the phenomenon by revealing that 20% of Xbox Cloud Gaming players exclusively use touch controls to play games. Then a developer explains that he is “ It is important to us that the touch games we release are relevant and, above all, that they work well with touch controls. ».
It also released the list of the most played games with touch controls. For the latter, 30% of title players only use touch controls to play the game, a record to date. Here is the list :
- hell
- New Super Lucky tale
- Yakuza: like a dragon
- Scarlet nexus
- Dragon’s Quest XI
- Minecraft Dungeons
- Football Manager 2022 Xbox Edition
Xbox Cloud Gaming hits the mark
Therefore, the developer explains: ” We have seen, on average, a doubling of the use of titles available through Xbox Cloud Gaming, of all genres, that implement touch controls. “This not only attests to the popularity of touchscreen controls, but also the popularity of mobiles as a favorite medium, which is always interesting.
As a reminder, Xbox Cloud Gaming is only available through the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription and therefore gives you access to the entire library of games that Microsoft offers as part of this subscription at € 12.99 per month. There is a wide variety of games available in the cloud, which you can experience on PC, consoles, or even mobile devices. In addition, many are compatible with touch controls, to play on the go.
