Microsoft may have struggled to get its cloud streaming service onto iOS devices, but at least you can now remotely play your Xbox One games on an iPhone or iPad. All you need is the latest version of the Xbox app. While cloud streaming is the cooler idea, this new remote streaming feature offers a free way to play your Xbox One (and soon Xbox Series X) games on the go.

Updating the Xbox app is just one piece of the remote streaming puzzle, though. There are also several restrictions and hardware requirements you should be aware of.

Xbox games that you want to stream must be installed locally on your Xbox One console, or inserted into the disc drive. Again, this feature is intended for streaming your games over Wi-Fi or mobile data; it is not cloud streaming.

The Xbox app's streaming feature only supports Xbox One games, meaning you won't be able to play Xbox 360 or original Xbox games even if they're installed on your Xbox One console. You also won't be able to play PC Game Pass games installed on your PC. That said, the Xbox app's remote play will support the upcoming Xbox Series X and Series S from day one.
