Thanks to the hard work of the Xbox team, over 80 games all now have touch controls on Xbox Game Pass. These are available to access on Android and iOS devices, and even technically on PC (via browser).
The best thing about games with touch controls on Xbox Game Pass is that the controls are specifically tailored to each individual game, in an attempt to deliver the best experience possible. It's never quite the same playing without a dedicated controller, but this is the best alternative you can possibly get.
So, without further ado, here are the 80+ games with touch controls on Xbox Game Pass so far:

I love the effort they're putting in, but I just can't get on with touch controls.
Hoping Octopath Traveler will have touch controls. JRPGs are one genre that’s perfect for touch.

Same. Tried playing Streets of Rage 4 with touch controls on xCloud and it's impossible. I'm covering so much of my smartphone screen with my fingers that I can't see what is going on.
They really need to get the turn-based games on here. With how janky and delayed touch controls are, games like Gears Tactics, Octopath Traveler, Wasteland 3, Desperados 3, Final Fantasy etc... would make a lot of sense. Good luck with twitch games like Celeste.
Just been playing a bit of Dragon Quest XI and it works. Not great, but serviceable. Wouldn’t fancy it for a lot of games though.
@SegataSanshiro I had good luck with The Touryst. But my vote for best touch control and xCloud game period is DQ11S. The service works great with it.
@SegataSanshiro I feel like that’s why they haven’t yet since they are already on the service but I’d love to see FF XIII portable.
They should bet on more slow paced games, like turn based games, as mention before. They're doing great, bunch of games ready for touch control, some of them don't work so well. I'm sure that more will be added as time goes by, overall: Keep up the good work Xbox team!
I tried Touch Controls on my tablet, and it worked way better than my phone honestly. Too bad I never bring my tablet anywhere.
Curious, how many people take advantage of this feature regularly? Might make for a good bi-annual poll! I was thinking of the picture in picture feature on Xbox One, but they removed it due to little use. I think Xbox is setting themselves up for success with this since mobile gaming is dominant amongst all gamers, but I almost never use touch controls
@Kilamanjaro I’m gunna give a shot with Monster Train and Slay the Spire on tablet. StS on smartphones is great, and Monster Train has no mobile version so a tablet might be the best option.
@Spiders I actually played Killer Instinct with touch today and the latency has improved massively from even the start of the summer for cloud games. Hope MS launch a handheld
