One of the best features of Xbox Cloud Gaming is how certain games are getting support for touch screen controls on mobile devices. Players can simply boot up the game and get going without having to find a controller. It makes playing on commutes easier and opens up new ways of experiencing the game. Hades is the most recent titles to be added to the service, and surprise, it also comes with touch screen controls.
The confirmation came from Xbox's very own Aaron Greenberg, who was just as shocked as we are to learn the game has launched on day one with touch controls. Xbox boss Phil Spencer also had this to say:
There are a wide range of games that now support touch controls on Xbox Cloud Gaming, with more being added on a regular basis. In our experience, we've found the feature actually enhances some games when playing them on a mobile device. Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age was one that really stuck out to us, making its turn-based battles a breeze to play through. The more the merrier!
Happy to see Hades incorporate touch controls? Let us know in the comments below.

I can confirm that touch controls work great for DQ 11, but I still prefer a gamepad of some sort. Still, it's great that xCloud makes it possible to use touch controls on more and more games 👍
Good luck playing that with touch controls lol! They need to add touch control to every turned-based game.
I think I'll pass on using touch controls or even xcloud for a rogue like thanks. I couldn't imagine the frustration of losing a run due to a little input lag.
That's awesome! But..... For some reason on the android app, the play button is grayed out and I can't launch it. Works on pc, bit, then, touch doesn't matter.
