Its time for a follow up on the M1 Mac mini (which is my favorite computer on the market).With all the other systems we've seen over the past few months how. However, Microsoft seems to have renewed its intention to get Xbox cloud streaming on Apple devices using a workaround that would avoid the App Store. 'We absolutely will end up on iOS,' Spencer. I have a M1 Mac mini and haven’t had any problem outside of the normal flaws of xCloud, I don’t use Wifi, but have seen that if you are then Location Services can course lag problems with cloud gaming, I have my Wifi on but not connected to a network. If you can’t use Ethernet then try turning Location Services off when playing. Jul 11, 2021 Nov 2, 2006. Macsorcery said: So I signed up for xcloud/gamepass ultimate $1/first month to check it out on my M1 macbook air. I picked up a PS5 DualSense controller. It works on some games but not others. Xcloud working well on Safari for Mac, they should support it officially. Today I was fed up with an issue on Google Chrome for Macs on Apple Silicon that prevents some buttons from working at all on the Xbox Series Controller (LS/RS, Share and Xbox). So I tried playing xcloud directly on Safari.
Microsoft had to abandon its original plans to let people play xCloud games on iPhones and iPads via an iOS app, the same way it does on Android (above photo), but is reportedly “very close” to a public preview of a web-based workaround.
The project shouldn’t be confused with the iOS Xbox app, which lets you stream games from your own Xbox to your phone. xCloud, in contrast, lets you stream games directly from Microsoft servers.
Microsoft employees are said to be testing the approach, with a public preview described as “very close” …
Background
Microsoft’s original plan was an iOS app, and it made a TestFlight version available almost a year ago to the day.
After debuting its Project xCloud streaming game service as a preview last fall on Android [above photo], Microsoft has today launched the preview for iOS via TestFlight. The iOS preview is limited to 10,000 testers with registrations open now […]
While the preview is limited to Halo: The Master Chief Collection Microsoft eventually plans to bring all 3,500+ Xbox games to the service in the years ahead.
We found that the app showed a lot of promise, but things came to a shuddering halt when Apple’s strict App Store policies meant it was no longer feasible. Apple wanted to be able to individually approve every one of the 3,500 games available through the service.
Microsoft expressed its displeasure at Apple’s stance, but didn’t give up. We first heard in October of last year that the company had instead started working on a web-based approach, in which games are played in a browser.

The Verge confirms this, and says that the company is now “very close” to a public preview.
Microsoft has started testing its xCloud game streaming through a web browser. Sources familiar with Microsoft’s Xbox plans tell The Verge that employees are now testing a web version of xCloud ahead of a public preview. The service allows Xbox players to access their games through a browser, and opens up xCloud to work on devices like iPhones and iPads […]

The web version includes a simple launcher with recommendations for games, the ability to resume recently played titles, and access to all the cloud games available through Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. Once you launch a game it will run fullscreen, and you’ll need a controller to play Xbox games streamed through the browser […]
Microsoft is planning some form of public preview of xCloud via the web in the spring, and this wider internal testing signals that the preview is getting very close.
xCloud on the web currently requires a Chrome-based browser, but support for Safari is expected.
