XCloud on Mac: How to Play Xbox Games on Your iPhone or iPad

Are you an Xbox fan looking for a way to play your favorite games on your Mac? Look no further than XCloud, Microsoft's cloud gaming service that allows you to stream Xbox games directly to your iPhone or iPad. In this article, we'll explore the best ways to use XCloud on Mac and provide tips for getting the most out of your gaming experience.

Using Unofficial Apps

Unfortunately, there is no official GameFAQs app, and Microsoft does not support nor have any contact with the makers of these unofficial apps. Using these apps can cause your IP to be blocked indefinitely, as they overload our search engine with traffic. This triggers our anti-spambot measures, designed to stop automated systems from flooding the site with traffic.

Unofficial Phone Apps

Some unofficial phone apps appear to be using GameFAQs as a back-end, but they do not behave like a real web browser does. Using GameFAQs regularly with these browsers can cause temporary and even permanent IP blocks due to these additional requests.

Maxthon and Brave Browsers

If you are using Maxthon or Brave as a browser, or have installed the Ghostery add-on, be aware that these programs send extra traffic to our servers for every page on the site that you browse. This can cause issues with your gaming experience.

Tips for Using XCloud on Mac

To get the most out of XCloud on Mac, here are some tips:

* Use a controller clip to mount your iPhone or iPad on your controller.

* Try using touch controls, which work surprisingly well with many games on the service.

* For the best gaming experience, pair an Xbox or PlayStation controller with your device.

Games That May Not Work Well

Some games may not work as well when played remotely over the internet. These include competitive twitchy first-person shooters like Rainbow Six: Siege, beat 'em ups like Injustice 2, or pixel-perfect platformers like Infernax. If you're experiencing delays and hiccups, it may be better to play something else.

XCloud in Public Beta

Note that Xbox Cloud Gaming is still in public beta as of July 2022. While some people have had great experiences with the service, others have reported mixed results. Your mileage may vary depending on your region and internet connection.

Overall, XCloud offers a convenient way to play Xbox games on your Mac using your iPhone or iPad. With these tips and tricks, you can get the most out of your gaming experience.
