ANDROID users will be able to stream Xbox Game Pass games to their smartphone next month with the launch of xCloud.

Microsoft is bringing a beta version of the cloud gaming service to 22 countries on September 15.

Android users will soon be able to play over 100 of their favourite Xbox games on their phone

The trial will only be avaliable to Game Pass Ultimate subscribers but they’ll be able to report back on it’s success.

Microsoft has been working on its cloud gaming service for a while now.

It aims to let you “play your games anywhere, anytime” by letting you stream your Xbox games to your phone.

There’s currently no word on when xCloud could be coming to iPhone or iPad.

Luckily for Games Pass subscribers, xCloud won’t cost any extra.

That means the whole service only costs $14.99 a month or £10.99 in the UK.

Users will be able to access 100+ games on their Android device, including Destiny 2 and Gears 5.

Microsoft has announced several mobile controllers that users can get for their Android device.

These include the PowerA MOGA XP5-X Bluetooth controller as well as the Razer Kishi and the 8BitDo SN30 Pro controllers.

You can also use a standard Xbox One controller if you don’t want to invest in a new one.

PlayStation 4 DualShocks are also said to work.

Some Xbox fans have already been using the Project xCloud preview but that will be shutting down on September 11.

In other news, furious gamers have threatened to delete Call of Duty after being forced to download another giant update.

The next Halo video game may have a free multiplayer mode that players can tuck into even if they haven’t bought a disc.
