The service will feature improved latency when using an Xbox compatible controller and streams at up to 720p at 60 frames per second. Just make sure you have the Xbox Game Pass app. Once you do, you’ll be able to start that new RPG or adventure game whenever you like.

Pair a controller for Game Pass
Note: When pairing an Xbox controller or the Moga XP5-X Plus controller, you will be prompted with a notification to install the Game Pass app.
In order to fully enjoy your games, you can connect an Xbox or Xbox-compatible Bluetooth controller to your phone. If you prefer to dock your phone when using a controller, you can attach a controller clip accessory.
Before connecting your controller, make sure Bluetooth is enabled on your phone.

On your phone, swipe down from the top of the screen to open the Quick settings panel, and then touch and hold the Bluetooth icon to open the Bluetooth menu. Wait for your controller to appear in the list of available devices, and then select it. Tap Done.
If your controller doesn’t appear, tap Scan to search for it.
