Xbox云游戏推出两项输入预览：手机可当电视手柄，Nano手柄直连云端降延迟
微软 Xbox 11月4日在 Xbox Wire 发布，Xbox 云游戏推出两项输入方式预览：把手机当作电视手柄，以及名为 cloud connect 的手柄直连云端功能。两项都属测试功能，Xbox 表示可用范围可能受限。
第一项是手机当手柄：在受支持的智能电视上，玩家可以用 Android 或 iOS 手机充当手柄，控制界面直接在手机浏览器中打开，不必另外准备手柄，部分游戏还有为这项功能定制的控制布局。开启方法是在电视端进入 Settings > Account 打开 Preview Features；没有实体手柄直接启动游戏时，屏幕上也会出现这个选项。该功能在 Xbox Cloud Gaming 已开通的国家和地区推出。
第二项 cloud connect 仅面向美国玩家：Xbox Nano Controller 可以经 Wi-Fi 直接连接运行游戏的云服务器，而不是先通过蓝牙连到电视。Xbox 说，这样做的目的是降低输入延迟、让操作响应更快。这项功能目前仍是早期测试，仅在受支持的智能电视与网页端可用。
设置 cloud connect 需要使用 Android 版 Xbox beta 应用，或 PC 版 Xbox Accessories 应用，其中 PC 路径需要加入 Xbox Insider 计划。（来源：Xbox）
Xbox Cloud Gaming Previews Two Input Upgrades: Your Phone Becomes a TV Controller, and the Nano Controller Connects Straight to the Cloud
Microsoft's Xbox announced on Xbox Wire on November 4 that Xbox Cloud Gaming is previewing two new input options: using a phone as a TV controller, and a feature called cloud connect that links a controller directly to the cloud. Both are tests, and Xbox says availability may be limited.
With the first feature, players on supported smart TVs can use an Android or iOS phone as their controller, with the controls opening right in the phone's browser, no separate gamepad needed; some games offer custom control layouts for it. It is switched on under Settings > Account in Preview Features on the TV, and the option also appears when a game is launched with no physical controller connected. The preview is rolling out in countries and regions where Xbox Cloud Gaming is available.
The second feature, cloud connect, is for players in the United States only: the Xbox Nano Controller connects over Wi-Fi directly to the cloud server running the game, instead of pairing by Bluetooth to the TV first. Xbox says the aim is lower input latency and faster response. It is an early test, available only on supported smart TVs and on the web.
Setting up cloud connect uses the Xbox beta app on Android or the Xbox Accessories app on PC, and the PC route requires joining the Xbox Insider program. (Source: Xbox)
