What is the Mobile Gaming?
Online gaming has evolved. Where before you would need one console to play your games, you can now take your online experience virtually anywhere. On the go from your phone, on your laptop at a friend's house or wherever your game takes you.
You can start playing on whatever portable gaming device suits you through the simple steps and quick guides below, whether you're a single-player or prefer multiplayer mobile games we have just what you need.
Xbox Cloud:
Xbox Cloud is the official cloud gaming service offered through Xbox Game Pass. To access Xbox Cloud, you need to be an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate member and have a compatible controller. The service isn't free, but it's included with Game Pass Ultimate subscription.
How do I access the Xbox cloud?
To play Xbox Cloud games, you can install the Xbox Game Pass app on your device or access it through the Xbox website. Sign in or create an account, and you'll have access to a wide range of games included in the Xbox Game Pass.
Keep in mind that a stable and high-speed internet connection is necessary for cloud streaming. The Xbox Game Pass app is available on Windows PC, and for other platforms, you may need to use the Xbox website for access.
PlayStation Now/PS Plus Premium:
What is PlayStation Now?
All of the users asking “Does PlayStation have cloud gaming?” Can finally get their answer. Yes. If you are unaware of what PS Now is, it is PlayStation’s first game streaming service. Allowing you to play a series of games on the device you choose. Again, you do have to pay for PlayStation Now and you will need a consistent high-speed internet connection.
Accessing PlayStation Now on your console is as easy as anything. When you subscribe, a menu for PS Now will appear in your main menu. All you have to do is go into it. But for mobile and other devices, it is a little bit different of course. To get PS Now on your phone, you will have to install the PS Remote Play app. This app will guide you through the process and give you access to all of the games available. The same applies to Windows PCs. You can easily find a download link on the PlayStation website if you cannot find one.
Just like the Xbox cloud, you will need a compatible PlayStation controller for PlayStation Now cloud gaming to work.
UPDATE Many of you may be aware of the recent changes to PS Plus. Rather than a single subscription, there are three different tiers. PS Plus Essential, Extra and Premium. What does this have to do with mobile gaming? With this change, PS Now has been combined with the PS Plus Premium subscription tier. This means that to get mobile gaming with PlayStation, you need to get PS Plus Premium. However if you already had PS Now when the change occurred, you should have been automatically upgraded to PS Plus Premium. If not, you will have to upgrade.
Google Stadia:
Google Stadia is a new addition to the realm of mobile gaming. Unlike the other mentioned cloud gaming services, Google Stadia doesn't require payment for access, although an optional Stadia Pro subscription offers enhanced graphics and performance. The cost mainly comes from purchasing games.
How does Google Stadia work?
Using Google Stadia is straightforward: if you can access Google Chrome, you can access Stadia. Begin by signing up on the official Stadia website, then install the Stadia app on your device. You can also play directly on the Stadia website for most devices. Compatibility extends to Chromecasts and Android TVs. Although not mandatory, using a controller is recommended for an optimal gaming experience.
Portable Consoles:
Which portable console should I buy?
Gaming handhelds are great for gaming on the go. The Nintendo Switch is a highly recommended choice for both portable and home gaming. Renowned for its extensive game library and versatility, it's a top-selling console that offers thousands of highly rated games. There is also the Nintendo switch OLED which is a great choice, its OLED screen creates stunning graphics.
