If you have the latest version of iOS or iPadOS, the Apple TV Remote is automatically added to Control Center. If you have an earlier version of iOS, manually add the Apple TV Remote to Control Center. To use the Apple TV Remote with an AirPlay 2-compatible smart TV, add your smart TV to the Home app and assign it to a room.
- PS4 Remote Play isn’t all that functionally different from Valve’s Steam Link app, which Apple shot down last May merely a day after Valve announced its upcoming release. Both apps are owned.

Gamers will be happy to know that you can now stream Xbox games to Apple devices with Xbox remote play. As part of Microsoft’s newly updated Xbox app for iOS, simply stream games from your console to your iPhone or iPad. Android users have already had this feature as part of the recently updated Xbox app. So, it’s nothing new for them. However, Apple users can now see this as a step in the right direction after the debacle of no access to Xbox GamePass.

Although Apple users still don’t have access to Xbox GamePass’ catalogue of games, this is a good move for gamers. Simply start up your Xbox One console and stream your game library to your Apple device for free.
In addition to the recent Xbox UI redesign, the new Xbox app features a new notification system and Xbox Party & Chat. Also, the Share feature makes it easier to share your game clips and screenshots to your favourite social media sites.
According to Xbox Wire, “The new Xbox app (Beta) has been rewritten from the ground up making it easier for all gamers to stay connected to your friends, games and fun at home or on the go, no matter what device they prefer to play on.”
So, what do I need for Xbox remote play?
All you need is a compatible iPhone/iPad, an Xbox One console, an Xbox profile and a good internet connection. Lastly, you will need an Xbox Wireless Controller with Bluetooth. With this in mind, the original Xbox One controllers (pre-Bluetooth) won’t work here.
The Xbox app is available now, so head on to the Apple’s App Store (iOS) and hit download. To keep up to date with Xbox announcements, check out Xbox news as it comes in thick and fast. For a wider array of gaming news, visit Informed Pixel and follow us on Twitter and Facebook.
Streaming is the big thing in entertainment these days, including in gaming. There are, however, two ways to stream games, with the most known one being the Netflix-style streaming from a remote computer ala Google Stadia. There is, however, another kind of streaming that lets you remotely play games already installed on a PC or console. That’s exactly the kind that iPhone and iPad owners can now enjoy with the latest Xbox mobile app while Microsoft figures out how to get around Apple’s cloud game streaming restrictions.
The likes of Google Stadia and NVIDIA GeForce NOW only stream games that have been installed on remote servers and have been technically purchased by proxy through those services. In contrast, PlayStation’s and Xbox’s Remote Play features require you to own both console and game and that these can be run from somewhere at your home or room. The game is then streamed to your mobile device connected to the same 5GHz Wi-Fi network.
Apple Remote Battery
Xbox Remote Play has, however, one special feature that almost skirts around Apple’s restrictions against game streaming. You can actually stream games from your Xbox console over a mobile connection, even when you’re not at home. Think of it similar to hosting your own cloud game streaming service at home or, perhaps more appropriately, remotely accessing your Xbox computer via the Internet.
There are, of course, some limitations, the primary of which will be the steady connection the streaming will require. While the Xbox mobile app does support a long list of Xbox generations, only the Xbox One and upcoming Xbox Series X|S support Remote Play. And while you can seemingly control your Xbox console’s basic functions remotely, there is no indication you’ll be able to buy Xbox games through the app that way.
It's official. The new Xbox App is ready for download.

Apple Tv 2 Remote App
The latter might be an important consideration that allowed the Xbox mobile app into Apple’s iOS App Store in the first place. Then again, Apple does sometimes revoke an app’s approval after the fact because of some policy violation that it sometimes adds only after that incident.
