Last September, Microsoft announced the first Xbox game with touch controls, Minecraft Dungeons. Since then, touch controls remain one of the top-requested features for cloud gaming on Android, according to Microsoft.

Today, the company announced it has been working with developers to bring over 50 touch-enabled games that you can play now with Xbox Cloud Gaming (Beta). In addition to Minecraft Dungeons, Xbox touch controls are available with Sea of Thieves, Gears 5, Dragon Quest 11: Echoes of an Elusive Age, Slay the Spire, and many more.

Also announced today, is a new Xbox Game Pass experience on console called Play with Friends.
