Automated excerpt
I revealed yesterday that the new Xbox Nano controller supports a Wi-Fi connection directly to Xbox Cloud Gaming, and now Microsoft is making it official today. The controller is available on the Xbox Cloud Gaming website, allowing people to use the streaming service without a dedicated Bluetooth controller. You’ll need to use the Xbox beta app for Android or the Xbox Accessories app on PC to set up cloud connect on the Nano controller, and the smart TV phone controller just requires a toggle of preview features from the Settings > Account section of Xbox Cloud Gaming.
