Can't Get Remote Play to Work on My iPhone?

-

I’ve been trying to use remote play on my iPhone since they moved it from the Xbox App to their website. When I visit the remote play page, my Series X console shows up, but tapping on it doesn’t do anything. I can hold down to see options like renaming or removing the device, but I can’t actually play remotely. I’m really frustrated because they said moving it to the website would make it easier, but this isn’t working for me. Is anyone else having the same issue, or does anyone have suggestions?

I found a workaround! If you go to the Cloud gaming page and add it to your Home Screen, it basically turns that page into an app. That fixed it for me on my iPhone!

Remote play actually still shows up on the Xbox app for some users. What version are you using? I updated mine just yesterday, and I still have the option available.

I had remote play working just fine earlier, but then last night it wasn’t connecting. I found out that there was an update for the app, and after that, it switched from showing ‘Remote play on this device’ to ‘How to remote play,’ which just takes you to the website that isn’t working.

Yeah, I heard they made changes to push users towards their website instead. Seems like a big step back!
