Xbox Game Pass is available for many platforms, including our iOS and Android mobile phones, but it is true that until now it was very difficult to enjoy some titles because of that mandatory requirement of always having to pair a wireless gamepad. That practically ruled out that we could start them on the bus, in the subway, or sitting in the park… with a Assassin’s Creedfor instance.
Who carries a gamepad in their pocket?
Microsoft has been aware of this problem and proof of this is the decision it has made in the last few hours, where added the ability to play with touch controls directly on the screen of our phone to a new bunch of Game Pass hits. It will no longer be necessary to connect a wireless bluetooth controller to start titles that until now refused to do so, precisely because they did not detect the presence of that hardware.
The list of names was already extensive in some cases, but after the official announcement a few hours ago it has been further expanded with some illustrious games such as two of the best Assassin’s Creed of the last years. This is the full list:
- Amnesia: Collection
- Amnesia: Rebirth
- Assassin’s Creed Odyssey
- Assassin’s Creed Origins
- DC League of Super Pets: The Adventures of Krypto and Ace
- Disney Dreamlight Valley
- Football Manager 2023 Console
- Fugue: Melodies of Steel
- Ghost Song
- Immortals Fenyx Rising
- Opus: Echo of Starsong
- penance
- scorn
- Soma
- You Suck at Parking
As you can see, there are some important news such as scornor the newcomer penance, in addition to the Amnesiawhich are adventures that on the smartphone screen will come in handy to play a few games.
How to play with Assassin’s Creed in touch mode?
The way to do it is quite simple. You just have to access the Xbox Game Pass application on Android, or in Safari within iOS, and go to the page of the Assassin’s Creed that you want to play If you already have the touch control function active, you will see the icon in the description, right next to the gamepad. If so, tap Play.
Load the game and when you go to access the main menu, vyou are all the layout of buttons on the screenthat we already warned you that in the case of both Assassin’s Creed there are many, because all the controls of a standard gamepad like the Xbox one offer some functionality.
We already warned you that getting used to it is complicated, especially with the arrangement of the triggers when aiming or shooting, which becomes somewhat complicated. But with a little time it is certain that if you insist you will get it and you can finally use your smartphone outside the home to continue the game with your Assassin’s Creed favorite. Something that until now, remember, needed to pair a wireless gamepad that made it practically impossible to connect anywhere.
It goes without saying that the list of Xbox Game Pass compatible games with this touch control will grow in the near future, so keep an eye on each new communication from Microsoft.
