Microsoft is greatly expanding the number of titles you can play with touch controls on Xbox Cloud Streaming. In a blog post on Tuesday, Xbox announced that 50+ additional titles now have touch-based controls so you can play them without a controller.

These include Sea of Thieves, Gears 5, Slay the Spire, Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of An Elusive Age, Hellblade, Tell Me Why, and Dead Cells. You can see the full list of the 53 games that support touch controls below, as shared on Microsoft's website.

Xbox Cloud Streaming is included with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. For now, it requires an Android phone or tablet, but Microsoft is teasing an iOS release soon.

The addition of these touch-enabled games is just the latest expansion of Xbox Cloud Streaming. Just recently, Microsoft added backwards-compatible Xbox 360 titles to the streaming library; this was one of the top-request community features.
