Xbox Game Pass is available for many platforms, including our mobile phones with iOS and Android, but it is true that until now it was very difficult to enjoy some titles due to 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 an Assassin’s Creed , for example.
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 it has added the possibility of playing 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 in recent 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 novelties such as Scorn , or the newcomer Pentiment , in addition to Amnesia , which are adventures that will come in handy on the smartphone screen to play a few games.
How to play with Assassin’s Creed in touch mode?
The way to do it is quite simple. Just go to the Xbox Game Pass app on Android, or in Safari on iOS, and go to the Assassin’s Creed page you want to play. If you already have touch control active, you will see the icon in the tooltip, right next to the gamepad. If so, tap Play.
Load the game and when you go to access the main menu, you will see all the buttons layout on the screen , which we already warned you that in the case of the two Assassin’s Creed there are many, because all the controls of a standard gamepad like the one in Xbox 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 achieve it and you will finally be able to use your smartphone outside the home to continue the game with your favorite Assassin’s Creed . 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.
