Xbox previews two new ways to control cloud games
Xbox Cloud Gaming is getting a phone controller and new direct Wi-Fi connectivity for the Xbox Nano.
Xbox Cloud Gaming 正在引入手机控制器功能，并为 Xbox Nano 提供全新的直接 Wi-Fi 连接方式。
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. Two new Xbox previews will let players try out using a phone as a controller on smart TVs, as well as cloud connect on the Xbox Nano to connect directly to cloud servers.
我昨天曾透露，新款 Xbox Nano 控制器支持直接连接到 Xbox Cloud Gaming 的 Wi-Fi 连接，而微软今天正式确认了这一消息。两项新的 Xbox 预览功能将允许玩家尝试在智能电视上使用手机作为控制器，以及通过 Xbox Nano 的云连接功能直接连接到云服务器。
“Instead of a Bluetooth connection to your TV, cloud connect uses your Wi-Fi to connect directly to the cloud server running your game,” says the Xbox team. “That can help reduce input latency, so gameplay may feel more responsive.”
Xbox 团队表示：“云连接功能不再依赖蓝牙连接电视，而是利用 Wi-Fi 直接连接到运行游戏的云服务器。这有助于降低输入延迟，从而使游戏体验更加灵敏。”
Players in the US will be able to preview the new cloud connect option for the Xbox Nano controller starting today. If you’re not in the US you will be able to preview a new phone controller option on smart TVs. The controller is available on the Xbox Cloud Gaming website, allowing people to use the streaming service without a dedicated Bluetooth controller.
美国地区的玩家从今天起即可预览 Xbox Nano 控制器的新云连接选项。如果您不在美国，则可以预览智能电视上的新手机控制器选项。该控制器功能可在 Xbox Cloud Gaming 网站上使用，让用户无需专门的蓝牙控制器即可使用流媒体服务。
Microsoft says “both experiences are still being tested” and that “availability and supported games or devices may be limited” during this beta phase. 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.
微软表示，“这两种体验目前仍处于测试阶段”，并且在测试期间“可用性以及支持的游戏或设备可能会受到限制”。您需要使用 Android 版 Xbox Beta 应用或 PC 上的 Xbox Accessories 应用来设置 Nano 控制器的云连接；而智能电视手机控制器功能只需在 Xbox Cloud Gaming 的“设置”>“账户”部分切换预览功能即可开启。
