'Minecraft Dungeons' on XCloud has been Optimized for Touchscreens

Microsoft's long-awaited xCloud game streaming service will officially launch on the 15th of April with more than 150 games. One of the games available is Minecraft Dungeons, and Microsoft has announced that the developers Mojang Studios and Double Eleven will make it easier to play the game on the go by optimizing it for touch controls. You can now play the game on your Android smartphone or tablet without having to connect an external controller.



The majority of Xbox games included in xCloud were created with the Xbox controller as a focus. International Microsoft assumes that most gamers will be using them by attaching a controller to their smartphones. But in this case, Microsoft wanted the game to feel native to mobile devices, so it will have not just touch controls, but also a redesigned interface that is better suited for the small screen. This should make it easier to navigate menus or inventories as well as the small text that might come with it.



Microsoft stated that the most intuitive locations to place the actions (moves melees, melees, ranged attack and dodge) are the areas where the touch controls are most prominent. This is because the game was developed with touchscreen controls in mind, rather than being a secondary factor. Of course, we'll have to play the game ourselves to determine whether they worked however it's a positive sign to be able to see Microsoft thinking about how to make games work as best they can when being played away from your TV and console.
