While you can find a full list on Xbox Wire, some of our favorites on the service day one include Batman: Arkham Knight, Battletoads, ClusterTruck, Destiny 2, Forza Horizon 4, Gears 5, Halo: The Master Chief Collection, Sea of Thieves, and Yakuza 0.

Microsoft also promises in the aforementioned Xbox Wire article that some titles from EA Play will also support xCloud when that service is added to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate later this year.

For most Xbox Game Pass games supported by xCloud, you will need some sort of controller to play these games. For those that don't have an extra controller, Microsoft is starting to offer other options. First, they are partnering with third-party companies to produce accessories like the Razer Kishi, a $99 controller that transforms your phone into something that resembles an indie Nintendo Switch alternative.

If you want to spend any money on a peripheral, Microsoft is also starting to test touch controllers for xCloud games. For now, Minecraft Dungeons is the only game that supports it, featuring a 'fully-optimized, native touch controls and a redesigned UI to make it easy to navigate the inventory or in-game menu on a smaller screen' according to Xbox Wire.

About

Because there are many epic must-to-play titles released only as Xbox consoles exclusives (like Mass Effect, Dead Rising, Halo series, the Forza ones, Left 4 Dead and many other ones) we decided to build application which can run these restricted games on other devices too.

What motivated us for taking this move most is that there are thousands of gamers all around the world who just can't afford of getting a Microsoft's consoles. And if we think more deeper into this then if creators of Xbox's games are 'fair' then all of games released for console should be supported for their desktop operating system Windows too. Which gives us conclusion that one of main reasons of inventing Xbox is primarily to milk more money from players.

Where to find & How to load games?
There are three ways to load and play games with BolXEmu:

1. (Desktop only) - If you have an original Xbox One or Xbox360 game disc you can input it inside your PC's drive, run the emulator and load game from the program's option.
