![]() ![]() This nifty mobile gaming option is well around the corner, and expectedly it should roll out for Xbox Game Pass users with Surface Duo shortly. Interestingly, some games, that support motion controls, will be able to take advantage of Surface Duo’s built-in gyro.įor instance, if you were playing Gears 5 via Xbox Game Pass on the Surface Duo, you can navigate the environment by moving the handset around. With the new update for dual-screen devices, the gamers can now have the game running on one screen of the Surface Duo with touch controls conveniently placed on the second.īy separating the two screens, the Surface Duo can function as a Nintendo DS-style console for seamless gaming. Microsoft is updating its Xbox Cloud Gaming (xCloud) app for Android, and it includes dual-screen support for the Surface Duo. If you have played Xbox Game Pass on your regular brick device, you’ll know the touchscreen controls – which of course allow you to play without a controller or peripherals attached – consume a lot of screen real estate. Microsoft Has Turned the Surface Duo Into a Handheld Xbox () 6 Posted by BeauHD on Monday 06:00PM from the improved-experiences dept. Currently, only in Beta, the update is likely to make it into the main app soon. Maybe then the Surface Duo can be more than a gaming device.With such controls on offer, Surface Duo may provide the most seamless way to experience Xbox Game Pass on a mobile device, when the update makes to the main Game Pass app. If the rumors are true and Microsoft is readying a Surface Duo 2, we would like to see better cameras, a faster processor and the latest version of Android. ![]() It could have been OK somewhere in the middle, but it even failed to accomplish that. It's a bad phone, and it's a lackluster tablet. But novelty alone does not make a good device, and the Surface Duo is far from a good device. I think the Surface Duo is neat and I appreciate Microsoft trying something new. They'll also be better at most other tasks, too, like being phones. As it stands right now, the Surface Duo is a one trick pony, offering the best Game Pass experience for the titles that support touch controls.īut if you spring for something like the Razer Kishi, you can turn the best Android phones into powerful Game Pass devices. ![]() I don't think anyone should buy a smartphone or tablet for one purpose only - that's just an poor use of money for most people. It still has glitches and oddities so long after its release, and it was far too expensive when it launched. From underwhelming performance to no 5G and a bad camera, it fails to make a case for itself. The Surface Duo has little going in its favor. The Fold 3 is far more pocketable than than Microsoft's device, too. But when you look at something like the Galaxy Z Fold 3, which is both a phone and a tablet, you start to wonder where in the world the Surface Duo fits in. I digress.īut some might argue that the Surface Duo is meant to be more of a tablet than a phone, and I'd agree. ![]() It has added touch controls on the second screen of the Surface Duo.This was first teased almost two years ago, and it is finally available through an update to the Xbox Cloud Gaming app for Android. I know some of you fans of Microsoft's dead mobile OS might hate me for that, but I used it and it was never good. Microsoft has finally released an update that turns the Surface Duo into a handheld Xbox. This is a botched attempt by Microsoft to get into the Android space after the failure that was Windows Phone. Hell, it doesn't even have Android 11 yet and Android 12 is right around the corner. As cool as this whole dual-screen thing is, it doesn't take away from the fact that the Microsoft Surface Duo just sucks at almost everything a phone/tablet should do. ![]()
