TechXbox previews two new ways to control cloud games

Microsoft is testing two Xbox features: using a phone as a controller on smart TVs and connecting the Xbox Nano controller directly to cloud servers over Wi-Fi. Players in the US can preview the latter, while those elsewhere can try the phone controller. Microsoft says both experiences remain in testing, with potentially limited game and device support.
