Project xCloud is finally live, adding over 150 of the best Xbox One games to mobile devices through Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. For a low monthly sub, you can instantly access dozens and dozens of great games via the cloud, streaming them directly to your Android device. What games are actually well-suited to the service, though? Which games take advantage of the best phones for Project xCloud, or the best tablets for Project xCloud to their full potential? Here are our top picks, with pros and cons, including latency, screen size, and other features.

Project xCloud is now Xbox Game Pass Cloud Gaming, giving access to over 150 games right on your Android device. Microsoft hasn’t got the service onto iOS yet due to Apple’s draconian App Store policies, but if the service takes off on Android, we expect Apple will eventually cave to the pressure.

Games like Mutant Year Zero and Thronebreaker make for great titles in environments where you don’t have the best pings. Since they’re turn-based, you can be sure that an inopportune lag spike will get you killed, and you can play at your own pace. The same thing goes for Two Point Hospital and Untitled Goose Game, which have relatively low-stakes, slower-paced play. For better connections, you can run more action-packed games like Children of Morta and Carrion, which benefit from fixed camera angles for better responsiveness from the video feed.

The game at the top of the list, though, is easily Minecraft Dungeons, which is one of the few games to support full touch controls. As an action RPG, Minecraft Dungeons lets you and up to three other friends jump into Minecraft’s famed blocky world, tackling various adventures that threaten the innocent villagers of the land. Create epic builds, find rare gear, and do it all from your phone, with save files that sync directly to your Xbox console at home too.
