The Xbox Beta App Gets Remote Play, Party Chat, and More in Latest Update

Following the launch last week of the Xbox Game Pass Beta app on Android, Microsoft has updated the Xbox Beta app with a host of fairly radical new features.

Chief among them is probably remote play, a feature that allows you to stream a game to your phone from your own console. This will be available through a new Xbox app when the Xbox Series X and S launch this year, but you can try it out on the beta app right now.

Also included in the update is the ability to capture in-game clips and screenshots and share them through the app. Plus, you can now use the Xbox Beta app to party chat across devices, and set-up and queue games.

Existing features include notifications for game invites, messages, and so on. To have a play, download the Xbox Beta app for free right now from the Google Play Store.
