You need to make sure you’ve downloaded the new Xbox app from the App Store to take advantage of this remote play feature.
The new feature only connects to your console and not xCloud.
It will support Xbox One and Xbox Series X / S games but any games for older consoles cannot be streamed.
You can connect the app and your console over, WiFi, LTE or 5G.

Once connected you’ll take over control of your Xbox and can even turn it on from outside the home.
You won’t actually be able to see that the Xbox is in use and when you stop playing it will go back into standby mode.
The new app is said to be faster than the previous iOS version.
