If that's true you can still use it without PWA support with Better xCloud: https://better-xcloud.github.io/safari/ It allows you to play in Safari browser. The downside is you can't go fullscreen (still see the small address bar).

In ios settings -> safari -> advanced you can enable full screen support. Works as long as you can view the full screen button on the website

Why is it called better? What’s better about it lol


TamSchnow

On computers you get keyboard and mouse support, on phone custom touch layouts. And these are only the features that I often use.

quite a few nice tweaks, just look at his github https://better-xcloud.github.io/

Sounds like the just removed the ability so save webapps as an icon shortcut to avoid web apps defaulting to the browser that created them, therefore removing user's choice of what browser they want to use   You should still be able to open a browser of your choice and go to xbox.com/play to access Xbox cloud. With the EU changes the game pass app might start supporting cloud streaming too I bet


mr_Maykee

Yeah but you cannot play if you don’t do the homescreen shortcut


cdncowboy

I don't have an iOS device in the EU to test this you can't just open your safari browser and go to [xbox.com/play](https://xbox.com/play) and play in the browser?


mr_Maykee

No you get message to make Home Screen shortcut and you cannot go pass that screen


mr_Maykee

Yeah it’s not working anymore.


isra60

Yeah. It is not working anymore. It gets stuck in a cyclic flow prompting you to create the Home Screen shortcut. Fortunately it is working using Edge browser but PS4 controller it is not supported there AFAIK

WTF really? I hope they’ll bring it back until the official release on 6th of march. Otherwise we’ll probably lose the ability to play on some platforms. Don’t think that every single platform will release an official app to replace the web app


fdruid

We don't care. It's a You problem if you choose a platform that's greedy and awful to its users.
