Improvements to system buttons and touch controls on Xbox Cloud Gaming

Thank you for contact us! I'm Anderson, an Independent Consultant and a Microsoft user like you.

good evening

I'm sorry to hear that you are experiencing issues with the touch controls in Fortnite on Xbox Cloud Gaming. There could be a few different issues causing this problem.

Make sure that touch controls are enabled in the game. In Fortnite, you can enable touch controls by going to the "Settings" menu, selecting "Controls," and then selecting "Touch." From here, you can customize the touch controls and make sure that they are enabled.

Check that touch controls are enabled in the Xbox Cloud Gaming app. To do this, go to the "Settings" menu in the app, select "Controls," and then make sure that "Touch" is selected as the control scheme.

Restart the Xbox Cloud Gaming app and try again. Sometimes, simply restarting the app can resolve issues with touch controls.

Check for updates to the Xbox Cloud Gaming app or Fortnite. Sometimes, updates can fix bugs or other issues that might be causing problems with touch controls. To check for updates, go to the "Settings" menu in the Xbox Cloud Gaming app, select "System," then "console info & updates," and then select "check for updates."

Hello DenyingSnail,my name is Marvina, I will be happy to help you.

I'm so sorry for what you're going through, there is currently no way to force the "controller only" version of the cloud gaming interface. The version displayed depends on whether the game you are playing supports touch controls.

If the game supports touch controls, the "with touch controls" version will be displayed by default.

However, there are a few things you can do to increase the chances of the "driver only" version showing up:

Use an Xbox controller. Cloud gaming works best with an Xbox controller as it is designed to be compatible with them.
Update your drivers.

Make sure you have the latest Xbox drivers installed on your computer.

Check your game settings. Some games may allow you to disable touch controls in settings.

If you've tried all of these things and you're still seeing the "touch controls" version, it's possible that the game you're playing doesn't support the "controller only" version.

In this case, you will need to use a touch controller or a keyboard and mouse to play.

Microsoft is working to improve support for the "controller-only" version of the cloud gaming interface.

It may be possible to force this version manually in the future.

Aint Gonna Play Cloud Gaming If They Wont Let Me Use Xbox Controller Or Touch Screen

Keep in mind it's only a few games that support touch

Most games support controllers only

Fortnite isn't one of the games that support touch

It's unlikely a PvP shooter would support touch as it requires fast reaction and sensitivity you don't get with touch but with controllers

Most of the games are pve with the exception of rts games or gears 5

Fortnite does work with touch. It says “Play with Touch” in Xbox Cloud Gaming
