About The Project

Screenshot_1

I picked up a Google Chromecast with Google TV player and I was surprised that there was no official way to play xCloud games as the official app that could be sideloaded stopped working. As a software engineer, I decided to have a go at making a Google TV (Formally Android TV) app that would allow xCloud to play in full screen with controller support.

Features

  • Requires NO permissions ???
  • Supports XBOX gamepad connected via Bluetooth or OTG cable
  • Remembers sign in
  • Plays games in Fullscreen no borders
  • ? Now launch from channel icon!
  • ? Now loads faster!
