Microsoft is on a mission to add more elements to its Xbox ecosystem while keeping the players as the nucleus. Reports have surfaced that Microsoft is working on its Xbox app for iOS to make it compatible with its new strategy.
A few tweaks to this app will let the players stream the games they already own. They will also be able to stream games from their consoles to their iPhones, over a stable local connection. However, the same feature is already live in the Android version of the app.
The revamp of this app will enable the players to play the game and manage the console. Moreover, players will also be able to delete games to create more space for new titles through it.

This is called Remote Play or Console streaming but differs slightly from Project xCloud that Microsoft has been marketing.
