It's a pretty big day for Stadia, as Google’s cloud gaming service is launching its iOS beta and adding the full Ubisoft+ lineup to its library of playable games. Cloud gaming platforms like Stadia and Xbox Game Pass have run into issues with Apple, which insists all games included in these services must also be offered individually through the App Store. Google is getting around these restrictions by offering a web app through Apple’s Safari browser. Xbox Game Pass will eventually offer its own web app, and NVIDIA’s GeForce Now already has one.

The Stadia iOS web app is still in beta, although it’s an open one that anybody can try out. The folks at The Verge have had the opportunity to test the iOS version of Stadia, and found it works “remarkably well.” The iOS version includes built-in touch controls, although you can of course also use a Stadia, Xbox One, and PS4 controller.
