Game streaming has yet to reach peak popularity, but we certainly see it picking up steam in the past months. Users now have more options than ever in the form of Google Stadia, NVIDIA GeForce, Microsoft Project xCloud, and even Sony PS4 Remote Play if you count that within the same segments. All of these solutions envisage playing games on your smartphone usually with the aid of a gaming controller. To capitalize on this, Microsoft expanded its Designed for Xbox accessories program to cover mobile gaming last year. Now, PowerA, known for its various gaming accessories, is launching its new MOGA XP5-X Plus Bluetooth controller for mobile and cloud gaming.

It also comes with two additional buttons, situated on the grip and intended to be accessed by your ring fingers that you can map for greater competitiveness.
