Through the participation of the Xbox Insiders program players, the Redmond company will be able to collect data to improve and polish possible details for the commercial version that will be available later.

- It is necessary to have an Android smartphone or tablet with Android 6.0 operating system onwards
- The device must have Bluetooth; an Xbox One Wireless Controller is required to play
- You need to have a Microsoft account with an Xbox profile already created
