Microsoft has made a number of classic games from Rare, Bethesda and others playable via Xbox cloud gaming.

16 original Xbox and Xbox 360 games have been made available to Android users with an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription.

They include Banjo-Kazooie, Fable 2, and entries in the Perfect Dark, Elder Scrolls and Gears of War series.

UPDATE: Nintendo has officially announced Banjo-Kazooie Nintendo Switch for its Switch Online subscription service.

Touch controls have also been enabled for three of the Rare games: Jetpac Refuelled, Viva Pinata, and Viva Pinata Trouble in Paradise.
