Microsoft is planning to bring its Xbox game-streaming service to iPhones next year despite a public row with Apple over the app.

Axar.az reports that, the Game Pass streaming service was launched for Android phones last month.

But Apple barred the app from its iOS app store, saying all 100 or so games on the service should be listed individually.

Microsoft is now developing a web-browser-based version that should work on iPhones.

Microsoft employees have been told that a "browser-based solution" is planned for next year, according to reports in both Business Insider and The Verge.

"We absolutely will end up on iOS," Xbox head Phil Spencer said, according to both outlets.
