Xbox controlled by Surface

[bosamar]

I thought I read here a while back that the Surface can control an Xbox. If it's true how is it done?

By using the Smart Glass App, mainly used for video and music at least when I played with it...

Some games are also SmartGlass enabled, which is typically more as a second screen serving up extra information (maps, etc.).

Thank you. Should have known.

New games are slowly adding SmartGlass functionality as developers get the hang of what they can do with it. Forza Horizon displays a map that you can get information on the various races, set waypoints, etc. Pretty cool really. Works well on the Surface.
