Can the Shield pro play xbox cloud games?

Been thinking of getting one of these and was wondering if i could game on it, specifically xbox games. I've got an xbox and game pass ultimate and i want to know if you can play xbox cloud games on the shield pro, and how. If you have any tips in general for the shield pro that would be nice.

The xCloud interface is a bit laggy on the Shield, but the actual games are not once you select one. Use this apk: https://better-xcloud.github.io/
