Testing for the mobile Web version of the service will begin this week, with a wider rollout planned for “several weeks from now.”

The move to a Web app for iOS support gets around the onerous restrictions Apple recently placed on game-streaming apps distributed through the iOS App Store. Such apps would need to submit each individual game for review by Apple for listing in a distinct App Store product page.
