Microsoft is expanding the Xbox PC app with a “Stream your own game” feature. If you have Game Pass Ultimate, you can now stream over 250 console games from beyond the usual Game Pass library to your PC without installation—including several console-exclusive titles, as Microsoft explains in this Xbox blog post.
Stream 250+ Xbox games directly on your PC via the Xbox app
Microsoft is making cloud gaming more flexible: the “Stream your own game” feature—which started last year for consoles, TVs, and browser-supported devices—is now available directly via the Xbox app for PC users. This is for streaming games you already own.
The assortment of supported games has increased from 50 to over 250 games, including smash hits such as Baldur’s Gate 3, Star Wars Outlaws, Cyberpunk 2077, and Hogwarts Legacy. The full list of streamable games can be found on the Xbox website.
When streaming, you aren’t playing the game on your Xbox console; the game runs directly on Microsoft’s powerful cloud servers. This saves you installation time and storage space on your PC, and it grants access to console-exclusive titles that aren’t available on Windows. It’s especially good for weak laptops and travelers who game on the go.
There are only two key requirements
In order to take advantage of the “Stream your own game” feature, you’ll need a Game Pass Ultimate subscription for $19.99 per month and digital copies of the games you want to stream. Physical discs aren’t supported.
You also need to be part of the Xbox Insider program and register for the PC Gaming Preview. The feature is available in 28 countries. Microsoft plans to remove the Insider restriction soon and further expand the game list, including Xbox Play Anywhere titles.
This is a smart move for Game Pass Ultimate. It makes the Xbox library more mobile and saves resources, and it’s ideal for gamers who value flexibility. If you meet the requirements, you should give it a try.
