Hey Xbox Insiders, Get Ready for a Holiday Surprise!
The holiday season is here, and we have a special gift for all Xbox Insiders. Let’s unwrap it together!
Last month, we shared the news that Game Pass Ultimate members can now stream select games they own through various devices like smartphones, PCs, and tablets in countries where Xbox Cloud Gaming (Beta) is available. Additionally, we mentioned that players would soon be able to stream on Xbox consoles.
Today, we are excited to announce that Xbox Insiders in the Alpha Skip-Ahead and Alpha rings can now preview this feature on Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One consoles.
Stream Your Own Game on Your Xbox Console
As an Xbox Insider and Game Pass Ultimate member, you can now stream select games you own on your Xbox console in supported countries where Xbox Cloud Gaming (Beta) is available. Check out the full list of games here.
With the “Stream your own game” feature on Xbox consoles, you can stream select games without the need to install them. This not only saves you time and hard drive space but also grants you access to your games through Xbox Cloud Gaming (Beta).
To start streaming from your Xbox console, follow these steps:
- If you own a cloud playable game, you’ll see a cloud badge on the game.
- Use filters to find games quickly by selecting Filter > Ready to play > Cloud gaming.
- To begin playing, select the game and choose Play with Cloud Gaming.
- Support for launching directly from the Store app and streaming in the Xbox app on Windows PC will be available in the future.
