Live today for Xbox Insiders
Xbox has been building out its “Stream Your Own Game” feature with loads of new additions over the past few weeks and months, and now it’s expanding once again – this time in the form of dedicated integration for the Xbox PC app.
As of today, Xbox Insiders in the PC Gaming Preview can use the app to stream over 250 games (if you own them) including console-only titles that have never been playable via the Xbox PC app before, although keep in mind you’ll need to be a Game Pass Ultimate member to access these as well.
“Earlier this year, we rolled the “Stream your own game” feature out to Game Pass Ultimate members on Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One consoles, TVs, Meta Quest Headsets as well as other browser supported devices like PCs, smartphones and tablets. Now, we’re bringing that same flexibility to PC, allowing you to stream eligible games you already own without needing to install them directly from the Xbox PC app. This saves time, conserves hard drive space, and gives you more flexible access to your library through cloud gaming.”
For now, this feature is exclusive to Xbox Insider members as mentioned, but it’ll be rolling out to the wider public at some point in the near future. You’ll find them under the “Cloud Gaming” tab in the app when you’re eligible for them.
Don’t forget we’ve got a big guide to ‘Stream Your Own Game’ titles here at Pure Xbox, and it’s evolving all the time with lots of fresh updates. Xbox says the program, along with similar initiatives that its launched over the past year-or-so, are “part of a larger vision to bring more games to more people around the world, across every device”.
