Stream Your Purchased Games With Xbox Cloud Gaming (Beta)
Microsoft has announced that Game Pass Ultimate subscribers can now stream certain games they own, not just Game Pass titles.
However, the new feature doesn’t cover all owned games as Xboc has announced a list of 50 select titles at launch.
Users must have purchased these games through Xbox to stream them, and more titles are expected to be added over time.
Game Pass Ultimate members can stream games directly on various devices, which include Samsung Smart TVs, Amazon Fire TV devices, Meta Quest headsets along with different browser-supported devices such as PCs, smartphones and tablets.
Explaining the new update in a press note, Corporate Vice President Xbox Experiences and Platforms Engineering Ashley McKissick said, “Starting today, I’m excited to announce that we’re allowing Game Pass Ultimate members to stream select games they own through TVs and browser on supported devices like smartphones, PCs, and tablets, in all 28 countries where Xbox Cloud Gaming (Beta) is available.
