The Xbox -PC -app can now stream over 250 games beyond the Game Pass library

Microsoft extends the Xbox PC -app with a “Stream Your Own Game” function. If you have Game Pass Ultimate, you can now stream over 250 console games from beyond the usual Game Pass library on your PC.

Stream 250+ Xbox games directly on your PC via the Xbox app

Microsoft makes Cloud Gaming more flexible: The “Stream Your Own Game” function, which was launched last year for consoles, television equipment and browser-supported devices, is now available directly via the Xbox app for PC users. This is for streaming games that you already have.

The selection of supported games rose from 50 to over 250 games, including Smash hits such as Baldur's goal 3Present Star Wars prohibitedPresent Cyberpunk 2077And Hogwarts legacy. The full list of streamable games can be found on the Xbox website.

When streaming, they don't play the game on their Xbox console. The game runs directly on the powerful cloud servers from Microsoft. This saves you the installation time and space on your PC and grants access to console-exclusive titles that are not available under Windows. It is particularly good for weak laptops and travelers who play on the go.

There are only two important requirements

To use the “Stream Your Own Game” function, you need an ultimate subscription from a game pass for $ 19.99 per month and digital copies of the games you want to stream. Physical discs are not supported.

You also have to be part of the Xbox insider program and register for the PC -Gaming preview. The function is available in 28 countries. Microsoft plans to remove the insider restrictions shortly and further expand the game list, including Xbox Play Anywhere title.

This is a clever step for Game Pass Ultimate. It makes the Xbox library mobile and saves resources and is ideal for players who appreciate flexibility. If you meet the requirements, you should try it.
