Xbox has significantly expanded its game streaming capabilities for Game Pass Ultimate subscribers. As of July 28, users can now stream their entire personal Xbox game library, including purchased titles, directly to their PCs via the updated Xbox app for Windows. This new feature transcends Game Pass, offering unparalleled access to a player`s full collection.
This expansion builds on Microsoft’s previous efforts to enable Xbox library streaming across various devices such as Xbox consoles, smart TVs, and web browsers. Integrating this functionality into the PC app establishes it as a comprehensive hub for nearly all Xbox-related features, enhancing the ecosystem`s versatility.
Streaming Xbox games is not merely a convenient way to access your Game Pass library while away from your console or home PC. Crucially, it provides a unique opportunity for PC-only players to experience Xbox console exclusive titles that have not yet been released on the PC platform.
Furthermore, the Xbox app for PC has received a suite of other significant enhancements. Efforts have been made to consolidate and streamline the cloud gaming experience. A new cross-device play history feature allows users to seamlessly resume a game started on their Xbox console directly within the PC app. The game library has also been unified, presenting a more cohesive view of all available-to-stream games, encompassing both previously purchased titles and those included with Game Pass. These valuable updates are currently available to members of the Xbox Insider program, which remains free and open for everyone to join.
Lastly, the Xbox PC app now offers a much simpler method for tracking Microsoft Rewards progress. The updated system displays accumulated points directly during gameplay, allowing users to monitor their Rewards status across different play sessions with ease.
