Xbox's Game Pass Ultimate Lets You Stream Owned Games Now

All Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers can now stream a select number of owned games to their Xbox Series X/S or Xbox One consoles, without installation, as part of the April Update. This long-awaited feature, which has been in testing since November, allows players to access games not included in Game Pass, expanding the streaming library to over 100 titles. Recent additions include Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 2, Wanderstop, and Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed. To utilize this feature, players can navigate to the My games & apps section, where games compatible for cloud streaming will show a cloud badge. The April update also includes various enhancements for Xbox users, such as improvements in the Xbox remote play feature, allowing access via mobile browsers and future support for more devices. Additionally, updates to the Xbox app will enable users to purchase games directly within the app.

The new Xbox streaming feature allows Game Pass Ultimate members to stream compatible owned games directly to their Xbox consoles without the need to install them. Players can access this feature through the My games & apps section by selecting the game marked with a cloud badge.
