As of July 15th, Xbox Insiders in the PC Gaming Preview that are also Game Pass Ultimate subscribers can stream select console titles through the Xbox PC app. You could kind of already do that but only for those games that exist on the Game Pass catalog on the Xbox PC app. This new feature allows you to stream your games without needing an install, including those that you own only on Xbox straight to your PC.
If this sounds confusing to you, hold on, because it gets even more confusing. Seriously, I really don't know how to describe this any better than I am.
This whole "stream your own game" thing was already available for Game Pass Ultimate members on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, TVs, Meta Quest Headsets, and other browser supported devices like PCs, smartphones, and tablets. Today's addition for Insiders brings that same functionality to the Xbox app on PC, allowing you to stream eligible games you own without needing to install them directly from the Xbox PC app. I'm not sure how this differs from just streaming your game through a browser on PC, but it is what it is.
Even better, this feature includes console-only games that previously couldn’t be played using the Xbox PC app. Just head to the Cloud Gaming section in the Xbox PC app, look for the Stream your own game catalog, choose a supported title you own, and start playing instantly. You can see the full list of over 250+ supported games here. You can expect even more games including console-only games and Xbox Play Anywhere titles to be added to the collection over time. You choose how and where to play. We’re just making it easier to get there—with more flexibility, more access, and more games at your fingertips.
