The Xbox app for PC learns to stream games from the console: Microsoft has expanded its “Stream Your Own Game” program. Since last year, it has been possible to stream selected games from your own Xbox library to mobile devices and computers via the browser. Now this is also possible directly in the Xbox app for PC. The detour via the browser is no longer necessary, Microsoft announced.

In addition, the range of compatible games has grown significantly since the launch of “Stream Your Own Game” last year. The program started last November with 50 compatible games, and according to Microsoft, 250 titles from the console library can now be streamed to PCs.

Various use cases

According to Microsoft, this includes games that are not even available natively for the PC. However, this is likely to be the exception – almost all games for the Xbox eventually get a PC version sooner or later anyway. Streaming is not only practical for console-exclusive titles. The feature is also useful if you want to stream from your Xbox console to a less powerful laptop or PC that doesn't have enough power for the games. The feature also allows you to save storage space on your PC.

Microsoft has published the complete list of compatible “Stream Your Own Game” titles on its website. Many of these games can be played on a PC with a mouse and keyboard.

To use the feature, you must meet two requirements in addition to owning an Xbox. First, you must have a subscription to Microsoft's Game Pass Ultimate gaming subscription, which costs $18 per month. To stream directly through the Xbox app for PC, you must also participate in the Xbox Insider Program. At least this hurdle will be removed sooner or later.
