Xbox has expanded its "Stream Your Own Game" feature to PC, enabling users to stream compatible games from their PC to their Xbox, which is a big step for gamers.
As part of its continuous efforts to make Xbox software more device-agnostic, Microsoft has taken this step to allow users to play games on a range of devices without requiring time-consuming installations.
Users must have a subscription to Game Pass Ultimate and be a member of the Xbox Insider program in order to use this feature.
Popular games like Baldur's Gate 3, Star Wars Outlaws, Cyberpunk 2077, Hogwarts Legacy, and a number of Assassin's Creed titles are among the more than 250 games that the service currently supports.
Microsoft has stated that it will keep adding games to the library, including some exclusive to the console.
Even though PC users already have access to the majority of the supported games, streaming them can help free up storage space and remove the need for downloads.
However, there are a few restrictions to take into account. Because physical copies of the games are not supported, users will need to own digital copies of the games they want to stream.
Additionally, a Game Pass Ultimate subscription ($20 per month) is needed to access the feature, which is limited to the 28 countries where Xbox Cloud Gaming is supported.
It costs nothing to join the Xbox Insider program for those who want to test out the feature.
Once enrolled, users can access the feature by opening the Xbox PC app, going to the Cloud Gaming section, and searching for the "Stream your own game" catalogue.
This will allow users to immediately begin playing their own supported titles.
This development is a significant step in Microsoft's efforts to improve its gaming options and give consumers more convenience and flexibility.
It will be interesting to watch how users react to this feature and how it affects the larger gaming market as the gaming landscape changes further.
