On November 20, 2024, Xbox launched its highly anticipated “stream your own game” feature for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate members, enhancing the gaming experience for players across various devices. This exciting development allows users to stream compatible titles from their ownership directly through web browsers, enabling a new level of accessibility in gaming. However, there are essential details potential users should consider before diving into this new offering.
Accessing the New Streaming Feature
The “stream your own game” feature can be easily accessed via the Xbox Play website. Users simply need to log into their Xbox Game Pass Ultimate membership, after which they can navigate to the “stream your own game” section. This functionality is compatible with most devices that support web browsing, including PCs, smartphones, tablets, and even handheld devices with the Microsoft Edge app.
For those who utilize Xbox Cloud Gaming through platforms such as Samsung Smart TVs, Amazon Fire Stick, and Meta Quest, there exists a dedicated Xbox Cloud Gaming app that facilitates access to this new feature without the intermediary step of a web browser.
“Starting today, I’m excited to announce that we’re allowing Game Pass Ultimate members to stream select games they own through TVs and browsers on supported devices like smartphones, PCs, and tablets, in all 28 countries where Xbox Cloud Gaming (Beta) is available.”
Future Updates and Supported Titles
Currently, the streaming feature is limited to use in web browsers; however, Microsoft has announced plans to roll out support for console and PC applications next year. As it stands, users should be aware that they must have ownership of the games they wish to stream, as merely being a Game Pass member will not suffice.
