Microsoft has enhanced its game streaming service for Game Pass Ultimate subscribers. As of July 28, users can now stream their entire Xbox game library directly to their PCs via the dedicated Xbox app.
Over the past few years, Microsoft has progressively expanded Xbox library streaming capabilities to various platforms, such as Xbox consoles, smart TVs, and web browsers. The company recently confirmed that this highly anticipated functionality is now integrated into the Xbox PC app, aiming to centralize most Xbox features within a single application.
Streaming Xbox games offers more than just convenient access to your Game Pass titles when you`re away from your main console or home PC. Crucially, it now provides PC-only players with the ability to experience Xbox console exclusives that are not yet natively available on the PC platform.
Beyond streaming, Microsoft has introduced several other enhancements to the Xbox PC app. Key among these are improvements designed to consolidate and streamline the cloud gaming experience. The updated app now displays a unified cross-device play history, allowing users to seamlessly resume a game on their PC via streaming, even if they started it on their Xbox console. Furthermore, the app now features a more integrated game library, presenting all streamable games from across consoles, encompassing both purchased titles and those available through Game Pass. These new functionalities are currently accessible to members of the Xbox Insider program, which is free and open to all interested users.
Lastly, the Xbox PC app now simplifies the tracking of Microsoft Rewards. Microsoft confirms that the new system will display Rewards progress dynamically during gameplay, enabling users to monitor their accumulated points across various gaming sessions.
