Xbox Game Pass Ultimate Members Can Stream Games on Consoles

Xbox Game Pass Ultimate members can now enjoy a new feature allowing them to stream games directly to their Xbox consoles without needing to download them. This exciting update, announced via an Xbox Wire post, makes it possible for players to access the Game Pass catalog and select owned games on Xbox Series X, S, and Xbox One via cloud streaming. Previously available on smart TVs, PCs, and mobile devices, this is the first time console users can leverage this capability, providing a significant advantage in avoiding long download times and conserving hard drive space. The streaming feature is easily accessible through specific menus in the console's interface. In addition, Xbox is rolling out remote play support for Xbox and Xbox 360 backward compatible games, continuing their efforts to optimize storage management amidst increasing game install sizes.

To stream games on your Xbox console, navigate to My games & apps, then Full library, and choose Owned Games. Look for a cloud badge next to cloud playable games. Filter your games to find those available for cloud gaming and select Play with Cloud Gaming to start streaming directly from your console.

The Xbox Game Pass is a subscription service that allows gamers to access a vast library of games for a monthly fee. This service has gained popularity due to its wide range of titles, making it an attractive choice for gamers who want to experience new content without the commitment of purchasing each game separately. The recent updates to Xbox Game Pass emphasize Xbox's commitment to enhancing user experience while addressing storage challenges presented by larger game installations, a common issue in the gaming community today.
