Xbox Cloud Gaming will now allow you to stream your own games

Game streaming has come a long way since it was originally introduced several years and a couple of generations ago with Microsoft being one of the early pioneers of the technology.  Well the next phase of Xbox Cloud Gaming, which will finally allow players to stream games that they actually already own (as opposed to only those which are in the Xbox Game Pass catalog), is kicking off in beta form.

The feature, which requires an Game Pass Ultimate subscription, is now live and there’s a limited selection of 50 titles at the moment (see below), but Microsoft will surely be opening that up to more and more games as the weeks/months/years go by.  There’s a nice variety of wares including Cyberpunk 2077, Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake, Assassin’s Creed Mirage, NBA 2K25 and others to test out.

Interestingly, streaming your own titles is only supported by select TVs, web browsers and mobile devices right now, with actual Xbox hardware and Xbox app functionality coming next year.

See the announcement and the trailer at the Xbox News Wire and below.

Stream Your Own Game

Our mission is to bring more games to more people around the world, across devices. We believe gaming should be easy to access and available for all players, no matter what device you choose to play with. That’s why we’re dedicated to making great games available across consoles, PCs, and with cloud gaming.

Today, millions of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate members are enjoying Xbox Cloud Gaming to play top titles from the Xbox Game Pass catalog on various devices. We’ve also heard your excitement about having more flexibility to stream games you own beyond the Game Pass catalog.  Starting today, I’m excited to announce that we’re allowing Game Pass Ultimate members to stream select games they own through TVs and browser on supported devices like smartphones, PCs, and tablets, in all 28 countries where Xbox Cloud Gaming (Beta) is available. This is just the beginning. Next year, we’re excited to bring this feature to Xbox consoles and the Xbox app on Windows.
