Microsoft’s Xbox division has expanded its innovative “Stream your own game” feature to PCs, a move that promises to enhance the gaming experience for computer users. Initially launched for consoles earlier this year, this feature allows gamers to access a diverse library of titles without the need for extensive downloads or installations.
Xbox ‘Stream your own game’ Now Available on PC
In a recent announcement, Microsoft revealed that the “Stream your own game” functionality is now available for PC users, enabling them to enjoy their existing game libraries across various eligible platforms. This initiative focuses on delivering a seamless streaming experience, allowing gamers to engage with their favorite titles in a new way.
Currently, the feature is accessible to those subscribed to the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and who are part of the Xbox Insiders Program under the PC Gaming Preview. This rollout is limited to 28 countries where Xbox Cloud Gaming (beta) is supported, indicating that the feature is still in a testing phase. To utilize this service, Xbox Insiders must also maintain their Game Pass Ultimate subscriptions.
The introduction of this feature on PC follows its successful deployment on smart TVs, Meta Quest headsets, and compatible browsers on smartphones and tablets, showcasing Microsoft’s commitment to expanding gaming accessibility.
Select Titles Available to Enjoy in Test Run
According to Microsoft, over 250 games are currently available for play under the “Stream your own game” program, exclusively for Game Pass Ultimate subscribers who are also Xbox Insiders. While joining the Xbox Insiders program is free, the Game Pass Ultimate subscription costs per month, providing access to a wealth of gaming options.
Gamers can explore the complete list of supported titles through the provided link, which features popular games such as Cyberpunk 2077, Hogwarts Legacy, Baldur’s Gate 3, Balatro, and Star Wars Outlaws. Microsoft has indicated plans to expand this library further, including titles from the “Xbox Play Anywhere” program.

This functionality eliminates the need for downloading and installing games, enabling users to dive straight into their gaming experiences with ease.
