In August 2025, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate is planning a significant overhaul for its “Stream Your Own Games” service, introducing around one hundred fresh, thrilling additions. As an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate member, you can stream games you own to compatible devices using Cloud Gaming, provided they aren’t already part of the current Game Pass catalog.
Back in November 2024, I was part of the exclusive group of Game Pass Ultimate subscribers who got early access to the Stream Your Own Games service through the Xbox Insiders program. Fast forward to December 2024, Microsoft opened this feature up for Alpha and Alpha Skip-Ahead branch members on both Xbox One and Series X|S consoles. After several months of testing, on April 16, 2025, Microsoft made this fantastic service available to all Game Pass Ultimate subscribers, no longer keeping it in the testing phase exclusively for Insiders.
For August 2025, Microsoft has increased the offerings on its Stream Your Own Games service by a hundred new games, predominantly indie titles. Some standout games among these additions are “A Short Hike”, “SOMA”, “Tetris Effect: Connected”, and all installments of “Five Nights at Freddy’s” (1-4). This means that any Game Pass Ultimate subscriber who owns these games can now stream them to their preferred devices, such as iOS and Android smartphones, VR headsets, Windows PCs, and even compatible mobile phones. The extra perk is that subscribers can collect Microsoft Rewards points while playing on their PC.
