Xbox Game Pass Ultimate Update Adds New Perk for Subscribers

Microsoft has rolled out an update for Game Pass Ultimate subscribers, enabling them to stream approximately 250 games directly through the Xbox app installed on their computers. This latest feature empowers Xbox gamers to savor console-exclusive titles on their personal computers and accumulate Microsoft Rewards points simultaneously during gameplay.

Previously, the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate service introduced an innovative feature enabling users to stream their owned Xbox One and Series X/S console games not only on their TVs but also on Meta Quest Headsets, certain web-compatible devices like PCs, tablets, and smartphones. This cloud technology offers a remarkable level of freedom in how players can experience numerous Xbox titles they love.

Starting from July 28th’s update, Game Pass Ultimate subscribers have an exciting expansion: they can stream cloud-based games directly through the Xbox PC app. This new feature makes it easier than ever to play Xbox games on your computer, as it saves hard drive space and offers a unique way to experience console-exclusive titles.

Play 250+ Titles on the Xbox PC App With Game Pass Ultimate

Over 250 Xbox games are available for streaming through cloud services, even though they’ve been taken off the Xbox Games Pass subscription. Right now, you can stream titles like “The Callisto Protocol” and “Mafia: Definitive Edition”. Additionally, all Assassin’s Creed games from “The Ezio Collection” up to “Syndicate”, including “Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag”, are playable. More games such as “Choo-Choo Charles”, “Five Nights at Freddy’s”, and “Wo Long Fallen Dynasty” will soon be added to the list for streaming.

With an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription, I can effortlessly utilize this fresh feature: just cruise over to the Cloud Gaming section within the Xbox PC app, locate the Stream Your Own Game list, and pick from the cloud-compatible games I own for play. And if that’s not thrilling enough, gamers like me now have a breeze tracking our Microsoft Rewards points challenges via a snazzy new interface, giving us the opportunity to collect and redeem rewards directly from the home page of the Xbox PC app.

This functionality works harmoniously with the broader Xbox Play Anywhere service, accessible not just to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers but also fans without it. With over a thousand games compatible with Xbox Play Anywhere, gamers can effortlessly switch devices – consoles, PCs, and more – without incurring any extra costs, while maintaining game progress, achievements, and DLC. Although Xbox has been a significant player in the long-standing console gaming rivalry, innovative features like these are gradually lessening the differences among popular gaming platforms.
