Xbox Game Pass Ultimate Users Can Stream Own Games

by

Summary

  • As of April 16, all Xbox Game Pass Ultimate members can utilize the Stream Your Own Game feature.
  • Stream Your Own Game allows users to buy and stream Xbox titles that are not part of Game Pass.
  • The feature allows Xbox Series X/S games to be played on other devices like Xbox One via cloud-based streaming.

Beginning April 16th, all Xbox Game Pass Ultimate members now have access to Microsoft’s “Stream Your Own Game” feature, as it has moved beyond its Insider testing phase. This streaming benefit for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate lets subscribers play select Xbox games they own on compatible devices using Xbox Cloud Gaming.

Originally rolled out to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers participating in the Xbox Insider testing group in November 2024, the Stream Your Own Game feature enables users to broadcast games they personally own that are not part of the rotating Xbox Game Pass library. In December 2024, the program was broadened to incorporate Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S consoles, but it remained exclusive to Xbox Insiders within the Alpha and Alpha Skip-Ahead circles. Stream Your Own Game is further compatible with devices such as Windows PCs, VR headsets, Amazon Fire TVs, and suitable iOS and Android smartphones.

As a dedicated gamer, I’m thrilled to be part of the crowd who can now enjoy regular streams of titles like “The First Berserker: Khazan” through the Stream Your Own Game program. This expansion means more Xbox users with compatible games can stream them on their preferred devices, as reported by VGC.

Excitingly, this feature is no longer exclusive to Insiders! It’s now accessible for all Game Pass Ultimate subscribers as of April 16. With Stream Your Own Game integrated as a Game Pass Ultimate perk, those who don’t own an Xbox Series X/S console can purchase and stream select titles that aren’t part of the Xbox Game Pass rotation on devices like an Xbox One system, all while saving precious storage space.

An Xbox Game Pass Ultimate membership is affordably priced at just $19.99 per month, offering a world of gaming possibilities right at your fingertips!

Xbox Game Pass Ultimate’s Buy And Stream Feature Is Now Widely Available

As a Game Pass Ultimate member, I get the privilege to dive into a wide variety of games from both Xbox and PC platforms through traditional Game Pass rotations. Plus, I’m granted Day One access to exciting titles straight from Xbox Game Studios! On top of that, Stream Your Own Game is now open to me. This service offers an impressive library of games from studios like Square Enix and independent developers. Now, heavy-graphics games such as Final Fantasy 14, Baldur’s Gate 3, and Cyberpunk 2077 can be effortlessly streamed onto my Xbox One or web browsers like Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge.

To enjoy Xbox Cloud Gaming or Stream Your Own Game, a dependable internet connection is necessary. The minimum required download speed should be at least 20 Mbps, either through Ethernet or 5GHz Wi-Fi. As of now, 125 Xbox games are compatible with the Stream Your Own Game feature, and more are expected to roll out in May and June.
