Microsoft to Test Cloud Streaming for Owned Xbox Games in November
This new feature will allow Xbox users to stream titles from their personal game libraries, expanding beyond the current Game Pass offerings.
- Microsoft will begin testing cloud streaming for owned Xbox games with Xbox Insiders in November, aiming for a broader rollout afterward.
- The new feature will enable users to stream games they own, whether purchased digitally or added through other means, not just those available on Xbox Game Pass.
- Delays in launching this feature were due to technical infrastructure challenges and licensing restrictions from some game publishers.
- This initiative is part of Microsoft's broader strategy to enhance gaming accessibility across various devices, including smartphones and tablets.
- Microsoft also plans to introduce game purchasing directly through the Xbox App on Android, starting next month.
