Xbox to Test Streaming of Owned Games via Cloud Next Month

Microsoft plans to expand Xbox Cloud Gaming to allow streaming of personal game libraries, starting with Xbox Insiders in November.

  • The new feature, part of Project Lapland, will initially be available to Xbox Insiders before a wider rollout.
  • This expansion allows streaming of games not included in Xbox Game Pass, addressing long-standing user requests.
  • The update coincides with a court ruling permitting Xbox to enable direct game purchases through its Android app.
  • Microsoft's efforts to support streaming thousands of games have been delayed by infrastructure challenges and licensing issues.
  • Some publishers may restrict certain games from being streamed due to existing licensing agreements.
