Level Up Your Playtime: Xbox’s “Stream Your Own Game” is Here for All Game Pass Ultimate Members

Great news for Xbox gamers! The wait is over. Microsoft has officially rolled out its exciting “stream your own game” feature to all Xbox Game Pass Ultimate members with Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S consoles, starting today, April 18th, 2025.

For those who’ve been following along, this feature first began its journey back in November 2024, allowing Ultimate subscribers to cloud stream select games they owned on a variety of devices – PCs, phones, tablets, handhelds, and even through web browsers. Then, in December, Xbox Insiders in the Alpha Skip-Ahead and Alpha rings got a sneak peek at this functionality on their consoles.

Now, the doors are wide open! You no longer need to be an Insider to enjoy the flexibility of streaming select titles from your personal Xbox library directly to your console.

Why is this a game-changer? Let’s break it down:

• Play Next-Gen Games on Your Xbox One: This is a huge win for Xbox One owners! Now, you can dive into select Xbox Series X/S games without needing to upgrade your hardware. Simply purchase the game and stream it directly to your console.
• Reclaim Your Storage: Running out of space on your console? This feature lets you save precious gigabytes by choosing to stream certain owned games instead of installing them. This will be particularly beneficial for owners of the original Xbox Series S with its more limited storage capacity.
• Instant Access, Less Waiting: Forget lengthy download and installation times. With “stream your own game,” you can jump into the action almost instantly.
• Expanding Library: The list of supported games has grown significantly, now boasting over 100 titles. Recent additions like Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed, Lego Marvel Superheroes, Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 2, and Wanderstop highlight the increasing variety available for streaming. You can find the complete and up-to-date list on the official Xbox website.

Xbox themselves shared the excitement, stating, “Starting today, Game Pass Ultimate members can now stream select games they own in addition to the Game Pass catalog on their Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One consoles.” They also emphasized the broader availability, noting that this extends the feature beyond the previously announced devices like Samsung Smart TVs, Amazon Fire TV devices, Meta Quest headsets, and other browser-supported devices.

This update truly empowers Game Pass Ultimate members, offering more ways to play the games they love, regardless of their console generation or storage limitations. So, go ahead, explore your library, and get ready to stream your way into your next gaming adventure!
