Microsoft is taking the necessary steps to bring its console to every screen possible and is even updating the Xbox app on Android to become a great gaming companion. Now, let’s take an important step to Transform any screen into a console with the announcement a few hours ago: Game Pass Ultimate subscribers can now stream a series of games that they own and which are not part of the service catalog.
Which means great news for those who own Xbox games in digital format, since they will be able to launch titles like Baldur’s Gate 3 on your smartphone screen or Hogwarts Legacy on a tablet to be able to play them, as one could say, anywhere. The idea is to provide as much flexibility as possible and erase the line that demarcated gaming from games purchased for that console.
It was Ashley McKissick, vice president of Xbox experiences and platforms, who announced on the Xbox blog that Xbox Cloud Gaming (Beta) is now available in 28 countries to open the doors to this new gaming experience.
At present, The available list remains at 50 titles including Animal Well, Balatro, Baldur’s Gate, Hades and Hogwarts Legacy, among others, although the company’s idea is to increase the number of titles in the future.
You can now navigate to the games list in the browser to go to the Xbox Cloud Gaming (Beta) website, sign in, and look for the “Stream your own game” option. The list of available titles appears in a carousel to easily switch from one to the other.
Launch your own games with Game Pass Ultimate
Free Android
It’s necessary sign in with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and have a gamepad connected to the device, whether on the monitor screen, on the mobile screen or on the TV screen, although in this case the Xbox application or Xbox Cloud Gaming (for VR) is required. Of course, some games may require the use of a keyboard and mouse.
The new any-screen gaming experience Xbox Cloud Gaming (Beta) is available on all supported devices such as PCs, mobile phones, tablets and TVs with the Xbox app (which could be done by installing it via a dongle like Chromecast) or if you have a Samsung television, since it is available in the applications catalog.
A new way to fully understand the experience of playing a game on any screen as long as you own the Xbox game in digital format; similar in concept to what is happening with the Nintendo Switch and its ability to play from the handheld console or start the game on a screen.
