There are plenty of benefits to upgrading to Game Pass Ultimate over the other tiers, but one of the most enticing is the ability to take advantage of cloud streaming. Previously, Ultimate members were limited to only streaming select titles from the game catalog, but Xbox has expanded this feature to finally allow players to stream games they own as well -- even if they aren't part of Game Pass Ultimate. There are some caveats, though, so let's talk about how you can stream your Xbox games and what limitations there are.
How to cloud stream your Xbox games using Game Pass Ultimate on PC, mobile, or tablet
For now, Xbox cloud streaming is only available on PCs, smartphones, tablets, and smart TVs. Console support is expected to come in 2025. If you have a compatible device, here's how it works on anything with a web browser.
Step 1: Open a supported browser, such as Google Chrome, Safari, or Edge.
Step 2: Go to https://xbox.com/play.
Step 3: Use your Game Pass Ultimate account to sign in.
Step 4: Select Stream your own game and look through the list of available options.
Step 5: Connect either an Xbox controller or other supported controller on your device.
Step 6: Wait for the connection to establish and start playing.
How to cloud stream your Xbox games using Game Pass Ultimate on TV or VR
Cloud streaming Xbox games can also be done on your smart TV or VR headset for full immersion. Here's how that process works.
Step 1: Download the Xbox app on your TV or the Xbox Cloud Gaming app on your headset.
Step 2: Open the app and sign in with your Game Pass Ultimate account.
Step 3: Select Stream your own game and look through the list of available options.
Step 4: Connect a controller to your TV or headset.
Step 5: Wait for the connection to establish and start playing.
