Quick Summary

Xbox Cloud Gaming now includes the ability to stream your own purchased games to devices that aren't Xbox consoles.

There are 50 supported games at present, while the feature is in beta mode.

Xbox has launched the largest update to its Cloud Gaming service yet. You can now play your own purchased games over the internet and streamed to supported devices.

That includes mobile, Samsung Smart TVs and Amazon Fire TV Sticks. You can also play your own Xbox Series X games on PC, even a Mac through a browser.

The only prerequisite is that you must be an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscriber. If so, you'll see games you have bought that might not be available through Xbox Cloud Gaming separately. This is especially great for those who have purchased a recent game that hasn't yet been added to Game Pass.

The service is only in its beta form at present and is limited to 50 games. However, it includes the likes of Cyberpunk 2077 and Baldur's Gate 3 – neither of which are available on Game Pass. You can see the entire game list below.

It is also available in all of the 28 countries where Xbox Cloud Gaming is supported. That includes the UK, US and Australia.

The "stream your own game" service should appear in the dedicated Xbox app on Samsung TVs and supported Amazon Fire TV Sticks (4K and 4K Max) after an update. It is also available through the latest Xbox Cloud Gaming app for Meta Quest headsets (ie. Meta Quest 3).

PC, phone, tablet and most other supported handsets can access the new feature through a supported browser, such as Chrome. Safari or Microsoft Edge. It's available at xbox.com/play.
