Xbox Cloud Gaming may finally stream your non-Game Pass purchases soon
Microsoft is expanding Xbox Cloud Gaming’s streaming capabilities to support titles that aren’t on Xbox Game Pass. The Verge reports the company has stated its plans to let users stream games from their own libraries numerous times over the last few years. This goes back to the announcement of Project xCloud, but the feature hasn’t yet materialized. Now, Microsoft is ready to start testing it among Xbox Insiders in November. They plan to ultimately support thousands of games, according to The Verge, which cites sources “familiar with Microsoft’s plans.”
Xbox players have long been asking for the option to stream games they’ve purchased. They want this instead of only streaming those available on Xbox Game Pass. If the testing period goes as planned, more players could soon see this ability. The report comes on the heels of Xbox president Sarah Bond’s announcement that Android users will be able to buy and play games on the Xbox app starting next month.
