Microsoft has announced it for Xbox Cloud Gaming. Starting today, you'll be able to stream select games you own on Meta Quest VR TVs and headsets, as well as compatible browsers on phones, tablets, and PCs in all countries where Xbox Cloud Gaming is available. Microsoft plans to expand the feature to Xbox consoles and the Windows Xbox app next year.
You'll still need to be an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate member to use this feature, but that means you're no longer limited to streaming only games that are on that service. The “stream your own game” option and more will be added later. You can stream content like Cyberpunk 2077, Stray, The Witcher 3, Balatro, Animal Well, NBA 2K25, Baldur's Gate 3 and several Final Fantasy games. Simply look for the “stream your own game” section on Cloud Gaming.
It seems likely that only digital game purchases will be eligible and not physical copies. That would align with Xbox inching toward an all-digital future. Engadget has contacted Xbox for clarification.
Not only is this a positive for gamers who want to access their games on the go, but it also allows Xbox to expand its cloud gaming offerings without necessarily having to pay a lot of money to third-party developers and publishers to get their projects in. Game Pass correctly. The Stream Your Own Game initiative also relates to all sorts of devices that are an Xbox when, in fact, they aren't. It also comes a day after Sony publicly launched the PlayStation Portal, a feature the device should have had from the beginning.
