For some time now, your sofa has not been the only place to play your Xbox games, thanks to the magic of streaming. If you prefer to play them on your PC, however, this was not surprisingly an option. So far, at least.
Microsoft is testing the possibility for people to play their Xbox games in the comfort of their own PC desk. From now on, Xbox initiates can play titles from their existing Xbox library via the cloud, eliminating the need for local installations on the target device. This means that a game bought for an Xbox console can now be broadcast and play on a Windows PC without downloading the full game customer. Before its arrival on PC, the capacity was already supported on a range of devices, including the Xbox consoles themselves (allowing an instantaneous game without installation), smart televisions, web browsers on mobile devices and Meta Quest. In one way or another, the PCs were not in this list, despite the doubling of Microsoft on the Xbox brand on PC in recent months. Now, however, it is a possibility.
The PC support library includes important versions Baldur’s Gate 3,, Hogwarts inheritance,, Cyberpunk 2077and the next Star Wars Outlaws. The company said that it would continue to add more games to the list supported over time. Many of these games are already available to play on PC without having to broadcast in a console, but there are still titles only on the console that you can now consult here via streaming, which is neat.

New in the game? Here is why you should start with Xbox Cloud Gaming
For all the sorrow he obtains, this cloud game service could be a real money gain for new players.
To use it, you must have a digital copy of the game; Games based on a disc are not compatible with the streaming function. Participation is currently limited to the Xbox Insider program, which is free to join, although some people may always want to wait for this capacity to deploy – which should eventually occur. And as you can expect, you need an active Xbox game subscription, at a price of $ 20 per month. The service is geographically limited to the 28 countries where Xbox Cloud Games are officially supported.
It is surprising to see that PCS has not been able to broadcast Xbox games so far, in particular by considering the wide variety of devices where Xbox Cloud games are currently supported. But it is never too late to rectify.
If you are an Xbox initiate, you can consult the cloud streaming on your PC now. Everyone will have to wait for the wider deployment, which will probably happen at any time in the coming weeks or months.
