Today, Microsoft announced that Xbox users in the Insider program can use the Xbox Cloud Streaming beta feature even with a Game Pass Core or Standard subscription. Previously, they had to be subscribed to the most expensive tier, Game Pass Ultimate. This also includes being able to stream owned games, a feature that was introduced in late 2024 after many requests from fans.
That's not all that was announced today as part of the latest round of Insider updates. PC gamers can look forward to even more titles being available on the Xbox app via their Game Pass subscription:
As part of testing, Xbox Insiders subscribed to Game Pass Core or Standard will for the first time gain access to PC versions of select titles, giving you even more flexibility and the choice to play on a PC or Windows handheld.
To explore the titles available with your subscription:
- Download and open the Xbox PC app
- Sign in and select the Game Pass tab to view your catalog
- Whether gaming on console, PC, or streaming via supported cloud devices, this update broadens your library and makes it easier to jump into your favorite games across more screens.
If you aren’t part of the Insider Program yet and want to help create the future of Xbox and get early access to new features, join the Insider Program today by downloading the Xbox Insider Hub for Series X|S & Xbox One or Windows PC.
