Windows 10 can now play console games – via the cloud or from your home Xbox

The updated Xbox for Windows app brings two important new features. First, there is support for Xbox Game Pass games from the cloud. Secondly, on a PC, it became possible to play games directly from the console using the Remote Play function – remotely, from a home network or via the Internet.

Cloud gaming requires a paid Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription. As noted by Microsoft, previously Game Pass users could access Xbox Cloud Gaming cloud games through the browser on their phones, tablets and PCs, and now they can enjoy all of these capabilities directly from the Xbox app.

Xbox Remote Play is available on the new Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and any generation of Xbox One. It is noted that Xbox Remote Play has been activated for the first time for the next generation consoles – Series X and Series S.
