Microsoft has broadened the reach of its Xbox 'Stream Your Own Game' feature, now enabling PC gamers to broadcast their gameplay directly from their devices. Initially launched for Xbox consoles, the feature allows players to stream games they own to other devices, such as smartphones or tablets, via the Xbox app. The expansion to PC marks a significant step in Microsoft's push toward a more integrated gaming ecosystem across platforms. According to the announcement, the update is part of Xbox's ongoing efforts to enhance cross-platform accessibility. Players can now stream their PC game library to other devices without needing additional hardware, provided they meet the necessary system requirements. The feature leverages Xbox Cloud Gaming technology, ensuring smooth performance even on lower-end devices. Industry analysts note that this move aligns with Microsoft's broader strategy of unifying its gaming services under the Xbox brand. By bridging the gap between console and PC gaming, the company aims to offer a seamless experience for its user base. Competitors like Sony and NVIDIA have also explored similar cloud-based streaming solutions, but Microsoft's integration of PC gaming into its ecosystem sets it apart. For now, the feature is available to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers, with potential plans for wider rollout in the future. Early adopters have praised the convenience, though some report minor latency issues depending on network conditions. Microsoft has assured users that further optimizations are in the pipeline.
