If you’re an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscriber, you now have the option to stream your favorite games on your PC, even if your console is currently in use. This feature can be incredibly useful when sharing a television with others, or if you prefer playing your games on a different device. Here is a step-by-step guide on how you can stream Xbox console games to your PC.
Configuring Your Console
Before initiating streaming, make sure remote features are enabled on your console. To do this, navigate to Settings, Device and Connections, and Remote Features. Ensure that Power Mode is set to Instant On to allow other devices access to your console. Additionally, go to the Xbox app preferences and check the “Allow play-to-stream” box.
Connecting to an Xbox Series X
If you’re using an Xbox Series X, you must be an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscriber to use this method. Download and launch the Xbox app on your PC and click the device icon located near the search bar. Your console will appear on the list. Select it to establish a connection and begin streaming. Please note that if your internet connection is unstable, you may experience some interruptions in streaming.
Connecting to an Xbox One
If you’re using an Xbox One, you’ll need to install the Xbox Console Companion app on your PC. Once installed, choose the Connections tab on the left, and click on your Xbox One when your PC finds it to connect. As with the X Series, an unreliable internet connection can disrupt your streaming, but restarting the stream will allow you to pick up where you left off.
It is important to note that while streaming your console to your PC, the Xbox Store, backward compatibility, and external media apps like Hulu will be disabled.
