Xbox app on Windows opens Xbox Cloud Gaming and Remote Play features

The new version of Xbox for the Windows platform was tested last month, allowing users to enter the console game directly through the application through Xbox Cloud Gaming or Remote Play. But before this feature was limited to Insider users, today Microsoft announced that this feature will be open to all users.

Xbox Game Pass Ultimate users on the PC (Windows 10 and above) will now see a Cloud Gaming label on the app to facilitate access to hundreds of available gaming console experiences. However, this feature is currently only available in 22 supported regions and requires a compatible gamepad to be connected. When playing the game, the game will be integrated into the Xbox Game Bar, you can quickly use Xbox social elements, such as joining a group or inviting friends to a meeting.

Remember, this is an addition to the existing browser-based experience on Xbox.com/play and will not replace it. At the same time, Xbox applications can now also be streamed directly from the Xbox Series S|X home game console or any system in the Xbox One series. With this feature, the complete game console experience of the device you own will be directly reflected on the PC running the application, which can be through the local network or even the Internet.
