How to stream Xbox games with Game Pass Ultimate

There are plenty of benefits to upgrading to Game Pass Ultimate over the other tiers, but one of the most enticing is the ability to take advantage of cloud streaming. Previously, Ultimate members were limited to only streaming select titles from the game catalog, but Xbox has expanded this feature to finally allow players to stream games they own as well — even if they aren’t part of Game Pass Ultimate.

Step 5: Connect either an Xbox controller or other supported controller on your device.

Step 6: Wait for the connection to establish and start playing.
