Xbox is bringing its “stream your own game” feature to PC. On Tuesday, the company announced that Xbox Insiders with a Game Pass Ultimate subscription can try streaming the Xbox games they own, including some that are available on console only, directly from the Xbox PC app.

Xbox started letting Game Pass Ultimate subscribers stream games from their library to the Xbox Series X | S and Xbox One consoles earlier this year. Game Pass Ultimate subscribers can also stream games from their TVs and browsers on devices like smartphones, PCs, tablets, and Meta Quest headsets.

Bringing the feature to PC is especially helpful, as it will help users conserve storage when playing games with massive file sizes like Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, which requires 128GB of free SSD space. Xbox currently lets users stream more than 250 games from their libraries, in addition to the ones they get through Game Pass. The company says it plans on adding more console-only games and Play Anywhere titles to its list in the future.
