If you’re an Xbox fanatic who’s ever stared longingly at your PC’s empty SSD space—only to see a 128GB install requirement for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6—you’re in luck. As of July 15, Microsoft is rolling out its “Stream Your Own Game” feature to the Xbox PC app, letting Xbox Insiders with an active Game Pass Ultimate subscription stream titles they’ve purchased or redeemed, including console-only releases, directly to their Windows machines.

Previously, “Stream Your Own Game” was available on Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One consoles, alongside streaming support for TVs, web browsers, smartphones, tablets, and even Meta Quest headsets. This expansion to the PC ecosystem marks another step toward unifying the Xbox experience, offering parity between console and PC users and, perhaps more crucially, giving PC gamers a way to sidestep massive downloads.

Anyone who’s ever upgraded to an SSD only to find it clogged by triple‑A titles knows the pain point: storage is finite, and games keep ballooning. Titles like Black Ops 6 demand upwards of 128GB just to install, while Bethesda’s Starfield tips the scales at over 100GB. Streaming these games means you can play without committing hundreds of gigabytes, so long as your internet connection is stable and fast enough.

Microsoft currently supports streaming for over 250 games—both those in your personal library and Game Pass offerings—and promises to add more console‑exclusive and Xbox Play Anywhere titles in the coming months. If you own Assassin’s Creed Shadows on disc or in digital form, for example, you can now fire it up on your PC without a local install, provided you’re in one of the 28 countries where Xbox Cloud Gaming (Beta) is live.
