Xbox Cloud Gaming Beta Expands: Play Your Own Games

                Xbox Game Pass has moved to let players stream releases from outside their catalogue
                It means titles not in the Game Pass catalogue can be streamed via your phone or tablet
                Witcher 3, Space Marine 3, Baldur's Gate 3 and more are all available
            

Xbox Game Pass Ultimate members will soon be able to stream titles they own, even ones that are not included in the usual Game Pass catalogue, via a number of new devices. The newest update to the Xbox Cloud Gaming beta currently supports 28 countries, and the addition of 50 new releases means you can stream even more via your chosen device.

Previously only regular Game Pass releases that were available through their catalogue were available for the cloud gaming feature, which has itself been in beta for a while. So the move to allow you to play your own catalogue is a key one in expanding the available releases on streaming.

It also means that some amazing titles like Baldur's Gate 3, Space Marine 2, Balatro and more will be available to stream via your phone or tablet! A pretty amazing, if not totally unprecedented new feature for streaming like this.

Personally speaking, I feel this feature is long overdue. One issue with cloud gaming is the numerous hurdles to play titles outside a limited service selection. The ability to stream otherwise unavailable games is sensible.

It'll be crucial to see how well streaming competes with traditional mobile gaming. This concept has existed for a while, but this new feature will advance the field.
