More Evidence Of Xbox Cloud Gaming's 'Stream Your Own Games' Feature Surfaces

Nice but don't charge us a fee for it that wouldnt be nice!

Totally different subject I have just tried to call Xbox customer service after going to 4 different departments no one knew the answer to my question. They never used to be like this.

It was a simple question, you might know the answer.
UK Series x 2tb new model preorder for release 17/10/24.
Get to the checkout and gives a delivery date of 9/12/24. What’s that all about.

Microsoft surly are drowning in their own corporate size and mass.
Xbox was far better under its own totally separate division like years ago.
Customer service was one call and they knew everything.

The new Nintendo whatever* cannot get here fast enough so I can play all my XBOX games on it. My Series X is about to become a useless paperweight. If Sony could have figured out how to make actual new games MS would have been out of the game since Halo Infinite flopped. Been real MS, but cloud is where I check out. Bring back the fun in gaming and collecting.

@OldGamer999 If Microsoft were the only company with this problem, I would be happy. Nowadays all big companies have the same problem, the lack of knowledge from employees is ridiculous... to the point where customers have more knowledge than the employees, sadly...

Until you can stream the games you have bought/own, it will never be a real choice for even the most casual. Whilst MS remains in full control over that small library of games you can play on Cloud, the fact that they can be rotated 'out' will put people off.

Its that 'fear' of losing access to something they've been playing 'before' they are ready to move on to something else. Cloud gaming doesn't allow you to 'buy' (even with the 'Game Pass' discount) and continue playing 'via' Cloud - to build up your 'own' library alongside the 'Game Pass Cloud Library' provided by MS.

Cloud has by far the smallest Library of Games and no way to add 'others' to your Library - its much more Supplemental to Hardware - ie a Way to try games before deciding whether or not to download, a way to play games if/when you are away from your Hardware etc. So until they add the option to play Digital Games you've bought as well, it will forever be just a supplemental service....

It’s just crazy that the date of release is 17/10/24.
But delivery coming up 9/12/24.
Only Xbox out of them and Sony and Nintendo can be this bad.
If you preorder a PS5 pro or any other console in the past you got it day of release.
If preorders are sold out for the day of release date, they don’t take any more preorders.

Just shows how distant Xbox have become, perhaps the USA do it this way but Europe and the UK don’t.

@themightyant It's £550 for the 2TB Xbox.

Why wouldn't you have Gamepass Ultimate? You just buy it from 3rd party like Cdkeys for £85 so just over £7 a month, it's a lot cheaper than Sonys expensive PS Premium at £120 and you get much more for your money.

I've been waiting for this feature for a long time. I'm glad it's finally happening.

@themightyant Doubt there will be any price increase, it's not like Gamepass where you are getting new games to stream each month, this is just letting you stream games you have already bought.

This'd be good to get for sure. I really hope it's something that can be super easily added to games (like the publisher just need to tick a box), as there's older games I'd love to see added to cloud where the developers have moved to other projects, etc.
