Get ready to level up your gaming experience — Microsoft is rolling out exciting updates to the Xbox PC app and Xbox consoles that make cloud gaming more seamless than ever. With these changes, your cloud games and play history will now follow you across devices, so you can pick up right where you left off, whether you’re on console, PC, or handheld.
Imagine this: You start a game on your Xbox console, then switch to your laptop while you’re on the go — and your recent game is right there, ready to stream. Thanks to a brand-new cloud-powered play history, your game library now syncs across platforms like never before.
Here’s what’s new with the Xbox cloud gaming experience:
- A new Play History section in the Xbox PC app and on the Xbox home screen that displays your recently played games across all devices.
- Cloud-playable games — including console exclusives — now appear in your play history and library, even if you don’t own the title but access it through Xbox Game Pass.
- Seamless cloud saves that let you resume gameplay from one device to another without losing progress.
- New filters in the Xbox PC app library make it easy to find cloud-ready games fast.
This means games you played on your Xbox console, even if they’re not available natively on PC, will still show up in your recent history and be playable through Xbox Cloud Gaming on Windows. The goal? Ultimate flexibility and convenience for gamers.
And this might just be the beginning. Internal documents from the FTC v. Microsoft case in 2023 revealed that Microsoft has been exploring ways to stream PC games through the cloud. With Xbox and PC gaming becoming more integrated, we could soon see even more titles, higher resolutions, and better streaming performance.
Microsoft is building a unified gaming ecosystem — and it’s all about giving you the freedom to play anywhere, anytime.
Ready to take your cloud gaming to the next level? Xbox is bringing the future of gaming right to your fingertips.
