The July Xbox update introduces exciting new features for PC gamers, enhancing the overall Xbox experience on Windows. Dean Shimabukuro, Xbox’s senior product marketing manager, emphasized that these updates are designed to provide players with greater control, flexibility, and motivation to engage with their games.
Key updates include the ability to stream over 250 compatible games directly from the Xbox app without requiring any additional downloads or purchases. This feature, which was already available on Xbox consoles and other devices like Meta Quest, is a major upgrade for PC users, allowing seamless access to a wide range of titles. Upcoming games set to be available for streaming include popular titles such as Five Nights at Freddy’s, RoboCop: Rogue City – Unfinished Business, and Rugby League 26.
Another notable addition is the cross-device history feature. This allows gamers to continue their progress in any title on any device, facilitating a smooth transition between gaming platforms. For Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers, this includes access to cloud-playable titles from their Xbox library, broadening the scope of gaming options.
Additionally, players can now manage their Xbox rewards directly through the Xbox app on Windows, making it easier to keep track of rewards earned.
This update represents Xbox’s commitment to improving the gaming experience and fostering greater engagement across platforms. With more features on the horizon, gamers can look forward to an increasingly interconnected and flexible gaming environment.
