Xbox PC app updates with Cloud Gaming and Xbox Remote Play

Microsoft today announced the release of two features of the Xbox app for Windows 10 that were already being tested by members of the Windows Insider program; these are Cloud Gaming and Xbox Remote Play. The first is xCloud support that we could already use on PC through the dedicated site, while now we can play on the cloud (subject to possession of a Game Pass Ultimate subscription) directly from the Xbox app.

The second, Xbox Remote Play, is instead a feature that was present in the past for Xbox One and was missed on the new consoles: the game in streaming from your console, via the home network. This way, if the TV is busy but you still want to play a game, you can connect to the console from a PC and play in streaming using the bandwidth of your home network.

Both features have been activated on the Xbox app without the need for updates: for Cloud Gaming you just need to click on the "Games in the cloud" button, while for Xbox Remote Play you will find a button on the top right bar, near the notifications icon. So now you just have to try them and start the fun!
