Microsoft Corp. has introduced significant updates to its Xbox ecosystem, enabling users to purchase games directly through the Xbox mobile app on Android and iOS devices. This update, which has been a highly requested feature by the Xbox community, allows players to buy games, add-on content, join Xbox Game Pass, and redeem perks from their mobile devices. The feature is initially rolling out to beta testers before becoming available to all users. Players can also pre-order games like Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4 and Assassin's Creed Shadows, setting them to pre-install on Xbox consoles from the app. Additionally, Xbox has expanded its 'Stream Your Own Game' feature to Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One consoles. This capability, previously available on other devices such as Samsung Smart TVs and Amazon Fire TV, allows Game Pass Ultimate subscribers to stream select games they own from a library of over 100 games without the need for downloading and installing them. This update aims to save time and storage space for players. In a related move, Microsoft is shifting Xbox Remote Play from the mobile app to a web-based platform accessible at xbox.com/remoteplay. This change will enable players to access Remote Play on a broader range of devices, including supported Samsung Smart TVs, Amazon Fire TV devices, and Meta Quest headsets. Backward compatible games from the original Xbox and Xbox 360 will also be available for streaming via remote play across all supported devices.
