How To Stream Xbox Games To Your Phone

Xbox gaming now means far more than just playing on a literal Xbox, as Xbox Cloud Gaming enables you to play Xbox One or Xbox Series X|S titles on your phone–thus giving you way more processing power than your phone could handle on its own and letting you keep playing your favorite games when you’re out and about.

Getting your Xbox catalog up-and-running on your iPhone or Android does require a little more work than dedicated handheld gaming devices. Not too much work, though. Once you know what to do, playing Halo, Gears of War, Forza, and the rest of the best Xbox One and Series X/S games is surprisingly seamless. Here’s what you need to know to get started.

In order to stream Xbox games, you will need a subscription to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. If you’re unfamiliar with the service, Xbox Game Pass is Microsoft’s take on a Netflix-like model for games. You pay one monthly price and gain access to hundreds of games at no additional cost. Game Pass is available for console (both Series X|S and Xbox One) and PC. By subscribing to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, you get the full catalog of games across PC and console, including all of Microsoft’s first-party releases on launch day; a host of EA games like the Mass Effect trilogy, Dead Space, and Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order through EA Play; and the ability to stream many of these games to your phone through Xbox Cloud Gaming. In short, it’s a lot of game for your buck, and the ability to play via streaming is one of the best perks.

Plus, Game Pass subscribers who opt to purchase a game while it’s available on the service get a discount. However, there is no way to purchase streaming access to a game. If the game leaves Game Pass, you can no longer stream it on your phone.

It’s important to note that purchasing an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription is the only way to gain access to Xbox Cloud Gaming. You cannot subscribe to Xbox Cloud Gaming separately.
