Updated on November 30, 2023
What to Know
- One option is to buy a game through the Play Anywhere website or on your Xbox.

- The Windows 11 Xbox app can also stream games through Game Pass via Cloud Gaming, or locally from your Xbox.
This article explains all the different ways you can play Xbox games on Windows 11.
How to Play Xbox Games on Windows 11 With Xbox Play Anywhere
Xbox Play Anywhere is a feature that lets you buy a game once and then play it on both Xbox consoles and Windows 11/10 PCs. That means you can buy one of these games on your Xbox and then install it on your PC later or buy it directly from the Microsoft Store on your PC. Here’s how it works:
-
Navigate to the Xbox Play Anywhere website.
Skip to Step 6 if you’ve already bought a Play Anywhere game from your Xbox.
-
Locate a game you want, then select game title or box art.
There’s a search box on Xbox’s website, and filters and sorting options to help you find games.
-
Select BUY, or GET if it’s free.
If you have a Game Pass subscription, and you’ve selected a compatible game, you’ll see PLAY WITH CLOUD GAMING and INSTALL TO in addition to the buy option. The first one lets you stream the game without installing it, and the second lets you install the game without purchasing it.
-
Enter your billing details and then select BUY. If it’s a free game, select GET.
-
When you see the success message, choose CLOSE.
-
Open the Microsoft Store, and type the name of the game into the search bar.
-
Select the game from the list of results.
-
Select Install > Download.
-
Open the Xbox app (open Start to search for it), locate the list of games on the left, and select the game you just installed
If you have a lot of installed games, you can select My Library to look for the title there.
-
Select Play. The game will launch, and you can start playing.
How to Play Xbox Games on Windows 11 With Cloud Gaming
If you have a Game Pass Ultimate subscription, you can play Xbox games on your Windows 11 PC through cloud gaming. This option runs the game on Microsoft’s cloud servers and streams it to you over your internet connection, so it works best if you have a strong internet connection. The main benefit is that you can start playing right away, but the video quality and frame rate will typically be lower than if you ran the game locally on your own computer.
Before you proceed, connect an Xbox controller to your PC.
Here’s how to play Xbox games on Windows 11 with cloud gaming:
-
Open the Xbox app on your computer and select Cloud Gaming.
-
Select a game you want to play.
-
Select PLAY, or PLAY WITH GAME PASS if that’s what you see.
-
Wait for the game to load. Now you can start playing!
How to Stream Xbox Games to Windows 11 With Remote Play
If you have an Xbox console on your home network, and it isn’t in use, you can stream games from the console to your Windows PC. This method lets you play games that you’ve downloaded to your Xbox without downloading them again, and it’s also the only way to play Xbox game discs on your PC, since Windows 11 can’t read Xbox game discs. Here’s how to use Xbox Remote Play:
-
Open the Xbox app on your PC.
-
Select the console icon located between your gamertag and the bell icon in the upper left corner.
-
Choose your Xbox console in the drop-down list.
Your Xbox needs to be powered on and connected to the same network as your computer.
-
On your console, select the option to allow the remote connection.
-
Your Xbox will start streaming to your PC, allowing you to launch and play games.
You can play with a controller connected to either your PC or your Xbox.
How Does Windows 11 Play Xbox Games?
There are three primary ways to play Xbox games on Windows 11:
- Xbox Play Anywhere: If a game supports this feature, you can buy it once and then play it on both Xbox and PC, and your progress will be synchronized through the cloud. Game Pass Ultimate subscribers can play most of these games for no additional charge.
- Xbox Cloud Gaming: This is a feature of Game Pass that allows you to stream games from the cloud without installing them. It’s a good option if you have a strong internet connection and want to start playing right away.
- Xbox Remote Play: This option streams the game from your Xbox console to your Windows 11 PC, so it works best if your Xbox and PC are both connected to your network via Ethernet instead of Wi-Fi.

Microsoft’s Xbox Xbox Remote Play feature stands out as a revolutionary tool, allowing gamers to stream their favorite Xbox games from their console directly to their Windows 11 PC. This comprehensive guide will walk you through setting up and optimizing your Xbox Remote Play experience, ensuring you can enjoy your games anywhere, anytime.
What is Xbox Remote Play?
Xbox Remote Play is a feature that allows you to play games installed on your Xbox console, including Xbox Game Pass titles, on any compatible PC, Android, or iOS device (excluding backward compatible titles from Xbox 360 or Original Xbox). This service enables you to stream your Xbox’s gameplay to another device over a network connection, effectively allowing you to enjoy your gaming library without being directly in front of your console.
To use Xbox Remote Play, you need:
- An Xbox Series X|S or Xbox One console.
- A Microsoft account with an Xbox profile.
- A stable internet connection, preferably over 5GHz Wi-Fi or mobile data with at least 10Mbps download speed.
The feature is particularly useful for those who want to play their Xbox games in different locations, such as on a PC in another room or on a mobile device while away from home. It’s also beneficial when the main TV is occupied, or you want to play games in a more comfortable setting, like your bed.
Remote Play works by rendering the games on your home Xbox console and then streaming the video output to your PC or mobile device. Unlike Xbox Cloud Gaming, which streams games from Microsoft’s servers, Remote Play streams directly from your own Xbox, which can result in lower latency and better picture quality when used over a local network.
Setting up Xbox Remote Play on your console
Before diving into the world of remote gaming, you need to prepare your Xbox console for Remote Play. Here’s how:
- Enable remote features: Navigate to Settings > Devices & connections > Remote features on your Xbox console. Check the box next to “Enable remote features” to activate this functionality.
- Test your network: After enabling remote features, hit the `Test remote play` button. This step is crucial to ensure your network’s speed and stability are sufficient for a smooth gaming experience.
- Adjust power options: For Remote Play to work seamlessly, your Xbox console should be set to `Instant-on` mode. This setting allows your console to start remotely and maintain a connection with your PC or mobile device.
Streaming Xbox games to your Windows PC
With your Xbox console ready for Remote Play, it’s time to shift focus to your PC:
- Install the Xbox app: Download and install the Xbox app for Windows from the Microsoft Store. This app will be your gateway to streaming Xbox games on your PC.
- Connect your console: Open the Xbox app, click your profile icon in the top left corner, and select `View profile`. Under Where I play, click Add a console to connect your Xbox. If it’s already connected, select the ellipsis menu next to your console and choose Remote Play.
- Start playing: Once connected, your Xbox’s screen will mirror onto your PC. Connect a controller to your PC to begin playing your Xbox games remotely.
Optimizing your Remote Play experience
To ensure the best possible Remote Play experience, consider the tips:
- Network stability: A stable and fast internet connection is paramount. Xbox recommends a minimum of 4.75 Mbps upload speeds, with 9 Mbps preferred. A 5GHz Wi-Fi network is also recommended for optimal performance.
- Wired connections: For the best results, connect both your Xbox console and PC to your network using Ethernet cables. This setup minimizes latency and ensures a more stable connection.
- Controller setup: Ensure your controller is properly connected to your PC. While some games support keyboard and mouse, a controller offers the most authentic Xbox gaming experience.
Troubleshooting common issues
If you encounter issues like a black screen or connectivity problems, here are a few troubleshooting steps:
- Update your devices: Ensure both your Xbox console and the Xbox app on your PC are updated to the latest versions.
- Check network settings: Verify that your Xbox and PC are on the same network. Network discrepancies can cause connectivity issues.
- Restart devices: Sometimes, a simple restart of your Xbox console and PC can resolve unexpected glitches.
Xbox Remote Play transforms your PC into an extension of your Xbox console, breaking down the barriers between different gaming environments. Remember, to set up Remote Play, you need to enable the feature on your Xbox console under Settings > Devices & connections > Remote features and ensure your console is set to Instant-on power mode. Then, you can use the Xbox app on your PC or mobile device to connect to your console and start streaming your games.
Now, you can set up and optimize your Remote Play experience, ensuring you never miss a moment of your favorite Xbox games, no matter where you are. Happy gaming!

Microsoft объявила, что с сегодняшнего дня в приложении Xbox для Windows 10 и Windows 11 стали доступны функции Xbox Cloud Gaming и Remote Play. Отметим, что ранее они были доступны только участникам программы Xbox Insider.
Xbox Cloud Gaming позволяет играть в игры по подписке Xbox Game Pass Ultimate с помощью потоковой передачи из облака. Эта функция отлично подходит для тех, кто хочет опробовать какую-либо игру перед её загрузкой на компьютер, а также в том случае, если вы хотите поиграть в консольные игры без игровой консоли. Сейчас сервис Xbox Cloud Gaming доступен в 22 странах, однако России и стран СНГ в списке нет.
Кроме этого, в приложении появилась функция Remote Play, которая позволяет транслировать игры с вашей личной консоли Xbox на ПК. К примеру, если кто-то смотрит телевизор, то вы можете запустить потоковую передачу контента с консоли на ПК и продолжить играть. Причём работает это не только в локальной сети, так что вы можете играть на своей консоли даже находясь в дороге. Эта функция не привязана к подписке Xbox Game Pass, а значит можно играть во все игры, установленные на консоли.
Xbox Remote Play не является новой функцией, но Microsoft значительно её доработала. В частности, была добавлена поддержка консолей нового поколения Xbox Series X|S, а также появилась возможность трансляции некоторых игр от Xbox 360 и оригинального Xbox. Кроме этого, сделаны улучшения стабильности и добавлена возможность потоковой передачи в разрешении 1080p при 60 FPS.
Российские игроки могут воспользоваться Xbox Remote Play.
Microsoft выпустила обновление для приложения Xbox под Windows 10 и 11. Обновление открывает доступ к облачному игровому сервису xCloud всем пользователям, живущим в поддерживаемых странах.
Сейчас xCloud работает в 22 странах, Росси в списке нет. Для получения доступа к стримингу, позволяющему транслировать на PC или мобильные устройства игры, запущенные на удаленных серверах, нужна подписка Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.
Примечательно, что xCloud все еще не вышел в релиз: сервис по-прежнему находится на этапе бета-тестирования. Сейчас в качестве серверов для xCloud используется железо Xbox Series X.
Зато у игроков в России появился доступ к Xbox Remote Play. Эта функция позволяет транслировать на PC игры, запущенные на вашем Xbox. Стриминг поддерживает Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S и все модели Xbox One.
Помимо устройств под управлением Windows Xbox Remote Play позволяет транслировать запущенные на вашем Xbox игры на мобильные устройства под управлением Android и iOS. Стриминг поддерживает частоту кадров вплоть до 60 fps в разрешении 1080p.
