Here's how you stream Xbox One games on Windows 10

4.6
Microsoft has made much ado about Windows 10's support for streaming Xbox One games to your PC, but how do you actually do it? There's a good chance that you can figure it out if you're reading this, but Microsoft has helpfully posted a full walkthrough in case you or your friends need some help. The gist? You'll need both an Xbox One controller and an Xbox Live account, of course, but you'll also need to make sure that the Xbox One is set to allow game streaming in the first place. We could see that easily becoming a stumbling block if you're rushing to get started. The guide is also a friendly reminder of what you can do once everything is working, such as voice chat (with a microphone) and controlling the Xbox One's menus. It's simple enough... let's just hope that PC-to-Xbox streaming isn't any more complex.

slapshot101 I don't see the benefit in this? Why wouldn't I just play this on my regular TV? I mean so I can play on a different room of the house? It still uses the xbox processor and everything, its just like a second screen right?


Pretty much. Say you are in one room and your xbox is in the other, you can play right there. I just use it to see what's happening and such.


The only problem with this though is there will be delay on the other screen.


It all depends on your devices. They wouldn't release it if it was laggy

So pretty much Xbox gives you the option to stream under powered games on your potentially more powerful PC? I guess its not a completely useless feature in very rare occasions, but for the most part its not exactly practical.

Tested it out on a 2mb network and 50mb network. Same result, about 1-/+ seconds of lag. Streaming to a computer like this is not ideal. Though I would share my results.

Still waiting on windows 10, but am deff. going to try this once I get a better monitor.

Itd be better to stream PC games to the console, though. The idea of Remote Playing the XB1 version of a multiplatform game on your PC is just kind of hilarious. Worse graphics and worse performance, plus innate remote play lag!
