15 New Games Quietly Added To Xbox 'Stream Your Own Game' Library

This service makes absolutely zero sense. You can already stream your owned games free of any Xbox game pass subscription, using remote play. Your even able to play your Xbox 360 games. I don't see why Xbox added something you can already do without a monthly subscription?

NieR: Automata was pretty cool but the amount of endings was a real gripe for me. Not a huge fan of multiple endings.

@Batfan2425 you don't need any console to be ON, accessible, owned etc etc etc with this service. Also 360 games were only made available in the official app in April of this year.

@Batfan2425 This is for those who have Gamepass Ultimate but don't own a console (or maybe even a PC). Essentially it is Microsoft's take on Amazon Luna or Google Stadia.

Played Mindseye on PlayStation and didn't think it was as bad as it reviewed. Decent 12-15 hour linear story, worth a rental.

@kuu_nousee Where do you rent games in this day and age??

@Ricky-Spanish Gamefly... It's a HUGE reason I even have consoles and most of them. Renting games saves money overall vs buying strictly digital console games. You are effectively throwing money at the wind for an 'entitlement' if "buying" digital console games is the primary way someone plays games.

Only "buying" PC games at a fraction of the cost of a console digital game is a way to save money when only playing digital games (besides GamePass/PS+ service of course).

@kuu_nousee Cool dude I didn't know anywhere still rents games now.
And buying digital is perfectly fine in my opinion if I buy a game today chances are I'm probably going to be done playing it in ten years time so I'm not to bothered and I don't buy live service games so most will still be around I'm more concerned keeping myself going for the coming years then games I purchase lasting I never understood this scepticism about digital games like we are being ripped off?
Physical games most likely won't exist next gen except with the switch 2!

@Ricky-Spanish I get it and I "buy" digital games but people need to understand you do not own them, you just purchase access to them that's all. Like a glofied long-term GamePass sub per game and as long as people understand that that's all that matters.

The only exception is gog.com where purchasing the games are yours forever as long as you can login to your account and/or back-up the installers. Unfortunately nothing like this exists on consoles for digital (but maybe gog games will work on the next Xbox console?), just physical console games discs/carts. This is why (some) people still love renting physical games.

"Physical games most likely won't exist next gen except with the switch 2!"

Only because most people gave up owning games for faster game access by purchasing more digital games than physical games. If more physical games were sold I'd disagree, but you are correct that is the trajectory we are heading.

@kuu_nousee No dude I don't believe that tinfoil hat way of thinking physical games aren't a cross to die on there is nothing wrong with purchasing digital games unless your a conspiracy theorist

@Ricky-Spanish We don't own our closed store Xbox digital games, there isn't a conspiracy here. This basically means you don't read the EULA/fine print when you signed up for your Xbox account nor the changes they send via email on EULA.

If you are fine to not understand what you signed up for that's on you when purchasing digital games. There is no other way to dumb this down more. I'm just trying to help people be aware you can own your games, but it's just a waste of time apparently.

@kuu_nousee I can't deny the facts if that what the user agreement says but all I'll say it's very very unlikely Microsoft is all of a sudden going to just take all my digital purchases back anytime soon at least!!
I still have 360 games I bought I can download now over a decade later!!
A decent analogy is I walk down the street everyday I know I could be hit by a car driving by one of those days and I know that but it's just a possibility not guaranteed and I've been walking the same road for years still living well so why would I be paranoid about being hit by a car on the road when being hit by the car (ie Microsoft taking back my digital purchases) is a tiny tiny possibility that probably won't ever happen 🤷

@Ricky-Spanish yeah I did't worry about for years but it has even happened to me during OG Xbox days. I lost my account with all my OG Xbox DLC from Halo 2 after I was put in multiple official matchmaking ranked games that were modded games. The people who hacked their consoles got banned and I got banned for reporting them while using against the EULA language, so they reported me for hacking. It was a total loss for everyone from what I was told and there was no way to prove otherwise back then even re-appealing the claim. But this was during ranked Halo 2 games with paid for Xbox Live without my console being modded like the other people did whom were the hosts.

Yes stranger things have happened to people and yes that is before the Xbox 360 where Microsoft learned a lot from online play and didn't have a great service to record situations online like now.

The point stands we could loose access to our logins/game access in the future if we don't have a way to prove ownership in a way that Microsoft deem acceptable at that time.

@kuu_nousee Damn that's unfortunate alright buddy and yeah I would have to agree if your profile is banned for a silly reason or lost for whatever reason them games are gone forever!!
I can see why you would be sceptical about buying digitally now in fairness if that happened to me I would be to.
Hopefully please god everything will stay good with my purchases but yeah I can't really argue with the points you make!
Touché good sir👏
