With Windows scheduled for a July 29 release later this month, Microsoft has also released an update that will enable Xbox One Game Streaming for Windows 10 PC and devices.

Xbox's Larry Hryb said in a blog post "We're taking the game streaming function on Xbox One, as announced last month, out of preview and expanding it to everyone who owns an Xbox One and has a PC or tablet with Windows 10."

To enable this feature, users first need to make sure that they have the updated version of the Xbox app or they can have it manually updated through online Windows Store. Check for your version by clicking on settings menu and see if you have 7.7.16004.00000 version or higher.

To enable game streaming on Windows 10 PC and your Xbox console, launch the Xbox app on your Windows 10 PC. Click the connect icon after scrolling down the left hand menu.

To get streaming on your console, go to Settings > Preferences >Allow game streaming to other devices.

Once streaming has been enables, users can simply pick a game from their collection and then choose 'Play from Console' or they can even the Xbox One native menu.
