Game streaming is the ability to play Xbox One games remotely from your Xbox One console on any Windows 10 PC on your home network.
This feature allows you to leave your living room and play your favorite Xbox One games anywhere with access to your home network.
Game streaming uses the power of the Xbox One console to manage the game. Your Windows 10 PC becomes a remote second screen so you can roam freely around your home while continuing to enjoy your Xbox One console and games.
System requirements To take advantage of game streaming, you need:
Xbox One console: Game streaming must be enabled in Settings.
Windows 10 PC: You must be signed in to the Xbox app with the same gamertag as on the Xbox One console.
Network connectivity: The Windows 10 PC and the Xbox One console must be on the same home network. Options: Wired - Ethernet connection (recommended for both PC and Xbox One console) Wireless - 802.11 N/AC wireless connection
For best performance, we recommend that your Windows 10 PC have:
At least 2 gigabytes of RAM 1.5 GHz CPU or faster Network connection to your home network: Best performance: Wired Ethernet connection Good performance: Wireless – 5 GHz 802.11 N or 802.11 AC wireless access point Limited performance: Wireless – 2.4 GHz 802.11 N or 802.11 AC wireless access point
Note If a wired connection is not practical in your home due to the distance between your console and your home networking device, you can invest in either of two additional options that take advantage of the existing wiring in your home:
Powerline network adapters – These adapters allow you to use the existing electrical wiring of your home as a high-speed wired network.
MoCA (Multimedia over Coax) – These adapters allow you to use the existing coaxial cable wiring of your home as a high-speed wired network.
