Console Streaming is our new system feature that enables you to play
your owned and installed Xbox One games, including Xbox Game
Pass titles, on your Android phone or tablet, streamed from your home
console. We view the public preview as an important step in our journey
to deliver game streaming to Xbox players around the world! We are
