Xbox Series X | S And PC Get April 2025 update

Mobile purchase option, cloud gaming on Xbox Series X | s and remote play in the browser-the Xbox April 2025 update significantly expands the possibilities for PC and console players. We show you all the details of Microsoft’s innovations for gamers.

Buy and stream made easy

The current April update for Xbox systems brings a number of useful functions that are supposed to “significantly improve the gaming experience”. One of the most important innovations is the possibility of buying games directly via the Mobile Xbox app. In the future, users can not only acquire games and additional content, but also complete Game Pass memberships and redeem advantages. The function is initially introduced as a beta for iOS and Android users before it is available to all users.

For players with a stored payment method, a “buy” button is displayed on the detailed pages of the games, which enables a purchase with just two clicks. Practical: Pre -ordered titles such as Tony Hawks Pro Skater 3+4 can be set up directly for the pre -installation on the domestic console.

Cloud gaming on the console

Another significant innovation is the expansion of the cloud gaming offer. Like Microsoft via Xbox wire reports, Game Pass Ultimate members can now stream selected games that they own or are part of the Game Pass library directly on their Xbox Series X | s and Xbox One-Consols. This complements the already existing streaming options on Samsung Smart TVs, Amazon Fire TV sets, META quest headsets and other compatible devices.

The big advantage: players save time and memory because the games do not have to be downloaded and installed. Xbox One owners in particular benefit because you can now play more Xbox Series X | S-exclusive titles on the cloud. In order to be able to stream from your Xbox console, you have to choose the following options one after the other: “My games and apps”> “entire library”> “Own games” and select the “Play with Cloud Gaming” option.

Extended range of games and remote play

The library of stream -enabled titles is growing continuously. Over 100 games are already available, including new entrances such as Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed and Subnautica 2. More titles such as Agatha Christie Murder On the Orient Express and Starship Troopers: Extermination are added. The remote play feature also receives an extension.

The service is now over xbox.com/remoteplay Available on all devices with a supported web browser. Although access is no longer possible directly via the Xbox app on mobile devices, you can still play via the browser. It is also new that downward compatible games of the original Xbox and Xbox 360 can now be streamed via Remote Play.

Improved user interface

The Xbox April 2025-update also brings useful functions for memory management. The system now gives recommendations for the release of storage space, for example with games that are no longer accessible or installed.

Furthermore, revised game hubs offer faster access to game-relevant information such as statistics, successes and available add-ons. And for fans of the recently published South of Midnight, a new dynamic background for Xbox Series X | S consoles is also available.
