coffee2go · Sep 22, 2023

Hello everybody!

I think that should be not ignored by Microsoft, even not a year later, i want to bring this up again.

I would wish connect and bring all devices and games together.

Thank you.

yeah none of their articles and anyone else seem to really understand that the instructions given just generalize the process but dont actually explain where to go. welp it took me a long while and searching through several forums and even searching through every tab i could think of on my pc and even the xbox app:

::HOW TO ENABLE "Allow remote installation from mobile" ON YOUR PC::

WHILE IN THE XBOX APP ON PC:

At the top left corner of the xbox app you click on your PFP, that will bring up a drop down menu with a few different options, Pick "Settings".

In the "Settings" section you will have different options on the left hand side, at the bottom (second to last) you will see the section for Remote Installation, you click on that and it will open up the section where you can then "Allow remote installation from mobile"

However even with this, being on the same exact wifi network, not being hardwired so that im not on a alternate network, connecting my mobile device bluetooth to my PC, checking to see if my mobile device connects to my Xbox (which it does) seeing if my xbox connects to my PC (which it also does) making sure there are no other options within windows itself for remote access for the xbox app, this still does not work. Would be nice if someone could actually help but at least if you are still looking for it, here you go.

Thanks for your feedback.

Well first remote.play is different from.remote install

Remote.install installs a game from.the xbox live onto your console

Remote.play requires you to be on standby mode and remote.into your console.to play installed games

Switch your power options to allow. remote.play

Then install the game you want.then use.the xbox app to remote play meanwhile you do.the remote.play test to. make .sure you.have enough bandwidth

I just tried the xcloud service directly from my series s and it worked absolutely flawless.

Now I am even more confused than before.

Why can I play cloud games directly from my Xbox in an astounding quality but it is not possible to remote play from Xbox to pc/ipad.

But what confuses me even more is that it works perfectly with ps remote play.

Just tested steam remote play from the PC to the iPad and that also worked wonderfully.

Maybe it's an general problem with the series s/x consoles?

If you have steamdeck.then no as you just need to download the xbox app for remote play same with pc

But to play multiplayer without subscription no since its a different platform

This is the cost of switching platform You have to rebuy all your games

I fail to see the advantage in this? The Xbox one downloads its updates in the background, as-well as games, so why would you need to turn it on remotely.

Xbox offers remote play and cloud gaming. You can stream games from your console to your phone of PC.

If a game is enabled for cloud gaming, you can play them on a PC/phone without having downloaded the game to your console. More info can be found at https://www.xbox.com/play
