Install a cloud streamed game onto my PC instead of streaming it?

I would like to know if it is possible to install a cloud streamed game to my PC (win11 desktop) at all - remotely or otherwise? My friend has the console version of DayZ and I am looking to play with him, but because it does not cross-play I am restricted to using the cloud streamed console version in order to play with him.

The reason Im wanting to install it locally on my PC is to eliminate the awful streaming quality associated with the cloud service, which makes the game unplayable for me (laggy, pixelated gameplay)

I've followed every instruction I can find, yet nothing works.

I am unable to connect my mobile app to my pc, no matter what I do. All apps are signed in using the same account, and I have been through every help section I can find regarding this.

Does my PC need to be bluetooth connected to my phone for this to work or am I trying for something that is simply not possible?

When I click on DayZ on my xbox mobile app, the only option is "Download to console" which brings up a screen telling me to turn my console on and log into the same account as the mobile app is using. This doesnt seem right, and nothing Ive tried has changed this step. Ive tried connecting them via adding a device, but that only gives the option to add a console - existing or new. I have selected "allow remote installation" in the xbox app settings also, but this has not helped either.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the swift response!

It is as I thought then, simply not possible.

Kind Regards

It would have to be a game that's available on the PC, but you would be installing the PC version of the game. Through the cloud you're playing the console version. DayZ is not available through Microsoft for PC.

That’s not possible except for Cloud Streaming. Steam Deck runs Linux, and the Xbox app doesn’t support PC streaming.

You’ll have to install Windows to play Windows Store games on Steam deck natively or stream using a third party solution from a Windows PC

@ LostKauz Good question. If you can stream your game from the cloud from any console, and play as your streaming, why install at all, assuming you have a good enough connection to support this? I heard that installs are mandatory. Why, if you could stream
from the cloud? That seems to make no sense.

I have Frontier as my only option for internet, so streaming anything is a hassle.

Won't you be able to stream it onto the PS4 via the cloud thingy?
