Xbox Remote play/download

Hi there Stefan! Christopher here, an Xbox fan and been on Xbox for years already. I would really love to make your day by helping you out. From your console!

Hi StefanŽonjić

If you are using the PC or mobile Xbox app to remote play from your console and you start a game download, it is the console you are viewing, so it would be the console using the internet to download the game. The app does use some bandwidth to connect to the console (so you can view it) but game downloads are done on the console, not the app.

Again, for example, if you are using the Game Pass app to remote install a game, this just triggers the console to download the game. Nothing is downloaded in the app.

I hope that makes sense.

Hi,

Is your Xbox set up to allow remote downloads?

To check head to Settings > System > Updates and Downloads and make sure Remote Downloads in enabled.

Hope this helps.

I beg to differ. Whitten confirmed this including smart glass.www.gameinformer.com/.../remote-downloads-xbox-one.aspx

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
