Ever used the Xbox Console Companion app to remote play Xbox One games from your PC? Frustratingly, this feature was silently dropped for Xbox Series S/X – it just doesn’t work for these new consoles.

How to Remote Play

1. Go to the Online Link Generator for Windows Store

2. Copy and paste this this URL: https://www.microsoft.com/es-es/p/xbox-game-streaming-test-app/9nzbpvpnldgm?activetab=pivot:overviewtab. Hit Enter

3. Download the following file: Microsoft.XboxGameStreaming-ContentTest_1.2108.901.0_neutral_~_8wekyb3d8bbwe.appxbundle. It should be ~217MB
