Xbox is bringing more games to “Stream Your Own Game” for Cloud Gaming — as well as a feature we’ve wanted for years

Xbox is rolling out a host of updates this week, announcing more games coming to the “Stream Your Own Game” program for Xbox Cloud Gaming as well as some new features for cloud and console users alike.

As shared on Xbox Wire, players now have access to a new status bar and extra details when syncing cloud game saves across devices.

While Xbox provides cloud saves for all games for free (something I firmly believe doesn’t get enough kudos), if you play across multiple devices or you’ve ever had your internet go out and have been forced to play offline, you’ll know that saves then have to be synced, which can be a bit scary since you don’t want to lose any progress.

With this update, players will get details on exactly when they last played a game as well as where it was played, making it clearer on when a game is being synced from cloud to console or PC, as well as providing a progress bar for the status of the cloud saves that are being synced.

It’s a feature many of the team at Windows Central (especially our editor Jez) have been asking for over the last few years.

All of this comes as Microsoft is also integrating different PC stores into the Xbox PC app, making it easier to access various games all in one place.
