Xbox fans, the multi-platform revolution is firing on all cylinders—Microsoft isn't just talking the talk; they're delivering massive wins left and right! Heavy-hitting Xbox classics potentially storming Steam + a fresh wave of cloud streaming freedom for your owned games?
Trusted insider Jez Corden (Windows Central) is hearing solid reports that "some heavy-hitting Xbox first-party experiences, presently not on Steam, will show up there in the coming months."
This dropped in a Windows Central piece analyzing GDC dev surveys—where PC is king (80% targeting it), but Xbox's high-engagement users and PC-first future keep the big titles flowing.
The tease exploded on Reddit's r/GamingLeaksAndRumours, ResetEra, NeoGAF, and sites like TheGamer and XDA.
Jez's scoop history is impeccable (Game Pass details, acquisitions, Xbox Ally handheld), so this carries real weight.
🚨 HOT UPDATE: Xbox Game Pass Adds 40 NEW "Stream Your Own Game" Titles! ☁️
As of today (February 3, 2026), Microsoft rolled out the first big Stream Your Own Game refresh for the month—adding another 40 owned games you can instantly cloud-stream via Xbox Cloud Gaming (no downloads needed).
This works for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, Premium, or Essential subscribers on Xbox consoles, PC, phones, TVs, or handhelds like the Ally.
Standouts include: Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade, Resident Evil Village (wait—no, check the list), Gears of War (the original!), Company of Heroes 3, Biomutant, Divinity: Original Sin 2 Definitive Edition, Jurassic World Evolution, Killing Floor 2, Little Nightmares III, Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous, Age of Wonders 4, RimWorld, and tons more (mix of strategy, RPGs, sims, and recent hits).
This builds on January's 48 additions and keeps expanding monthly—perfect for ditching long installs, playing on the go, or testing before buying.
It screams even more synergy with potential Steam ports: own it anywhere, play it instantly via cloud!
The bigger Xbox strategy in full swing
- Exclusivity is fading fast: Halo, Gears, Fable heading to PS5 (some day-one).
- Play Anywhere cross-buy/save growing strong.
- Next-gen Xbox = PC hardware at heart.
- Cloud + handhelds blurring lines everywhere.
- Steam success + Valve openness = ideal for Game Pass integration or legacy ports.
Top bets for those Steam arrivals
1. Legacy heavy-hitters (low-effort ports, massive Steam revenue potential)
- Minecraft — The dream one; PC-native blockbuster still absent from Steam.
- Gears of War 4, Halo Wars 2, Fable 3, Crackdown 3, Prey (2006).
- Post-Activision: Older Diablo/StarCraft/Warcraft classics.
2. Xbox Game Pass on Steam: A slimmed/first-party tier for Steam Deck/Ally users—Gabe Newell vibes from years back.
3. Cloud + hardware bundles: Experiences tied to Ally handhelds or new Elite controllers with low-latency cloud perks.
"Coming months" timeline points to spring reveals—Xbox Developer_Direct, summer showcase, or surprise drops. With cloud booming and Steam rumors swirling, expect fireworks soon!
