This article covers a developing story. Continue to check back with us as we will be adding more information as it becomes available.

Xbox Game Pass subscribers now have more options when playing their games. And thanks to an update to the Xbox mobile app, it’ll be easier than ever to manage your library, but it comes at the cost of other important features.

Per Xbox Wire, starting today, April 16, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers can stream a selection of games they own on their console, a feature that was previously reserved for those included in the Game Pass library. This functionality comes to both Xbox Series X/S and Xbox One consoles.

The other major news from Xbox Wire is a significant update to the Xbox mobile app on iOS and Android, which allows games to be bought, Game Pass subscribed to, and Perks redeemed on your phone. However, the Xbox mobile app is losing its remote play features, which must now be accessed through supported a device’s browser.
