Xbox Series X players have just received a major update, that is, as long as they are part of the Xbox Insiders program.
It is now possible to stream a user’s Steam library through GeForce Now when using the Xbox Edge X / S Microsoft Edge browser. The trick should also be available to standard Xbox One users.
This exploit was first discovered by YouTuber Joe Chip (h / t GamesRadar +). He found that people on the Xbox Insiders program, and more specifically on the “Alpha Skip-Ahead” layer of the preview program, will have access to the latest version of the Microsoft Edge browser. This latest update allows users to play GeForce Now through a browser.
To make it work, users must enter this specific link:

From there, users can log in to their GeForce Now account.
According to Chip, it is not a perfect solution for playing your PC’s library on the Xbox. First, only games that support the controller will work. He tried to get Quake II RTX to run, only to find that it only supports keyboard and mouse. Strangely, although Edge allows the use of the keyboard, there is currently no mouse functionality.
Chip also found the overall process nauseous. Some games that have controller support would work, but sometimes they won’t. This would force the Chip to restart the Edge and try again.
For example, in one instance, Chip tried to get Wreckfest to run. Your first attempt caused Microsoft Edge to crash. But when he tried again, it worked with all the features of the controller.
As GeForce now broadcasts games over the Internet, to make things work as seamlessly as possible, it is best to have consoles connected via Ethernet. For Chip, he found that the overall responsiveness was adequate for the game. Of course, considering that Wreckfest is available natively on Xbox One, it is better to play it there than to stream it.
At the moment, neither Microsoft nor Nvidia have announced native support for GeForce Now.
