Xbox Series X gamers have just received a major upgrade, 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 while using the Xbox Series 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 (c / o GamesRadar +). He found that people who participate in the Xbox Insiders program, and more specifically in the “Alpha Skip-Ahead” level of the sample program, will have access to the latest version of the Microsoft Edge browser. With this latest update, users can play GeForce Now via a browser.
To get it started, users need to enter this specific link:

From there, users can log in to their GeForce Now account.
According to Chip, playing your computer library on Xbox is not a perfect solution. First, only games that support the controller will work. He tried to get Quake II RTX running, only to find that it had only keyboard and mouse support. Oddly enough, although Edge does allow the use of keyboards, there is currently no mouse functionality.
Chip also found that the overall process was picky. Some games that do have controller support will work, but sometimes they will not. This will force Chip to restart Edge and try again.
In one case, for example, Chip tried to get Wreckfest up and running. His first attempt caused Microsoft Edge to crash. But when he tries again, it works with full control functionality.
Because GeForce now streams games via the Internet, to make things work as seamlessly as possible, it’s best to connect consoles via Ethernet. For Chip, he found that the overall response was adequate for the game. Of course, since Wreckfest was originally available on Xbox One, it’s best to play it there versus streaming.
At this time, neither Microsoft nor Nvidia have announced their own GeForce Now support.
