Microsoft is deepening its ties with Ukrainian cloud gaming company Boosteroid. Starting today, Xbox Game Pass subscribers (PC Game Pass and Game Pass Ultimate) with a Boosteroid membership can stream Game Pass titles along with supported titles purchased through the Microsoft Store on Windows.

Some eligible games include Deathloop, Dishonored, Dishonored 2, Dishonored: Death of the Underdog, Speeds 5, Gears Tactics, Ghostwire: Tokyo and Pentiment. Boosteroid’s Xbox games support cross-play and cross-save with PC and Xbox consoles.

Microsoft says it will continue to add more “hits and fan favorites.” Boosteroid first started supporting purchases of Microsoft PC games last year.

Boosteroid, founded in 2016 in Kyiv, Ukraine, said last year it had more than four million users worldwide. In May 2023, Microsoft struck a 10-year deal with the company to try to convince antitrust regulators that it would handle its acquisition of Activision Blizzard responsibly. Around the same time, Microsoft struck similar decade-long deals with Nintendo and NVIDIA to bring the Call Of Duty games to their platforms.

To stream Game Pass (or Microsoft Store) titles, install the Boosteroid app and sign in. Then browse to the Library tab and select Xbox as the filter. Select the game you want, click “Play” and sign in to your Microsoft account with an active PC Game Pass or Game Pass Ultimate membership and confirm.

Boosteroid is available for Windows, macOS, Android and ChromeOS. There are also beta apps for webOS and Android TV.
