Play Game Owned On Xbox On Mac

How to stream Xbox One games on Mac The first step is to head to the OneCast website and download the app. Open the DMG file that you’ve just downloaded, and drag the OneCast app into your Applications. Open the OneCast app on your Mac. Make sure that both your Mac and Xbox One are connected.

Then, simply log into your Xbox Live/Microsoft account and your Xbox Play Anywhere games will be available to download. On your Xbox One, games will show as “Ready to Install” under “My Games and Apps”. On your Windows 10 PC, games will appear in “My Library”.
If you're looking to run Xbox Live on your Mac through the Xbox app or want to play upcoming Xbox Play Anywhere games, you'll need to get Windows 10. Here's how to get your Mac setup.

Both your Xbox One and PC run Windows 10 and that allows you to play select Xbox One games on your PC as well as play where you left off on each device.

One of the perks of having a PC running Windows 10 and an Xbox One is you can play the console games on your PC. The benefit is you only have to buy a title once versus buying the PC and console version. Not only that but you can pick up where you left off in a game on either device. Here’s how to connect your console with Windows 10 and play Xbox One games on your computer.

Note: Not all titles are available to play on both platforms. Check out the Xbox One Play Anywhere page (XPA) to see which titles are available. You need to log in on each device using the same Microsoft account. That will sync data, achievements, and pick up where you left off. And you PC and console need to be connected to the same network.

Play Xbox One Games on Windows 10

Before getting started, make sure your Windows 10 PC, Xbox app, and the Xbox One console are both up-to-date for the best experience. On your PC head to Settings > Update & security > Windows Update and on your console go to Settings > System > Updates.

On your PC, connect your Wireless Xbox controller to your Windows 10 system or simply plug in the controller if it’s a wired one. It’s important to connect the controller to your PC before turning on the Xbox. Otherwise, it will keep connecting to the console by default.

Next, launch the Xbox App and login if you aren’t already. Then power up your Xbox One and from the Xbox app’s menu go to Connect and click on your console after Windows finds it.

Now that your controller is connected, you can use it (or your mouse) to navigate the Xbox app. Head to the Recently played section and launch one of the XPA titles – here I am playing Zen Pinball 3.

After you’re connected you can play games, access all Xbox One menus, talk to friends, play online, and more. After it’s connected, you can power on your console from the app on your PC if Instant-on is enabled.

Also, if your controller isn’t working properly or you’re having connection issues, you can use Windows 10 to keep your Xbox controller updated. And when you’re tired of gaming, check out how to watch local over-the-air TV on your Xbox One. Have fun!

If you want to play Microsoft Xbox games on your Mac there are two easy ways to do so. One is by running Windows on your Mac using Parallels and the other is via an app called OneCast.

Here’s an overview of both ways so you can choose the best one for you.

1. Parallels

Parallels is our favorite way to run Windows on a Mac and the latest version of Parallels 15 supports Xbox Beta from the Windows store which allows you to play Xbox games in Windows 10.

You also need an Xbox pass but you can get one for an introductory offer of $1 for the first month and then $5 per month afterwards.

Even better, you can connect your Xbox controller via Bluetooth meaning you can enjoy the full Xbox experience on your Mac.

Installing Windows on your Mac also opens up a whole world of other advantages allowing you to install PC only apps and games on macOS.

2. OneCast

OneCast allows you to stream Xbox One games to macOS in 1080p and connect an Xbox controller to your Mac via Bluetooth or USB.

OneCast is extremely easy to setup, there’s almost no lag when playing and you can setup multiple profiles for multiple Xboxes.

You can try OneCast for free although after 14 days it costs $10 to buy a license key for the full version. It’s normally $20 but it’s currently 50% off until April 1st. You can also watch OneCast in action playing NBA Live on Mac here.

Before starting, make sure that your Mac and Xbox are connected to the same internet router at home. Then follow these instructions to start streaming Xbox games to your Mac for free:

Download the trial version of OneCast for free and open the DMG file downloaded.

Drag the OneCast app to your Applications folder.

Click on the OneCast icon in your dock to launch it.

OneCast will then automatically detect your Xbox on your home network (assuming it’s switched on) and allow you to connect to it. OneCast will prompt you to login into your Xbox with your Microsoft account details. Just use the same username and password that you use to log onto your Xbox One.
Finally you simply need to connect your Xbox One controller to your Mac which you can do by activating Bluetooth on your Mac via System Preferences. Alternatively you can also connect it via USB.

You can stream your Xbox on your Mac in either windowed mode or full screen mode. You can even connect your Mac to your Xbox away from home too although this requires a few simple manual network configuration changes which are explained in the OneCast user manual.

Although there is some lag at times, most games run pretty smoothly in 1080p using OneCast and it’s generally very impressive. If you find that lag becomes a problem, you can try changing the video quality when you launch OneCast from “Very High” to “High”, “Medium” or “Low”.

It is also a good idea to shut down all other applications while using OneCast as it’s quite GPU intensive and your Macs cooling vents will kick in pretty quickly if you’ve got lots of other applications open.

The Mac gaming scene is really hotting-up this year with NVIDIA GeForce Now already allowing Mac users to play Windows only Steam games on Mac.

Previously the only way to run Xbox games on Mac was to install Windows on Mac for free using Boot Camp but both Parallels and OneCast are definitely easier and more efficient.
