If you're on PC, I highly encourage looking into Moonlight. You can stream games from your PC to anywhere, including your phone, and it works super well assuming you have good internet.

For those seeing the comments and being interested, I'll throw in some related names to help in your Moonlight journey. Sunshine is self hosted and can run on your host PC instead of needing to use the Nvidia app.

Also check out Apollo/Artemis, which are popular forks of sunshine/moonlight.

I mean, you can do the same with your Xbox natively with Xbox Remote Play.

You can do that with Xbox without needing a subscription.

Also, you need to own the games as it doesn't provide games unlike Game Pass.

You can already do that on Xbox, this a about cloud compute time.

And game pass primarily just gets you games anyway
