Stream your Steam games to your Xbox
Xbox Game Pass and Xbox Cloud Gaming are trying to bring the Xbox to PC, but Nvidia is trying to bring the PC to Xbox instead.
When the Microsoft Edge browser launches for Xbox, it will support Nvidia's GeForce Now streaming service, which makes it possible to play Steam games on Xbox! The YouTuber Joe Chip has already demonstrated that it works just fine.
Still in beta: The Edge app is still in beta, but Xbox Insiders are testing it and that means it should be ready to roll out soon. In other words, if you ever find yourself in a situation where you have no PC, but an Xbox and a really fast internet connection, you can get your gaming fill.
Silver lining: The new cloud streaming platforms could make games platform agnostic, and if technical issues like latency get ironed out, cloud gaming can present an alternative to games consoles. It certainly makes sense for Microsoft to push this idea, since they've been trying their best to make Xbox into a cross-platform gaming ecosystem rather than just a perennially out-performed console.
