With the current companion app, it is currently not possible to stream games from the two new Xbox consoles to Windows PCs. On the other hand, the new app will solve this problem and also bring xCloud streaming to Windows PCs for the first time. The xCloud app is reported to have improved a lot compared to last year.

The Xbox Remote Play feature to connect to Xbox consoles works similarly to the current Console Companion app. You can remotely control your Xbox console, log in and play games, no matter where you are.

The new app now offers full touch support, so you can play Xbox games from your Surface or other touch models without a controller. Microsoft also appears to be preparing a form of gyroscope support here, but this is still in beta.

Microsoft also appears to be working on 1080p streams for xCloud, instead of the currently 720p. This will of course improve the experience on Windows PCs before HD becomes possible once Microsoft upgrades its xCloud servers with the Xbox Series X.
