To play, simply visit xbox.com/play using Edge, Chrome, or Safari browsers on your Apple device. Most games are made to be played with a controller, but Apple’s devices support modern Xbox. Click on “Apply.”. Your Mac will now be configured to work with your Xbox 360. Click on the “Guide” button on your Xbox 360 controller. The Guide button is the round button marked with an “X” in the middle of the controller. Navigate to “Settings” and select “System Settings.”.

If you ever wanted to play your Xbox One games on your PC, you're in luck. Many Xbox One games can be played easily on a Windows 10 computer. This is great for homes that share one Xbox console, since you won't have to compete to use the singular console.

There are two ways to play Xbox One games on your computer. The first method is through a service called Xbox Play Anywhere. The second option requires you to stream the game through Windows 10, which will require a constant internet connection. Here's a step-by-step guide for each method.

How to play Xbox One games on PC using Xbox Play Anywhere

If you already own a game that is included on the Xbox Play Anywhere list, you can play it on your PC for no additional charge, and you can sync your game data between your PC and Xbox One.

1. Go to the Xbox Play Anywhere website and log into your Microsoft account.

How to play Xbox One games on PC via streaming to Windows 10

If the game you want to play remotely isn't included on the Xbox Play Anywhere list, your only other option is to play it via streaming.

Play

To do this, your PC and Xbox One will need to be on the same internet connection. You'll also need to make sure that both systems stay connected to the internet - if you lose your connection, you'll lose the stream.

You should also make sure that both devices are fully updated. If there are any updates pending, install them.

1. On your Xbox One's Home screen, press the Xbox button on the controller.

2. Navigate to the Profile & System tab, and select the 'Settings' option.
