Microsoft is finally turning its Xbox PC app into a true one-stop shop for all your games, no matter where you bought them. Soon, you’ll be able to see and launch games from different stores like Steam, Battle.net, and others, all from within the Xbox app.
The company announced that members of its Xbox Insider program can get an early look at the new feature right now. The idea is simple: instead of having your games scattered across multiple launchers, the Xbox app will automatically find all the games you have installed on your PC and consolidate them into a single, combined library.
This includes your Game Pass titles and, for now, games from Battle.net. Microsoft says more stores will be supported in the future.
“When a player installs a game from a supported PC storefront, it will automatically appear in ‘My library’ within the Xbox PC app,” said Manisha Oza, a product manager for Xbox. She added, “And this is just the beginning.”
You’ll also be able to customize this combined library, hiding certain storefronts if you want. This move is part of Microsoft’s broader effort to create a more seamless gaming experience, particularly with the launch of its new ROG Xbox Ally handheld gaming devices. For now, the feature is only available to Xbox Insiders; however, the program is free to join if you’d like to try it out.
