Xbox App Now Launches Games From Steam And Other Game Stores
"Microsoft is hoping to turn the Xbox app into the one-stop destination for players to launch games on PC and Windows handheld devices, pushing an update that integrates titles from other major gaming storefronts into the app's library. Xbox Insiders have had access to this aggregated library feature since June, but now, all users of the Xbox PC app can see their installed games from Steam, Epic Games Store, Battle.net, and "other leading storefronts.""
"Additionally, the Xbox app's library also has a tab for apps, allowing you to open other storefronts and web browsers to install and launch games from outside the Xbox storefront. The app's settings also let you toggle different stores if you don't want games from those sources to appear in the library. Starting today, Xbox is making it easier to find, download, and launch games from your Xbox app, giving you one place for everything you want to play."
Xbox is expanding the Xbox PC app to aggregate installed games from major storefronts including Steam, Epic Games Store, and Battle.net into a single library. Users can launch titles directly from the app and view recently played games regardless of their original store. The library includes an apps tab to open other storefronts and browsers, and settings permit toggling which stores appear. The update will support ROG Xbox Ally handheld users and will later sync cloud-playable games and recent play history across devices. The app also supports controller input. There are still some limitations to the update.
