Microsoft is getting ready to make the Xbox PC app your go-to gaming hub,
regardless of where you buy your games. The company has announced that Xbox
Insiders enrolled in the PC Gaming Preview will get early access to a new
aggregated gaming library within the Xbox PC app for Windows 11 PCs as well
as handheld devices. The new feature is coming to the ROG Xbox Ally and ROG
Xbox Ally X this holiday season.

Gamers' libraries are often split across different platforms like Steam,
Xbox, Epic Games, and others. With this new update, Windows aims to aggregate
your gaming library entirely within the Xbox app, allowing your Game Pass
titles, as well as titles from Battle.net, to all be launched from one place.
The announcement did not call out any other launchers or libraries by name
but made references to more storefronts being supported in the future.

ΓÇ£When a player installs a game from a supported PC storefront, it will
automatically appear in ΓÇÿMy libraryΓÇÖ within the Xbox PC app, as well as
the ΓÇÿMost recentΓÇÖ list of titles in the sidebarΓÇömaking it easier than
ever to jump back into your games,ΓÇ¥ said Manisha Oza, product manager for
Xbox. They added, ΓÇ£And this is just the beginning. WeΓÇÖll continue rolling
out support for additional PC storefronts over time.ΓÇ¥

Users will be able to curate these combined libraries, while hiding or
excluding particular storefronts and including others. The rollout is
exclusive to the Xbox Insider Program for now, which is free to join if
youΓÇÖre curious to try the new PC Gaming Preview.

Microsoft has been making moves recently to bring its gaming services to par
with other major players in the space, including a rumored unification of its
console, PC, and handheld platforms. With Microsoft having recently announced
its ROG Xbox Ally handhelds, it makes sense to strive for a more seamless
player experience where all compatible games can be launched from one
environment. We have reached out to Microsoft for clarity on what libraries
are being included in this new all-in-one launcher model.
