The Xbox app for PC now lists all of your installed Windows 11 games. After installing the update that’s available right now, everything you’ve played from various launchers like Steam, Battle.net and other storefronts will appear in your library, giving you the ability to quickly launch them.
“Bring your game collection together with the new aggregated gaming library that shows your installed games from multiple PC storefronts, including your Xbox library, Xbox Game Pass, Battle.net and other leading PC storefronts, making it easier than ever to access your games in one place, whether you’re on a Windows PC or handheld device,” says Jason Beaumont, VP of Experiences at Xbox in a blog post.
Games you install from a supported PC storefront automatically appear in the “My Library” and “Most recent” tabs within the Xbox PC app. To ensure all your PC games appear in the Xbox app, go to your profile picture, head to Settings, select Library & Extensions, locate the listed storefronts, and toggle the listing on and off as you’d prefer. This way, you can control exactly how your library looks.
There’s also a new My Apps section in the Xbox PC app that lets you install and launch third-party apps and storefronts so you can buy games that aren’t on the Microsoft Store. This seems like a convenient way to access games on Windows 11 handhelds, such as the upcoming ROG Xbox Ally.
And later this month, your cloud-playable games and gameplay history will follow you across all your devices. This way, you can start a game on Xbox Series X and continue on the Asus ROG Ally X, for example. “Once this feature is released, look for the ‘Jump back in’ list on the Home screen of your console, PC, or handheld to find your recent play history and pick up where you left off,” says Beaumont.
This update is now available to all Windows 11 users. Be sure to update the Xbox app and check it out!
