Microsoft is testing a new feature for the Xbox app on Windows 11 that integrates games from multiple platforms into a single library. Currently in preview for Xbox Insiders in the Alpha and Beta rings, this feature consolidates games from the Microsoft Store, EA Play, and other services into one hub. Users can browse, install, and launch games directly from the Xbox app, streamlining the gaming experience. The update also enhances game management, allowing users to view all installed titles, regardless of their source, in a unified interface. This eliminates the need to navigate multiple apps or platforms. Additionally, the Xbox app now supports cloud gaming for select titles, enabling seamless play across devices for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers. The feature is part of Microsoft’s broader push to make gaming more accessible and integrated across its ecosystem. While still in testing, feedback from Xbox Insiders will shape its final rollout. No official release date has been confirmed, but the update signals Microsoft’s commitment to enhancing the Xbox app’s functionality on Windows 11.
