Microsoft is testing a new 'My apps' feature in the Xbox app for Windows 11, designed to help PC gamers quickly install and launch third-party applications such as browsers, gaming utilities, and rival storefronts. This feature consolidates gaming apps in one location within the Xbox app’s library, allowing users to find, download, and launch games from multiple sources without opening the Microsoft Store or searching online. Currently in beta, the feature supports a tailored selection of apps including Battle.net, Chrome, and GOG Galaxy, with plans to expand support over time. It is particularly aimed at handheld Windows 11 gaming PCs like the ROG Xbox Ally, enabling easier navigation between apps in a full-screen Xbox experience. Microsoft has been integrating various PC game platforms into a unified library within the Xbox app, aligning with its goal to make the Xbox app the central hub for PC gaming. The feature is part of broader efforts to merge Windows and Xbox experiences, especially for handheld gaming devices. (Updated 22 Aug 2025, 13:14 IST; source: link)
