Microsoft’s Xbox PC app will soon get a major upgrade in the form of an aggregated game library. In the coming days, the company will roll out an update to the Xbox PC app to testers, giving them access to games installed from “leading PC stores” through a unified library. The news comes just days after Asus launched the Xbox Ally and Xbox Ally X, an update that should make it easier to switch games on the upcoming handheld consoles.
Xbox Ally, Xbox Ally X will get aggregated game library in late 2025
Microsoft said the new aggregated game library will be available to Xbox Insiders this week. Testers can try out the new features on the Xbox PC app for Windows and handheld devices. The Asus ROG Xbox Ally and Xbox Ally X are expected to launch during the US holidays or around November.
The company has confirmed that the new aggregation library will provide access to games installed from Xbox, Game Pass, and Battle.net. Screenshots shared by Microsoft show several Battle.net games in the Xbox PC app. Microsoft says it will provide support for more game stores “over time.”
Microsoft says that when the feature becomes available on the Xbox PC app, players will be able to view supported PC Game Store games in two sections (Recent and My Library) without making any changes to the app. However, the feature is optional and users can go into the app’s settings and hide games from various storefronts.
Meanwhile, the Xbox PC app has been updated with the new publisher channel when viewing the Game Pass tab. Microsoft says this will make it easier for gamers to download new games on Game Pass, while also allowing gamers to discover other games from the same publisher when they click on a channel. The company has not revealed when this feature will be available to all users.
