PC gaming can be a hassle with so many different launchers needed to play games. This is especially true for new handheld gaming devices. Microsoft is stepping in to make things easier. They are updating the Xbox app to bring all your games together in one place.

The new feature lets gamers launch games from Xbox, Game Pass, Battle. net, and other stores, all from the Xbox PC app. This means even if you're playing on a desktop or laptop, you can enjoy the convenience of having all your games in one spot.

Microsoft is making it super easy to use. The app should automatically find and add games you've already installed. This is a big improvement, especially for handheld devices where typing isn't always straightforward.

This update is a big deal for handheld gaming. Before, Windows-based handhelds didn't have special features, so manufacturers had to create their own solutions. This wasn't as good as what Valve offers with the Steam Deck. Now, Windows handhelds can compete better.

Microsoft is testing this feature with Xbox Insiders first. They want feedback before rolling it out to everyone. They also plan to add more store options in the future.

This update is a step in the right direction. It shows Microsoft is serious about making PC gaming more accessible and convenient. It's a win for gamers who want a seamless experience across different platforms.
