In what’s undoubtedly going to be the most exciting news for PC Game Pass members on Windows, Microsoft is officially working on making the Xbox App more Steam-like – exactly what everyone has been asking for.
First reported by The Verge – and later confirmed by Microsoft – a new version of the Xbox App is being tested internally. This update will mirror the features players expect from Steam, and practically every other game launcher on PC.
When it releases, users will be able to install games freely on any drive/directory, away from WindowsApps’ protected folders. It will also be possible to move installs around without having to re-download the entire game, something that isn’t currently possible.
