Game Performance Fit Indicator<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\nI have been in that spot where you download a game, you have your heart set on playing it, only to find that your PC doesn\u2019t actually meet the requirements to play the game super well. You wish you knew that before you downloaded the game and got your hopes up. The good news is, the team has created a new feature that is beginning to roll out that helps you see how well a game will run on your PC, before you download it. Click on the details of a game to get additional info:<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/june-updates-for-the-xbox-app-on-pc-more-collections-performance-indicator-and-more.jpg\")
<\/figure>\nNow the app compares the game’s performance on PCs with similar specs to yours, to show a prediction of how well we expect the game to run. If your PC isn\u2019t up to the task of running a graphically demanding game, you\u2019ll be able to view the game\u2019s system requirements to get more details on what you need to run the game. As we continue to learn about the performance of a game on similar PCs, you may not see a performance check for every game (especially recently added games) until we have enough information to share a recommendation. Keep checking back!<\/p>\n
\nRecent Updates: Easier to Discover Your Next Game<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\nWe recently made improvements on navigating the app and made it easier to find more games to play. All your navigation is now on the sidebar and game installations are easily trackable with the new queue (which shows up in the bottom left of your app with a notification when your game finishes installing) so you can jump right into your next game.<\/p>\n
You can find all the games you care about in \u201cSearch\u201d with improved accuracy, and it now includes games from EA Play and Ubisoft Connect in search results. \u201cHome\u201d is where we\u2019ve added more collections for you to explore. Team up with friends near or far with the new \u201cGames to play together\u201d collection. Jump, climb, and battle as the action progresses across your screen with the \u201cSide scrollers\u201d collection. Or test your brain with casual adventures and epic tales games found in the \u201cPoint and click\u201d collection. Whatever mood you\u2019re in, you\u2019ll be sure to find a game to play!<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/june-updates-for-the-xbox-app-on-pc-more-collections-performance-indicator-and-more-1.jpg\")
