🖥️ Xbox is Testing Aggregated Gaming Libraries on the PC App

Microsoft is quietly testing a powerful new feature for its Xbox PC app—the ability to aggregate all your gaming libraries across platforms into a single, unified hub. For PC gamers juggling titles from Steam, Epic Games Store, Ubisoft Connect, GOG, and more, this could be a game-changer.

📚 One Library to Rule Them All

The feature, currently in limited testing through Xbox Insider builds, introduces a “Unified Game Library” tab. This central hub scans your PC for installed games and library access across various launchers, then neatly categorizes them inside the Xbox app’s familiar interface.


Key features being tested include:


Cross-platform game detection from Steam, Epic, Ubisoft, and Battle.net


Launch-anywhere functionality, allowing users to start third-party games directly from the Xbox app


Custom filters for genre, platform, and installed status


Unified achievement tracking and cloud save recognition (where supported)


While not every game supports deep integration yet, early testers report that the UI feels fast, responsive, and significantly more organized than juggling five launchers at once.


🧠 Why It Matters

Microsoft is leaning harder into PC gaming integration—and this is one more step toward making the Xbox app a true command center for all things gaming on Windows.


It mirrors similar efforts like:


NVIDIA’s GeForce Experience game detection


GOG’s Galaxy 2.0 library integration


Steam’s recent moves to improve non-Steam game support


But with Xbox’s native Game Pass library, cross-platform syncing, and expanding storefront partnerships, Microsoft could create the most user-friendly ecosystem on PC—no third-party tool required.


🧪 Still in Testing

The feature is currently available to select Xbox Insiders running the latest beta version of the Xbox PC app. Feedback is being collected on launcher support accuracy, crash rates, and how well third-party game metadata is recognized.


There’s no confirmed rollout date yet, but the public release is expected sometime later in 2025—possibly aligning with the fall Windows 11 update.


✅ Final Word

Xbox’s push to simplify PC gaming could finally eliminate the headache of managing multiple launchers. If successful, the aggregated gaming library feature will make the Xbox PC app the new home base for digital gamers—whether you’re playing Halo Infinite, Cyberpunk 2077, or something you forgot you owned on GOG.
