Microsoft Expands Xbox App with 400 New PC Games and Enhanced Features

The update aims to position the Xbox app as a central hub for PC gaming, adding cross-platform functionality and a redesigned home interface.

Microsoft has added nearly 400 PC games to the Xbox app, including titles from Japanese studios Kemco and Kairosoft, as well as popular games like Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove and The Invincible.
Over 100 of the newly added games support Xbox Play Anywhere, allowing players to access purchased titles on both Xbox consoles and PCs with universal cloud saves and cross-play functionality.
The updated Xbox app introduces a redesigned 'Home experience' with curated collections, recommendations, and a 'jump back in' feature for resuming recent games quickly.
Microsoft's broader initiative seeks to bring all PC games with Xbox features into the app, creating a more unified gaming ecosystem and potentially competing with platforms like Steam and Epic Games Store.
Additional updates and features for the Xbox app are planned, with more details expected to be revealed at the Game Developers Conference in March 2025.
