Xbox Insiders participating in the PC Gaming Preview program can now test the new “My Apps” feature in the Xbox PC App on Windows 11 devices, including PCs and handhelds. The feature provides centralized access to games and frequently used third-party applications such as web browsers, gaming tools, and even app stores.
“My Apps” appears as a dedicated tab within the Xbox PC App’s library. It allows users to locate, view, and download supported third-party applications directly from the interface. The feature supports the aggregated gaming library that provides easy access to games across multiple platforms and services. Users can discover, install, and launch titles without navigating away from the app or switching to the desktop environment.
Initial access includes a curated selection of downloadable applications. Microsoft plans to expand app availability in future updates.
The feature is optimized for handheld devices such as the ROG Xbox Ally, coming this October. It integrates with the full-screen Xbox experience, allowing seamless navigation between applications. System modifications reduce background processes and delay non-critical tasks, allocating more resources to active gameplay.
Combined with the aggregated gaming library and play history features, “My Apps” aims to position the Xbox PC App as a central hub for game discovery, management, and play across all storefronts.
