Microsoft is testing a "My apps" tab inside the Xbox app for Windows 11 that enables quick installation and launching of third-party apps, including browsers, gaming utilities, and rival storefronts. The My apps tab lets players locate, view, and download third-party applications and commonly used storefronts in one place. The feature consolidates gaming apps into an aggregated library to simplify finding, downloading, and launching games from multiple locations. The unified approach already includes Steam, Battle.net, and Ubisoft Connect and aims to improve the handheld PC experience by reducing reliance on the Windows desktop interface.
Microsoft has started testing another handheld-friendly addition to its Xbox app, allowing PC gamers to quickly install and launch third-party apps like browsers, gaming utilities, and even rival storefronts. A new "My apps" feature is being tested in the Xbox app for Windows 11, and it looks like another way to avoid having to launch the main Microsoft Store or hunt for downloads online if you're on a gaming PC.
"My apps is a new tab within the Xbox PC app's library that allows players to locate, view, and download third-party applications and most commonly used storefronts," explains Devin Dhaliwal, a product manager for Xbox experiences. "By consolidating gaming apps in one location, this feature supports the new aggregated gaming library, making it more straightforward to find, download, and launch games from multiple locations."
