Microsoft’s ‘My Apps’ tab brings other storefronts to handheld PCs

Microsoft is testing a "My Apps" tab within the Xbox PC app that will allow handheld PC players and Windows 11 users to access and download games from other digital storefronts, such as Battle.net and GOG Store, in addition to the Microsoft Store and Xbox Game Pass ecosystem. This new feature is aimed at providing gamers with a more comprehensive and streamlined gaming experience on handheld devices, where minimizing background activity is crucial for maintaining optimal performance. Microsoft is initially curating the selection of apps available through the "My Apps" tab, but plans to expand support to additional apps over time. This move aligns with the company's recent efforts to offer gamers more flexibility and access to a wider range of gaming content beyond the traditional Xbox and Game Pass platforms.
