Xbox app on PC
Last month we released a major update to game installation and management, allowing you to choose a specific folder for game installation, better game management options, and the ability to mod more games. We will continue to make updates based on your feedback. The next wave of updates is available to all Xbox Insiders for testing and feedback, and will be available to everyone by the end of March.
- App navigation updates: This is the first in an upcoming wave of changes to improve the way you navigate the app and access your games. In this first release, all your navigation is in the sidebar, and we’ve made Xbox Cloud Gaming easier to find.
- Performance Fit Indicators: There is a new performance fit indicator to check if a game is running on your PC before installation
Later this month you can install and play Rainbow Six: Siege and Rainbow Six: Extraction directly from the Xbox app.
To get early access to these new features and more, join the Xbox Insider Program.
