Microsoft has inadvertently revealed what appears to be an upcoming Xbox UI update that will allow players to view all their installed PC games from various platforms, such as Steam and the Epic Games Store. This revelation came from a now-modified blog post titled "Opening a Billion Doors with Xbox," where an image initially included showcased a "Steam" tab on various devices.
The image, which has since been removed from the blog post, hinted at a feature that would integrate multiple PC gaming storefronts into the Xbox interface. This integration is surprising given that Valve's Steam platform typically operates independently from Microsoft's gaming ecosystem. According to sources cited by The Verge, Microsoft is indeed developing this feature to connect users with their entire PC game libraries across different platforms. However, the project is still in its early stages, and a release date remains uncertain.
This potential update aligns with Microsoft's ongoing efforts to bridge the gap between Xbox and PC gaming. Over the past decade, Microsoft has increasingly released its titles on PC and other consoles, such as Pentiment and Grounded on PS4, PS5, and Nintendo Switch. Rumors also suggest that the Master Chief Collection might soon be available on PlayStation.
Microsoft's recent "This is an Xbox" campaign further emphasizes this cross-platform approach, showcasing the versatility of devices that can run Xbox games. In a 2023 interview with Polygon, Xbox head Phil Spencer hinted at a future where PC stores like Itch.io and the Epic Games Store could be accessible directly from Xbox hardware.
Looking ahead, Microsoft's rumored next-generation Xbox, expected in 2027, is said to be more PC-like than ever before, continuing the trend of blurring the lines between console and PC gaming.
