Available for Xbox Insiders: Get to the Games Faster with My Apps

Devin Dhaliwal, Product Manager, Xbox Experiences

Starting this week, Xbox Insiders enrolled in the PC Gaming Preview will be the first to experience the new “My Apps” feature in the Xbox PC App on Windows 11 PCs and handhelds. You can conveniently access your games and essential third-party applications, such as browsers, gaming utilities, or storefronts, all within the Xbox PC app.

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. 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.

With “My apps”, you can easily find and download what you need without leaving your library or switching to your desktop. As an Insider, you will initially have access to a tailored selection of apps that you can view and download, and we will expand support to additional apps over time.

My apps enables players on an ROG Xbox Ally or other Windows 11 handhelds to more easily navigate between applications from the Xbox full screen experience, a new feature optimized specifically for handheld gaming. With new modifications that minimize background activity and defer non-essential tasks, more system resources are dedicated specifically to gameplay. 

Together with features like your aggregated gaming library and play history, “My apps” puts players at the center, making Xbox on PC your home for discovering, managing, and playing your entire catalog of great games from any storefront. We look forward to your feedback as we continue to invest in new features.

Stay tuned for more updates, and as always, let us know what you think—your insights shape the future of Xbox!
