Microsoft's Xbox PC app is displaying Xbox console games in users' libraries, though they are not currently playable. This isn't considered a bug but a step towards Microsoft's plan to unify its Xbox and Windows stores, creating a universal game library. This involves integrating Steam and Epic Games Store games into the Xbox app. Microsoft aims to make the Xbox app the central hub for PC gaming, a response to competitors like SteamOS and its growing presence in handheld gaming PCs. The future integration may involve cloud technology to enable playing Xbox console games on PC.
