Manually add games and apps to your library
Now you can use the Xbox app on PC or handheld devices to manually add any installed game or app to your Xbox library. No matter where it was installed or which storefront it came from, you can now centralize everything in a single library and launch it all from one place.Pin your favorite games
You can now pin up to three games to your Jump back in or Most Recent list, keeping your favorite titles right at the front for quick access.Gamepad cursor
We’re making it easier to navigate apps that weren’t designed with controllers in mind. Gamepad cursor turns your gamepad into a mouse, giving you a controller-driven pointer so you can interact with apps that aren’t optimized for controller input.Reposition notifications
We’re giving you more control over how notifications show up while you play. With this update, you can choose where Xbox notifications appear on your screen. Just open Game Bar, head to the Settings widget, and select More settings. From the General tab, you can pick the notification placement that works best for your setup.Xbox mode button
There is now a designated entry and exit button for Xbox mode. This button can easily be found near the top of the app in the Title bar.Rewards updates
A few improvements to your Rewards experience on PC and handhelds include Rewards events and updates showing in the Notifications bell, a new Rewards event that celebrates player birthdays, and countdown timers on Rewards that have limited participation times.Bug fixes
- Resolved an issue where some games were not appearing in Library for some users who installed games through third-party platforms.
- Fixed a bug where some subscription playable games were not showing Install options when viewing the store pages.
- Resolved an issue where joining game invites would sometimes result in unsuccessful join attempts.
- Fixed an issue where some play sessions would only show achievement notifications for the first achievement unlocked in the session.
