941

Xbox has introduced a new feature that makes it easier for players to access their games in one place. Now, with the help of the Xbox Insider program, gamers can combine their Steam and Xbox libraries on the Xbox app for Windows 11 PCs and supported handheld devices like the ROG Ally and ROG Ally X.

This new feature brings all your games together in one spot, so you don’t need to open multiple apps to find your games. Here’s a simple step-by-step guide to help you link your Steam games to the Xbox app.

Step 1: Join the Xbox Insider Program

To access this feature early, you need to join the Xbox Insider Program. This program gives you access to new and upcoming features before they are released to everyone.

On PC:

1. Click the Start button and open the Microsoft Store.
2. In the Store, search for Xbox Insider Hub.
3. Click Get or Install to download the app.

On Xbox Console:

1. Go to the Store from your Home screen or the guide.
2. Search for Xbox Insider Bundle.
3. Click Get or Install.

This installs both the Insider Hub and the Report a problem app.

Step 2: Join the PC Gaming Preview

Once you’ve installed the Xbox Insider Hub, follow these steps to enable the Steam library feature.

On PC:

1. Open the Xbox Insider Hub.
2. Go to Previews > PC Gaming > Join.
3. Select PC Gaming again and click Save.
4. Restart your Windows 11 device.

On Xbox Console:

1. Open the Xbox Insider Hub.
2. On the main page, go to Previews.
3. Choose Xbox Update Preview.
4. Click Join or Manage.
5. Pick the Preview ring that suits your needs.

Step 3: View Steam Games in the Xbox App

Once you’re part of the PC Gaming preview and you’ve restarted your PC:

• Games from your Steam library will show up under My Library in the Xbox app.
• They’ll also appear in the recent games list on the app’s sidebar.
• This makes it easier to jump straight into your favorite games.

You can also go to the Library & Extensions settings in the Xbox app to hide or show specific PC storefronts like Steam.
