Xbox App Just Added 400 PC Games And Microsoft Wants More

Microsoft has announced its ambition to bring all PC games with Xbox features into the Xbox app, and those plans continue today with the addition of over 400 games.

Xbox's Chris Charla shared the announcement that games like Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove, Jackbox Party Pack, The Invincible, and "dozens of games from veteran Japanese studios Kemco and Kairosoft" are among the new additions to the Xbox app. Charla also noted that 100 of these titles support Xbox Play Anywhere, which means players who buy the Xbox console version can also play their games on PC as well.

Charla stated that universal Xbox ownership, universal cloud saves, and cross-play between Xbox games on console and PC are among the benefits of this arrangement. The Verge notes that this is part of a larger initiative for Microsoft to lure developers from rival digital storefronts, which includes the company dramatically lowering its cut from sales to just 12%. Charla promised that additional news will be announced at Game Developers Conference 2025, which will take place next March.
