Xbox App Update Will Show Your Steam And Epic Games - Report

Microsoft has recently revealed a new UI mockup for Xbox that shows what games players own across a variety of devices and storefronts, including Steam.

As spotted by The Verge, Microsoft posted a new blog post that had a picture of the proposed UI, but it was subsequently removed. In the picture, you can see games like Diablo IV and Microsoft Flight Simulator in the "recently added" in the UI. However, you can also see the "Steam" and "Game Pass" tabs, indicating that you'll be able to see sort games based on which platform you purchased them on.

It seems like the UI is just a mockup for now, as the "owned" and "action-adventure" tabs are listed twice. The blog post is about how Xbox is trying to reach a larger audience, as younger generations regular switch between platforms and expect seamless integration. So having a UI that displays different platforms makes sense. Microsoft is also reportedly working on an Xbox handheld that's due out later this year, which is part of its strategy to unify Windows and Xbox towards a universal library of Xbox and PC games.
