#My apps Xbox

Microsoft is testing a new feature in its Xbox app for Windows 11 that could make gaming on a PC, especially handhelds, much easier. Called "My apps," the new feature gives users a simple way to find, install, and launch third-party apps like web browsers, gaming tools, and even other game stores—all from inside the Xbox app. Rather than switching between different launchers or digging through the Microsoft Store, users can now manage apps like Chrome, Battle.net, and GOG Galaxy from one place. The new tab is still in beta, and Microsoft is testing it with a select group of apps. In early tests, it worked well with already-installed apps like Chrome and Battle.net. The Xbox app simply launched those programs directly. For apps not already installed, like GOG Galaxy, the Xbox app attempted to handle the download and installation process without needing to go back to the Windows desktop. Instead, gamers will be able to stay inside the full-screen Xbox app, using it as the main interface for everything they need.
