#Xbox UI

Microsoft is reportedly developing an update for its Xbox app that will allow users to view and access their game libraries from platforms like Steam and the Epic Games Store. ​ The development came to light when Microsoft briefly published a blog post titled "Opening a Billion Doors with Xbox," which included an image of a new Xbox user interface (UI). The mockup displayed a "Steam" tab within the game library, suggesting potential integration of third-party platforms into the Xbox ecosystem. ​ Sources familiar with Microsoft's plans indicate that the company is in the early stages of updating the Xbox app to display all games installed on a user's PC, regardless of the platform they were purchased from. This move aligns with Microsoft's broader strategy to unify the Xbox and Windows platforms, enhancing cross-platform play and accessibility. By integrating third-party game libraries, Microsoft aims to position the Xbox app as a central hub for PC gaming, simplifying the user experience. Spotify will be coming to the Xbox One soon and is currently being tested internally. A picture of Microsoft's Larry Hryb (Major Nelson) is seen testing the Spotify application from an Xbox One in a Reddit post.
