Microsoft recently introduced an aggregated gaming library in the Xbox PC app for Windows 11, enabling players to launch their favourite games from Xbox, Game Pass, and Battle.net. Now, building on the update, Xbox is getting a new feature, which, according to Microsoft, makes “your library as the go-to destination for your games.”
In a blog post, Microsoft said gamers who are part of the Xbox Insiders will now see all their cloud-playable games added to their play history and Library in the Xbox PC app. Irrespective of whether you own a game or access it from Game Pass, all your cloud-playable titles, including console exclusives from the original Xbox to the Xbox Series X|S, will now be accessible from a single window. Microsoft also added a new filter called “cloud playable” to the Xbox PC app Library, which allows you to see which games are supported.
Moreover, game history, preferences and progression will now sync across devices via a new play history tile, allowing gamers to pick up where they left off, no matter which device they are on. This means that the game you left at a certain point on your Xbox console can be continued on another device.

To do so, simply open the Xbox app on the device of your choice, and you will see your play history at the end of the “Jump back in” list. The same list also appears on the Xbox console interface, hinting that Microsoft might add a new feature that lets you play PC games via Xbox Cloud Gaming.
The Xbox Cloud Gaming platform is currently powered by special servers maintained by Microsoft, but according to internal emails which came out during the FTC vs Microsoft case, it looks like the gaming giant is also working on letting players stream PC games over the internet. If you are not a part of the Xbox Insider Program, open the app store on your Xbox or PC, search for ‘Insider’ and download and install the Xbox Insider Hub to access the newest features.
