About this tag
The local game install tag on WindowsForum covers discussions about installing and running games directly on a device's storage rather than streaming them from the cloud.

This marks a shift from the previous cloud-only approach for Arm-powered devices like Surface and Snapdragon laptops. The tag focuses on practical aspects of local game installation, including compatibility, performance, and the user experience of managing game files on Windows systems.
