storefront aggregation

About this tag
The storefront aggregation tag covers Microsoft's efforts to unify PC gaming storefronts within the Xbox app on Windows 11. Recent threads detail the Xbox app's evolution from a Game Pass portal into a cross-store hub that surfaces and launches games from Steam, Epic, GOG, Battle.net, and more. Features like the Aggregated Gaming Library, My Apps tab, and Play History create a cohesive, controller-friendly experience. This also extends to Windows handhelds, where a console-style Xbox Full Screen Experience reduces desktop overhead and provides a thumb-friendly launcher for Game Pass and local libraries. OEM partners like ASUS and MSI are involved in testing these refinements.
