Xbox aggregated game library coming to PC with hints of Steam support
A new Xbox feature announced for the upcoming Asus handheld devices will go live on PC this week for Xbox insiders. When Microsoft formally unveiled its new Xbox handheld devices – the ROG Xbox Ally and ROG Xbox Ally X – one of the new features it promised was an aggregated library that will provide 'quick access to games from Xbox, Game Pass, and other leading PC storefronts.' In other words, if you own games at storefronts like Steam or the Epic Games Store, you'll no longer need to open them up seperately to access those games. Instead, they'll be accessed from a single launcher, along with your Xbox games. At the time, Microsoft only mentioned that this aggregated library would be part of the Xbox handhelds once they launch later this year (rumours say that'll be in October), but the feature is now slated to come to the Xbox PC app as well. The feature will launch to the public later this year (no doubt alongside the Xbox handhelds), but members of the Xbox Insider program will be able to test it out on PC starting this week… as long as they have a Windows 11 PC. A blog post by product manager Manisha Oza explains that the feature will be compatible with purchased Xbox games, the Game Pass subscription service, Activision Blizzard's launcher, and 'other leading PC storefronts.' Although it doesn't name any of these other storefronts, they're presumably referring to Steam and the Epic Games Store, and possibly GOG as well. Sign up to the GameCentral newsletter for a unique take on the week in gaming, alongside the latest reviews and more. Delivered to your inbox every Saturday morning. Even if one or some of these are absent at first, they'll likely be added later since the blog post adds: 'We'll continue rolling out support for additional PC storefronts over time.' The aggregated library is designed for the sake of convenience, especially since compatible games should be added to it automatically. According to the blog post, 'As long as you have game titles installed from supported PC stores, you should see them listed in both My Library as well as the Most Recent section.' It's clearly an effort by Microsoft to convince PC players into using the Xbox app, and staying there. After all, if all your games can be played through the app, then there's no need to use the other storefronts. If successful, this would drive up engagement numbers and become a statistic Microsoft can boast about during its earnings reports with investors. We've seen some confusion if this means Xbox owners can access their entire Xbox library through this feature, but it ultimately only applies to games that are PC compatible. This does apply to most modern Xbox games (which see simultaneous launches on console and PC), but not any older games accessed through Xbox's backwards compatibility feature that only ever launched on console. There was a recent rumour by Xbox insider eXtas1s claiming that Microsoft was planning to address this and partner with the team behind Xbox 360 emulator Xenia to bring retro Xbox games to PC, as well as Game Pass and the cloud gaming feature. More Trending However, another insider, Windows Central's Jez Corden, said 'This particular scenario isn't a thing at the moment,' and the Xenia team has also refuted the rumour in a statement shared to Discord (via PureXbox). 'The Xenia (and Xenia Canary, by extension) team is by no means associated with, nor working alongside Microsoft in any capacity,' it reads. 'Microsoft uses their own emulation to provide backwards compatibility on Xbox One/Series consoles and as such has no reason to collaborate with Xenia, even if they decided to bring these titles to PC.' That said, backwards compatibility is intended to be a thing with the next generation of Xbox consoles. Combined with promises of a platform 'not tied to a single store or device,' it does look like Microsoft's goal is to make it so Xbox owners can access their entire library of new games, PC games, and retro games in one spot.

Prologue Go Wayback playtest start time for July and how to join the demo
Prologue: Go Wayback has launched a new playtest for the upcoming survival game, and it's a great opportunity to check out the game ahead of its release. Here's when you can join the fun. Prologue: Go Wayback is back in action with a new playtest, offering you another opportunity to get a sneak peek at the game before its official release. Prologue: Go Wayback is vying for the title of the most playtested game in history, and we're not about to stop it. The survival game genre has been crying out for a new top dog, and now that the Dune Awakening beta testing has come and gone, it's evident that there are more opportunities up for grabs by PlayerUnknown Productions, even if many players have been lured in by Fallout 76's new fishing content. The new game, which drops players into an ever-evolving forest and challenges them to survive against the elements and wilderness across Steam and Epic Games Store, has so far made a positive impression, particularly following its June playtest, demonstrating to players that it's continually improving. There's still plenty of work to be done, however, and PlayerUnknown Productions is working tirelessly to ensure that players receive the best experience as frequently as possible. A new playtest period is upon us, and there's loads to look forward to – including the chance to play the full game a bit further down the line. But when exactly does the Prologue: Go Wayback playtest begin? Here's what you need to know about securing early access. Prologue Go Wayback playtest start time The July Prologue Go Wayback playtest is scheduled to kick off at 8am PDT / 11am EDT / 4pm BST on Monday, June 23, according to a new post in the PlayerUnknown Productions Discord. To participate in the playtest, simply head over to the developer's Discord channel and click 'interested' on the playtest event in the Announcements channel. You'll then be notified when playtests are open on a first-come-first-served basis, and provided with a link to sign up. You also have the option to react with an emoji to the announcement for a chance to test a full build of the game, although there's no information yet on when this opportunity will be available. It's a rather efficient system for such regular playtests, and it could offer you the chance to be part of the history of the next big thing. Don't miss out.

Epic Games to remove this controversial game even if it's downloaded in your library
Representative Image Epic Games is set to remove the game Dark and Darker from the libraries of all owners starting November 1. This action follows the game's earlier removal from sale on the Epic Games Store due to ongoing legal disputes. Dark and Darker, developed by Ironmace , was initially pulled from the Epic Games storefront earlier this year. The removal stems from legal claims by Nexon , alleging theft of assets by Ironmace. While the game has remained available on Steam, Epic Games is proceeding with its complete removal from user libraries. The game distribution platform has started emailing users who have Dark and Darker in their library, informing them that the game will be removed and that partial refunds will be issued. What Epic Games said to players about removing Dark and Darker from their libraries In the email sent to users (uploaded on Reddit), Epic Games writes: 'We removed Dark and Darker from sale on the Epic Games Store on March 5 in consideration of a court decision in Korea between Nexon and the game's publisher, Ironmace. On November 1, 2025, we will be removing Dark and Darker from your library, at which point it will no longer be playable via the Epic Games Store. Effective immediately, players can no longer purchase Redstone Shards or the Legendary Status upgrades via the Epic Games Store. Players can continue to use the Redstone Shards that they have previously purchased until November 1, 2025. We will issue a refund to all players who have purchased the Legendary Status upgrade. Refunds will be issued to the player's original payment method, and where that's not possible, players will receive a refund to their Epic account balance. We are unable to provide refunds on Redstone Shards. If you have not received a refund by July 1, please contact player support.' The outcome of the situation will likely depend on the result of the ongoing legal dispute. While Steam has not yet taken similar action, that could change. Dark and Darker is a multiplayer action RPG and dungeon crawler set in a dark fantasy world, released in early access in 2023 for both PC and mobile. The game received a mixed response upon launch.
