Microsoft leaked something that seems to be an update of the Xbox Xbox interface, which allows players to see all PC games that they installed via Steam, Epic Games Store and others.
The company prematurely withdrew the curtain, which can ultimately be a function for players in the last post on the blog entitled “Opening a billion door with Xbox”. Forbidden and made available by The VergeThe post contained a seemingly harmless image of Xbox Series X | S consoles next to phones, tablets, television screens and others. A closer control reveals, however, that some device screens emphasize the diminutive tab marked with “Steam”.
It is simple to miss, but undeniably strange, taking into account the PC Valve digital store, there is really no functionality with Microsoft games in this way. The image was also removed from the post itself, signaling that the Xbox team was not interested in leaving it after several astute readers noticed the inclusion of Steam.
Verge sources said that the company is actually working on an update that will connect users not only to the Steam library, but also to other store sites. If it is right, it would mean that players could see any game installed on their computers and what shops site for which they bought them. The site said that Microsoft is still in the “early stages” when it comes to developing this potential update of the user interface, so do not expect that soon (if at all) you will see the update until more specific information is revealed.

Any mention of Steam in the official model of the Xbox interface update should raise the eyebrows, even if it has been unintentionally published. Microsoft has spent the last decade, slowly bringing more of his titles not only on the PC, but also to other platforms. Some attractions are games like Pentiment and grounded on the PS4, PS5 and Nintendo switchone sec The rumors still point to the Master Chief collection, eventually arrives at PlayStation.
Over the past few years, Microsoft has been still blurring the boundaries between Xbox and PC. Only a few months ago he launched The “This is Xbox” campaignwhich aims to show all devices in which players can play Xbox games. In an interview with Polygon Last year, the boss of Xbox Phil Spencer irritated that he saw the future in which PC stores, such as Itch.io and Epic Games Store are available on Xbox equipment.
Indeed, the alleged recent generation Xbox Microsoft, apparently appearing 2027, will be apparently more similar to a computer than any Xbox.
