Microsoft has inadvertently revealed a potential new feature for Xbox that could change the way gamers interact with their PC game libraries. A recent blog post titled "Opening a Billion Doors with Xbox" included an image showcasing the Xbox Series X | S alongside various devices, one of which displayed a "Steam" tab. This unexpected glimpse was quickly removed from the post, but not before eagle-eyed readers spotted it and shared it with The Verge.
The inclusion of a Steam tab in an Xbox UI update mockup is intriguing, as it suggests Microsoft is exploring ways to integrate players' PC game libraries from various storefronts, such as Steam and the Epic Games Store, into the Xbox ecosystem. According to The Verge's sources, this feature is still in the early stages of development, indicating that a rollout, if it happens at all, is not imminent.
Microsoft's move to incorporate PC game libraries into Xbox aligns with its broader strategy of bridging the gap between Xbox and PC gaming. Over the past decade, Microsoft has been increasingly bringing its titles to PC and other platforms. Notable examples include games like Pentiment and Grounded being released on PS4, PS5, and Nintendo Switch. Additionally, there are ongoing rumors about the Master Chief Collection potentially coming to PlayStation.
This trend is part of Microsoft's ongoing effort to blur the lines between Xbox and PC gaming. The "This is an Xbox" campaign, launched just months ago, emphasizes the variety of devices on which players can enjoy Xbox games. In an interview with Polygon last year, Xbox head Phil Spencer hinted at a future where PC stores like Itch.io and the Epic Games Store could be accessible directly on Xbox hardware.
Furthermore, rumors suggest that Microsoft's next-generation Xbox, expected in 2027, will be more akin to a PC than any previous Xbox model. This development underscores Microsoft's commitment to creating a more unified gaming experience across different platforms.
