Microsoft trialing new Windows 11 Game Pass widget
By Shella Artillero - - 5 Mins Read
Microsoft is experimenting with a new PC Game Pass widget in the most recent Windows 11 preview in order to improve the desktop appearance of its Xbox gaming subscription service.
The new Game Pass widget, which provides a visual shortcut to Xbox games in the Windows 11 widget panel, is rolling out in Insider preview build 25174 for the Dev Channel of Windows 11.
"This widget is a window to the extensive PC Game Pass library – it will show the latest additions, games leaving soon, and others from highlighted categories and then take you to the Xbox app where you can install them, see reviews, and go all in."
In addition, the tech giant asserted that the widget would soon enable users to sign into their Xbox profiles and perhaps even quickly launch games they had previously been playing. In addition to these changes, the new build also contains enhancements to the File Explorer application, which now enables users to open folders in new tabs with a middle mouse click.
The Windows version of Xbox Game Pass for Xbox consoles, PC Game Pass for Windows 10 and 11, offers a selection of downloadable games for $9.99/€9.99/£7.99 per month. Before Google launched Stadia, a gaming subscription service, Microsoft offered the PC subscription in 2019.
Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, a large multi-platform subscription, costs $14.99 a month and includes top-notch games to play on Xbox, the browser, iOS and Android devices, and, starting in June, Samsung TVs.
Microsoft is also working on making it easier to switch to recently played games after logging into an Xbox profile. Additionally, it is developing customized recommendations.
