Xbox continues to strengthen its commitment to cross-platform accessibility. Following the implementation of the unified library, Microsoft takes another step towards seamlessly integrating all player activity within its ecosystem. Now, Xbox Insiders can enjoy two highly anticipated features within the Xbox app for PC.

On one hand, a synchronized play history is introduced, which accompanies you regardless of the device: console, laptop, or PC. On the other hand, a faster way to access all cloud-playable titles is enabled, including those that were previously exclusive to consoles.

New features in the Xbox app for PC: cross-play history and improved cloud library

Starting now, Insider users will see a new section within the Xbox app on PC that collects all recently played titles, regardless of the device used. This allows for seamless continuation of games and smoother transition between platforms. The history appears in the “Continue Playing” section, with a new tile dedicated to all games played on any Xbox device.

For now, this feature is only available to Xbox Insider program users, but Microsoft has confirmed that it will be available to everyone later, once testing is complete and the final details are refined.

Additionally, a specific filter for cloud-playable games has been added, making it much easier to find compatible titles, even if they were exclusive to consoles. This includes titles from the original Xbox, Xbox 360, Xbox One, and Xbox Series, whether purchased or available through Xbox Game Pass.

How to view your play history and cloud games in the Xbox app for PC

1. Open the Xbox app on your Windows PC.

2. In the side menu, click on “Library”.

3. To view only cloud-playable games, apply the “Cloud Playable” filter.

4. On the app’s home screen, scroll down to the “Jump Back In” section.

5. At the end of that list, you’ll see the new tile for “Play History”, which shows titles played on any Xbox device (console, PC, or handheld).

These improvements aim to reduce the time spent searching for what to play and allow you to jump into a game from any device in seconds. Microsoft reinforces its vision of barrier-free gaming, where your titles and progress follow you wherever you go.
