Microsoft posted and removed a new Xbox UI image with Steam games listed.
There are many exciting updates this month for Xbox. Copilot for Gaming is available now for early preview on mobile and will be coming to PC soon. Xbox PC app introduces a wave of new updates: Aggregated gaming library gives players quick access to games from Xbox, Game Pass, and other leading PC storefronts, and with publisher channels players can browse their favorite franchises. Updates for the Xbox Console includes customization for Most Recently Used, free-to-play benefits, Game Hubs, and dialog improvements for game saves.
"Players can now hide system apps, pin favorites to the list, and reduce the number of tiles displayed. This update is part of our ongoing effort to make Home more personal, flexible, and responsive to feedback."
This is welcomed, i like a less cluttered home screen.
The three most beautiful sights in this world are: 1) your spouse on your wedding day 2) the birth of your first child 3) a walkthrough for Ecco the Dolphin in some long forgotten scrawl.
"Nintendo Switch 2 is a safe and solid follow-up in many respects but it has its issues, including the Virtual Game Card system and an aging UI."

Not sure what games you're playing to average 5 to 6 hours battery. Mariokart World and Zelda gets 2 and a half hours max.
Yea don’t think id get 6 hours in sleep mode!
I think there’s a lot of internal software issues with the battery management.
Sleep mode kills the battery almost as quick as playing games does. Playing switch 1 games seems to kill the battery faster than playing switch 2 games for the most part. Even playing a very, very basic switch 1 game seems to drain the battery much faster than I would expect it to.
STEAM is DEFINITELY coming to Xbox consoles!!!
Now I´m more than HYPED for my Next Gen Xbox CONSOLES!!!
LETS GOOOO
but how would that even work tho.
are ms hoping that players might play these steam and epic dtore games on their consoles?
wouldnt there be alot of licensing and all that stuff be necessary?
and would that be even profitable for ms? cause if i buy games on steam, they wont get that money ha
the idea itself is great but the execution is alot more complicated than they might think. especially on consoles.
Seems cool but at the same time nothing would change on my end. Good for Xbox only gamers I suppose.
Because they couldn't get PlayStation games and with PlayStation releasing their games on Steam, this is how Phil Spencer feels like he wins. He wants PlayStation quality games on his console and he can't achieve that so by doing this, he figures he can now get his loyal Xbox fans to get God of War, Spider-man, Helldivers II, etc. He doesn't care about Steam otherwise, this is getting PlayStation quality games and PlayStation games on his console to move hardware.
PlayStation, we told you to keep it off the competition. Nintendo hasn't posted anything to PC or anything other than a Nintendo console for that matter, because they're confident in their hardware. By turning the Xbox, literally, into a PC, you can install Steam and make your Xbox a PlayStation, Xbox Xbox makes money for the hardware. PlayStation, you shouldn't have gone to PC to begin with. It's painfully obvious what the objective of this is
the only way i see it working, is steam is allowed to put its storefront on xbox but a % will go to microsoft, instead of steam getting 30% they will split that with microsoft and both will get 15%, so the next xbox could have multiple storefronts
