In late 2021, Microsoft announced some major improvements coming to the Xbox Game Pass app on PC. The update will finally give users more control over their game installs and files, as well as increased mod support. Now after months of testing, this update is finally ready to roll out.

 

Today, alongside new Xbox Game Pass game announcements, Microsoft also revealed that the Game Pass app on PC will be getting its highly anticipated update today. Now, users of the app can expect more flexibility and control over their games and files, bringing it more in line with something like Steam, and continuing to do away with the awful UWP system that debuted on Windows 10.

I noticed the other day that Xbox Game Pass now gives the option to choose a custom folder to install games in. I could go on a long rant about how bad the issues with game installs and windows permissions were before this update... suffice to say I'm very happy to see this. It was really needed.
