SYSTEM UPDATE: Xbox August 2025 Update Connects Your Play History, Adds Gaming Copilot, and Simplifies PC App Navigation

Xbox’s latest update introduces several new features aimed at enhancing the gaming experience across devices. Players can now sync their gameplay more easily with cross-device play history, while cloud-enabled games will also appear in their history. A new My Apps tab in the Xbox PC app allows quick access to favorite games and apps from multiple storefronts. Additionally, Gaming Copilot (Beta) is available in Game Bar on Windows 11, providing tips and guidance to help players navigate challenges. Controller navigation in the Xbox PC app has also been improved, making it smoother and more intuitive. The update also brings enhancements for Xbox Play Anywhere, game streaming, and access to Retro Classics.

Cross-Device and Cloud-Playable Play History Now Rolling Out

Xbox is expanding its cross-device play history and cloud gaming features, making it easier for players to continue their games anywhere. Initially available to Xbox Insiders, the rollout will soon reach all users. Play history now syncs across consoles and the Xbox PC app, allowing gamers to pick up right where they left off, whether moving between rooms or joining a friend’s session. Cloud-enabled games, including original Xbox classics and Xbox Series X|S titles, now appear in your history, streamlining access whether you own the game or play via Game Pass. Players can access their recent games from the Play History tile on console or the Most Recent section and Play History tab in the Xbox PC app, providing multiple convenient ways to resume gameplay.

PC Gaming Updates

Bring Everything Together with My apps – Available to Xbox Insiders

Xbox is enhancing the PC gaming experience with the introduction of My Apps, a new tab in the Xbox PC app currently available to Insiders. This feature allows users to quickly access their most-used apps and game launchers, including browsers and utilities, all from a single location—eliminating the need to switch between multiple windows. Building on the aggregated gaming library, My Apps makes it easier to find, download, and launch games from various storefronts directly within the Xbox PC app. Whether on a Windows 11 PC or a portable device, this update streamlines setup, letting players spend more time gaming and less time navigating menus.

Gaming Copilot (Beta) on Game Bar – In Preview to Xbox Insiders

Xbox has introduced Gaming Copilot (Beta) in Game Bar for Windows 11, currently available to Insiders in the PC Gaming Preview. Designed as a personal gaming assistant, it provides guidance and tips to help players overcome challenges and stay focused on gameplay. Whether offering strategies for tough bosses or helping players jump into action more efficiently, Gaming Copilot adapts to your needs—assisting when required and remaining unobtrusive when not.

Controller Navigation in the Xbox PC App Just Got a Lot Smarter

The Xbox PC app has received updates to improve navigation across controller, keyboard, and touch inputs. Controller and keyboard users will find the interface more intuitive and console-like, with familiar button mappings—A to select, B to go back, and Y to search—along with smoother trigger and bumper actions, faster scrolling, and smarter focus memory between pages. Keyboard navigation has also been enhanced. Visually, the app feels cleaner and more polished, featuring clearer focus indicators and subtle, purposeful animations, creating a more responsive and user-friendly experience.

SYSTEM UPDATE: Xbox Update Breaks Boundaries with PC Game Streaming

Xbox continues its mission to make gaming more meaningful, flexible, and enjoyable—no matter where or how players choose to play. This month’s update introduces new features to the Xbox PC app that reflect that vision, offering more ways for players to stay connected to their games and progress.

These enhancements are part of a broader initiative to improve the Xbox experience on PC and extend the platform’s most loved features to more places. Whether streaming owned games, jumping back into cloud play, or tracking progress across devices, the update empowers players with greater control, flexibility, and freedom to play their way.

PC Gaming Updates

Stream your own games on PC

Earlier this year, Xbox introduced the ability for Game Pass Ultimate members to stream their owned games on Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One consoles, smart TVs, Meta Quest headsets, and other browser-supported devices such as PCs, smartphones, and tablets. That same level of flexibility is now coming to the Xbox PC app.

Starting today, Game Pass Ultimate members in the 28 countries where Xbox Cloud Gaming (Beta) is available can stream from a selection of over 250 owned titles directly through the Xbox PC app. This includes recently added games like Assassin’s Creed IV Black Flag, Mafia: Definitive Edition, The Callisto Protocol, and more—even those not included in the Game Pass catalog.

The new “Stream your own game” feature allows players to skip downloads, free up hard drive space, and enjoy greater access to their personal library, including console-only titles that were previously unavailable on PC.

Players can access this feature by visiting the Cloud Gaming section of the Xbox PC app, selecting a supported game they own from the “Stream your own game” list, and jumping into gameplay instantly.

Additionally, the update enhances cross-device play history and improves access to console cloud-playable games on PC.

In addition to being able to stream games you own on the Xbox PC app, we want to make playing Xbox games easier than ever across the Xbox platform. Xbox Insiders that are Game Pass Ultimate members have access to all cloud-playable games in their Xbox PC app library, including console-only games from the original Xbox through the Series X|S. Games that are either owned or available through Game Pass will all be in one place, so players can choose what and how they play. Also, Insiders can now preview their play history across devices, including on console and the Xbox PC app, displaying recently played games so players can pick up where they left off.

Explore these new capabilities on the Home page on console or on the Xbox PC app by going to “My Library” and jump back into gaming. Learn more details in the Xbox Insiders announcement post.

Rewards with Xbox – Get rewarded for playing games on the Xbox PC app

Tracking weekly point bonuses is now simpler with the addition of a new feature in the Xbox PC app. Players can now view their progress toward earning rewards directly within the app while they play.

This feature is currently rolling out in select markets for users aged 18 and older with a Microsoft account. Players should note that points must be claimed to be added to their Microsoft Rewards balance, and standard terms apply. To get started, users can open the Xbox PC app and visit the Rewards channel on the Home page to begin tracking progress and earning points.

NEWS: Xbox Insiders in the PC Gaming Preview Can Now Stream Owned Console Games via Xbox App on PC

Exciting news for PC gamers: Starting today, Xbox Insiders enrolled in the PC Gaming Preview and subscribed to Game Pass Ultimate can now stream select console games they own—beyond the Game Pass library—directly through the Xbox PC app in all 28 countries where Xbox Cloud Gaming (Beta) is available.

Earlier this year, Microsoft introduced the "Stream your own game" feature to Game Pass Ultimate members across Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, select smart TVs, Meta Quest headsets, and browser-enabled devices like smartphones, tablets, and PCs. Now, that same convenience is coming to the Xbox PC app, enabling players to stream eligible owned titles without needing to download or install them—saving time, conserving storage, and enhancing accessibility through the cloud.

This update also unlocks console-only titles that were previously inaccessible on PC. By visiting the Cloud Gaming section of the Xbox app, players can explore the “Stream your own game” catalog, select a supported game from their collection, and start playing instantly. With over 250 titles currently available—and more on the way, including console exclusives and Xbox Play Anywhere games—PC users now have greater flexibility and control over how and where they play.

In addition to this, visual updates have been applied to the Widget List, Gallery widget, and Home widget for a more unified look and feel across the experience.

NEWS: Introducing More Ways for Players to Repair their Xbox Consoles, Reduce Waste and Save Energy

At Xbox, we’re continuing to improve how we design, build, distribute, and use our products to reduce our environmental impact and help us reach Microsoft’s goal of being a zero waste, carbon negative, and water positive company by 2030. Finding ways to reduce the environmental footprint of gaming not only helps the environment but also creates benefits for our collective community of players.

We’ve heard from players that they want more options for support when their Xbox consoles need repair. Today, we’re expanding our repairability program, giving players even more options to get their Xbox Series X|S console options – the Xbox Series S – 1TB in Robot White, Xbox Series X – 1TB Digital Edition in Robot White, and Xbox Series X – 2TB Galaxy Black Special Edition – fixed should they ever need to, while also reducing and preventing waste. -Joe Skrebels, Xbox Wire Editor-in-Chief

Expanding Repairability, Updating Console Packaging and Reducing Plastic Waste

Players will soon have more options for support when considering in-person repairs for the three Xbox Series X|S console options. On January 20, uBreakiFix by Asurion will become the first Xbox Authorized Service Provider to repair Xbox consoles at its nearly 700 participating store locations across the U.S. In-person Xbox console repairs were previously only possible through the Microsoft Store, which means players will now have even more ways to repair their consoles, separate from Microsoft’s own support channels. Players should check with their local uBreakiFix by Asurion store to confirm participation in this repairability program.

Additionally, replacement components for the three Xbox Series X|S console options are now available for purchase via the Microsoft Store and replacement console parts are also now available for purchase online via the Microsoft Repair Hub on iFixit. With the purchase of replacement components previously limited to controller parts and only available through the Microsoft Store, these additional repair options allow players to choose the repairability solution that works best for them, even if their console is out-of-warranty.

By expanding the number of ways players can get support and repair for their Xbox consoles, we also help extend the longevity of Xbox devices, reduce waste, promote re-use, and ultimately reduce our environmental impact. 

Providing more options for repair isn’t the only way Xbox is reducing plastic waste. At Microsoft, our goal is to eliminate single-use plastics from our packaging by 2025. Packaging for the three Xbox Series X|S console options  are now fully paper and fiber-based, eliminating all single-use plastics.

NEWS: Game Pass Quests Arrive on Your PC

Rewards with Xbox are our way of, well, rewarding you for your love of gaming, and today we’re thrilled to announce new ways for players to earn points. From expanding Quests to PC Game Pass, to reimagining the Game Pass Quests you use to earn points, to weekly Rewards for all Xbox players 18 and older, there are lots of new ways to earn points through your play time. 

Lastly, today we’re sharing an important update on earning Rewards with Xbox. This update aligns more closely with our continued commitment to foster positive, age-appropriate gaming experiences by making points earned through play activities available only to players 18 years and older.

Game Pass Quests Arrive on Your PC 

Previously exclusive to Game Pass Ultimate members, Quests unlock opportunities to earn even more Rewards with Xbox. Starting to roll out on January 7, Quests are also available for PC Game Pass members. Now you have more ways to earn  Rewards points on PC in addition to  console and mobile. The new  Game Pass Quests will also launch in Japan, bringing the region the full Rewards with Xbox experience. 

If you’re an active Xbox Game Pass Ultimate or PC Game Pass member 18 years or older, starting to earn is simple: 

1. Explore the new Quests by navigating to your Xbox profile and accessing the Rewards Hub, which is available across console, the Xbox app on mobile, and the Xbox app on Windows PC. 
2. Earn points by playing your favorite games with Game Pass. 
3. Claim your points on the Rewards Hub. 

Once you’ve earned enough, redeem your points for Xbox gift cards to use for games, in-game content, donations to your favorite causes, and more. 

As part of these changes, minimum playtime is required to earn points through gameplay. For now, Quests are only available for titles in the Game Pass catalog, and this does not include PC games that require third party launchers or are played on Battle.net. Check Xbox.com/Rewards for more details.
