According to recent information, Microsoft Store might be eager to integrate Steam into its ecosystem. This could mean a simpler way to access your Steam library on Windows and even future Xbox consoles.
A YouTube video by eXtas1s, highlighted by TheGamer, reveals that Microsoft has quietly added a “Steam Developer Beta” app to its supported software list. This is currently limited to select employees and developers, but it hints at something bigger brewing behind the scenes.
The insider claims this integration aims to make running Steam on Windows devices smoother and will extend to “future Xbox environments.” The next Xbox generation will lean more towards PC-like architecture, which makes Steam integration a logical step. Players could soon switch effortlessly between PC, handheld, and console while unifying their game libraries.
Earlier this year, Xbox accidentally leaked a UI mock-up featuring a Steam tab, which was quickly removed once fans caught on. This information confirms that Microsoft is seriously testing ways to bring Steam closer to its platform.
Imagine firing up your favorite Steam games directly from the Microsoft Store on your Xbox without juggling multiple apps or accounts. This move could disrupt how we think about the boundaries between console and PC gaming.
