Thankfully, new features are coming to the Xbox PC app in the coming months, including the ability to change where your games are installed and actually access your files. We had some legacy systems with which we was working, explained Jason Beaumont in a graphical video posted today on the PC. We had UWP games and all that stuff around delivery and installation. We made some significant improvements to these systems. You know they left some problems for PC gamers with just updating their apps, downloading, installing and the like. The big new change for many people is the ability to install games on different Windows drives, and then set the default folder. This is another promise: faster download speeds. Mod support was a recurring request, and it’s coming for many games within Xbox Game Pass. The user can access your local files, so that you can move and edit game files. The Xbox PC app says if a game supports the mods with a note under its name, it would not be possible to. Each of these PC updates will be available first to Xbox Insiders before a large release. The players used to try to uninstall games and delete obscured files, but when the system was wonky, something had to give. I never experienced a doomsday scenario with an impossible-to-remove game, but I find Xbox Game Pass on PC to be offputting enough that I may be able to avoid it if I can help. Assuming that everything works as expected, this is a good step. And as in some cases, one.
