Xbox‘s June update is a perfect example of one step closer in creating a vision of all games together. This major update allows Xbox and PC ecosystems to get connected seamlessly. Moreover, it will give you access to a lot of games on both systems. The Xbox PC app is now in beta testing to launch Steam games, making this one of the highlights of the latest app update. This shows a brighter future where players will get their game library easily.
Innovations in Xbox Gaming: The Co-Pilot Beta
The June update has a noteworthy addition: the Co-Pilot for Gaming beta, which is now in preview for mobile. This innovation adopts artificial intelligence technology to guide players through tough game sections and puzzles to spare them from searching for answers on Youtube. At the moment, this feature is at the early preview stage for the Xbox mobile app on iOS and Android, and it will be available on the ROG Xbox Ally sometime around the holidays. Players can get help on the spot by accessing it directly from handhelds – the gaming experience just got better!
Integrated Gaming Libraries: The Next Step in Xbox’s Vision
The ROG Xbox Ally will get a new gaming library update this holiday season. With this feature, players can access Xbox Game Pass, Battle.net, and other major PC storefront games from the Xbox PC app to make gaming easier. According to Sarah Bond, Xbox plans to marry the PC ecosystem and console ecosystem. In a recent announcement, she mentioned a partnership with AMD and Windows 11.
Customisation and In-Game Features
In this update, another feature has been added, which is custom options for the Xbox console through which players can manage system and app displays on the home screen. Enjoy new in-game perks for titles including Zenless Zone Zero, Call of Duty Warzone and Genshin Impact. There’s also the Game Hubs feature, which gives you valuable stats and insights before launching a game.
Cloud Save Improvements
Xbox improves saves for cloud gaming, fixing a long-standing issue. The new feature includes a progress bar, device names, timestamps, and extensive information, making it easier for players with multiple devices to better manage their game saves.
Future Xbox Insights at Gamescom 2025
Xbox’s participation in the upcoming Gamescom 2025, alongside Bethesda Softworks and Blizzard Entertainment, promises exciting announcements, potentially unveiling further developments in their integrated gaming experience. This scheduled date from August 20th to 24th will take place in Cologne, Germany.
Sales Milestones and Upcoming Showcases
Recently, some games were interestingly acknowledged for selling over a huge amount of copies. In June 2025, sales reached one million for Dune Awakening and 4 million for Age of Empires 4. Meanwhile, keep your eyes peeled for THQ Nordic’s Digital Showcase on August 1st. Expect new announcements, along with The Last Ronin in the lineup of new games that are going to be unveiled.
Challenges at Build a Rocket Boy
Despite Xbox’s advancements, not all news is positive. Build a Rocket Boy experienced challenges after their Mind’s Eye launch failed to make an impression. This may lead to a hefty staff layoff. The Edinburgh-based developers are in a tough position after the studio launched a 45-day consultation process.
