Fix coming for irritating Xbox Insider Game Library problem - Hoping for swift rollout across all console versions
The Xbox Insider Program has been busy this year, testing a variety of new features, one of which is now available for Alpha Skip-Ahead Ring members. This update introduces a new tab called "Free with Xbox" to the My Games and Apps section of the Xbox console's Full Library [1][3].
This new feature aims to declutter user libraries by separating time-limited trials and game demos from owned games, making it easier to navigate through large game collections [1][3]. PC players, in particular, are seeing the rollout of "aggregated" storefronts, meaning games that players own on Battle.net or Steam can now show up in their Xbox PC libraries [2].
Subscribing to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate ensures that users never miss out on anything coming to the service. With Game Pass Ultimate, players can enjoy day one Xbox games on Xbox consoles, PC, or through the Cloud on various devices [7]. The links to purchase Xbox Game Pass Ultimate are available on Amazon, Best Buy, and CDKeys [8].
For those interested in joining the Xbox Insider Program, it's free and open to anyone. On an Xbox console, users can search for the Xbox Insider Bundle in the Xbox Store and download it to become an insider [9]. On a Windows PC, users can search the Microsoft Store for the Xbox Insider Hub [6].
Insiders are given the opportunity to test new features and provide feedback before they are available to other Xbox users [10]. By signing up for the website's newsletter, users can stay up-to-date with the latest news, reviews, and guides for Windows and Xbox diehards [11].
The upcoming launch of the Xbox Ally partner handhelds is reportedly slated for October [4]. The update also brings various performance improvements, meaning Alpha Skip-Ahead Ring users should have a more stable experience moving forward [12].
While there is no official release date confirmed for when this feature will be available for all Xbox users outside of the Insider program, given that the Alpha Skip-Ahead group typically receives features months before the general public, it is likely to roll out to all users in the near future, possibly within weeks [1][3].
