It has been a good week for people who use Snapdragon X processors, and it's only Wednesday. Only yesterday did we catch wind that Epic Games was finally adding compatibility for Easy Anti-Cheat to Windows on Arm devices. The update allows people on Snapdragon X devices to play multiplayer games that use the technology, including the ever-popular Fortnite. Granted, the update requires the developers to actively download, install, and push the changes to their games, but the installation looks easy enough, so hopefully we'll see a lot more Windows on Arm-compatible games in the near future.

Now, people who want to play games on Windows on Arm have something else to enjoy. Microsoft has confirmed a new update to the Xbox PC app that lets people download games, and honestly, it's a little surprising that people couldn't do this before.

The Xbox PC app now lets you download games to a Windows on Arm device

Over on the Windows Insider Blog, Microsoft broke down what Windows on Arm users can expect from the Xbox PC app. Right now, the changes are only for Insiders to test, but they should be arriving on the release channel soon if everything goes well. Alternatively, you can just hop into the Insider branch yourself and give it a go right now by following the instructions in the link above.

The spotlight feature allows you to download games from the app:

Game Downloads: The Xbox PC app experience is expanding to support game downloads and local play on Arm®-based Windows 11 PCs. Insiders can download titles from the Xbox PC app catalog unlocking more games to play locally on Arm®-based Windows 11 PCs – including titles offered through your PC Game Pass or Game Pass Ultimate subscription.

Microsoft says that Windows and Xbox are now working together to get even more features added, so it's good that the Redmond giant's PC and gaming sectors are talking to one another and working together to give Windows on Arm users the best experience possible.

There's a very good chance that this isn't the last update we'll see to the Xbox app. After all, as we saw when Microsoft added an aggregated library to the app, the company is pushing to make every device possible an Xbox, essentially. Gamers can either install the Xbox app on a device and download games onto it, or they can use the Xbox Cloud Gaming service to play triple-A games on systems that don't have the processing power for it (like a phone, for instance). However, not everyone is a fan of these recent changes.
