| On Windows 11, Microsoft is testing a useful Game Pass widget |
The first new Windows 11 widget from Microsoft should make it much simpler to learn which games will be available through PC Game Pass. The widget, which is currently exclusively accessible to Windows Insider testers, is designed to act as a "window" into the service's game collection, allowing you to view new additions and titles that will soon be retired. Microsoft's present offering of widgets in Windows 11 is very constrained, but the addition of a Game Pass widget suggests that the company is experimenting with different programs (less dull than the weather, a calendar, and the news).
Although adding Game Pass could be a nice way to spice up the widget board for the time being and perhaps even help market the subscription service, Windows 11 is scheduled to accept third-party widgets in the future. The new Game Pass widget offers a link to the Xbox software, displays games from certain categories, and allows you to monitor which games are arriving and departing. In addition to tailored recommendations and a means to check in to your Xbox account and launch a recently played game, Microsoft says it is working on adding additional capabilities to the widget.
If you're a Windows 11 tester, open the widget board on your computer and then click the "+" symbol next to your user profile to add the Game Pass widget. The widget should then appear on your board if you click the "+" sign next to Game Pass.
