Does the Xbox app for Arm signal a gaming renaissance? Not yet

Is it finally time to game on Windows on Arm? Microsoft thinks so…and the company is right! Well, barely.

On Wednesday, Microsoft began rolling out the Xbox app to all Windows on Arm PCs. It’s a bit more significant than that; those PCs are now seeing games that are installable and playable locally, rather than just being accessible via the cloud. In fact, Microsoft says that 85 percent of all Game Pass games accessible via the Xbox app can be downloaded and played directly via the Xbox app.
