"Modifying" Microsoft games
Will Microsoft Store games be able to be installed anywhere? What does this mean in practice?
In the Xbox Game Pass Community Update video, Microsoft confirmed that games installed through the Microsoft Store will be able to be installed anywhere, not just in protected folders. And what does that mean?
For those of you who rarely play with your computer, even more "generic" games, there will be no difference, but for more active players, the change is even more interesting, because once a game can be installed anywhere, it will also be changed or "modded" (mod is an abbreviation for "modification", i.e. changing). This means that soon, games such as Back 4 Blood, Age of Empires IV, Forza Horizon 5, Halo Infinite and others played through the Xbox app will be customizable. And not only that. The free choice of folder also means that, for example, a game that takes up a lot of space will be installed on some other disk and only on the default one.
The functionality is currently undergoing internal testing, and if it goes well, it will soon move into beta.
