It’s far simpler to connect to a cloud-based service like from your own PC. But that’s like establishing a remote desktop connection to log into a remote PC, and using that to check your email. Today, you can use the Xbox app to connect to a remote Xbox console and stream games to your PC, and manage its settings-as long as it’s online and connected. These features could be removed from the Xbox Console Companion app as it is refocused.There’s certainly room for the Xbox Console Companion to take on a greater role in Xbox remote management. The Game Bar has gained cross-platform voice and text chatting with friends which is synchronised across Xbox devices, as well as multiplayer team management. It also now features Spotify music controls as part of Microsoft's efforts to improve gaming on Windows 10. It also now offers several of the same features as the Xbox app including social media integration. The company also recently overhauled the Windows 10 Game Bar which now has multiple tools including PC resource monitors, customisable widgets, and broadcast and game capture controls.
The company has previously said that it will begin xCloud trials in 2019. Microsoft will be hosting a press conference on June 9 (1:30am IST on June 10) at the E3 2019 gaming expo, at which it could unveil the promised new desktop experience as well as shed more light on the xCloud streaming service. Users can also chat with friends and participate in communities, check and share in-game achievements, manage stills and video clips recorded using the console's DVR feature, and even stream games from an Xbox One console to a Windows 10 PC. The app currently allows users to manage games installed on their Windows 10 PCs, browse games in the Microsoft Store, and manage their Xbox Live profiles. A new desktop experience is coming soon and requires an up to date version of Windows, so do be sure to update to the Windows Update and stay tuned for the latest". This app is being renamed to Xbox Console Companion to be a dedicated app for your Xbox console features and settings. Users running Windows 10 who update their Microsoft Store apps will see a message saying “Pardon our dust. Similar changes do not seem to have been made to the Xbox apps for iOS and Android, at least not yet. It could also play in to the expected launch of Microsoft's xCloud online gaming service and allow game streaming between a user's devices.
While the app is currently no different other than its name, the next update is expected to reinvent it as a dashboard for Xbox console settings and unspecified features. Microsoft has updated its Xbox app for Windows 10 with a new icon and name in preparation for a "new desktop experience" that could be unveiled as soon as the E3 gaming expo next week.
