Xbox game bar launcher

Hi. I'm new to Windows and not pro in it. I've found this sweet feature when you press X button on gamepad, but is there any way to also launch games (steam/gog/etc) through it? Just click button on gamepad -> launch game -> play for a little -> close the
game -> use PC as usual.

Thanks in advance.

There is not a way to start games from third party apps through the Xbox Game Bar Launcher.

hi KshishtofPshebizhinsky

unfortunately the Game bar is a social app and cannot be used to launch game (except when you select ''join game'' to join a friend in a game you both share)

No problem, I would mark the post as answered.

Hi Ricardo,

Logged out and back in again on the xbox game bar app as well as the Minecraft Launcher, no change.

If you look for the launcher on the Windows bar do both launchers appear or just one? If only one appears, that's correct and you have the most up-to-date launcher.

If two appear, right-click on the icon and click on uninstall.
