The Microsoft Store’s Xbox App is finally allowing you to install games into any folder and mod games.
Microsoft is planning to roll out an update that permits users to install a game from Xbox Game Pass or the Microsoft Store into any file of their choosing, allowing you to move files around and access those same files for modding. As reported by The Verge, this is a planned update that is currently being tested internally, so there’s no date yet on when we can expect a full release, but when it is rolled out this should fix several issues that many users have had with Xbox Game Pass for PC because of the previous restrictions. Currently, you’re prevented from having full control over game downloads, which prevented users from moving or backing up existing files Other launchers and storefronts like Steam will back up your games to prevent any progress from disappearing if you need to install a new version of Windows or accidentally lose something when rearranging files. This is an incredible feature, not just for peace of mind, but also for continuing your progress across different devices that have your account connected.
