Microsoft has detailed all of the changes in the latest update to its Xbox app for Windows PCs, which includes a couple of great new features for quickly finding games to suit your abilities and time.
Among a handful of bug fixes, the small new feature set introduces some new filters for both the Game Pass and All PC Games lists, with the former getting a handy new set of collections that gather up two important categories of games – Quick Games To Play and Longest Games. These two new collections use the average completion times of games on Xbox Game Pass to round up both the most succinct experiences for the time-poor among us (hell0) as well as the lengthiest behemoths for anyone wanting to take a week or two off work and just lose themselves in a new world.
The other new feature is a set of filters for the All PC Games list that allows players to narrow down games by a wide variety of accessibility features, making it easier for people with specific needs to quickly discover which games will be suited and comfortable for them.
