The update also allows players to share game clips and Xbox Live screenshots directly to Twitter from the Xbox app.

Microsoft opening up part of the Xbox Live ecosystem to non-Windows 10 games is a big deal, and while it’s pretty limited at the moment, it’s officially here in the latest version of the Xbox app (beta).

Few games are supported at the moment and it will take some time for the available content to fill up. Still, you can start finding and tracking your favorite non-Windows 10 PC games right now.

Here’s how to do it:

1. Look in the sidebar for the new ‘Find a game’ option.
2. Type your favorite title in the search box.
3. If it is supported, you will see it as available on PC as shown in the image above.
4. Select the game and you’ll be presented with a Game Hub just like you would with Xbox One games.
5. To follow all future activities, click on the “Follow” button in the “Info” tab.

So far we have seen support for this feature by Overwatch, Battlefield 4, Overwatch, Ark: Survival Evolved, and Rainbow Six Siege, although there are likely many more. It will take some time for these to be filled out, but we’ve seen clips downloaded from the PC edition of Overwatch before, and the experience is indistinguishable from someone doing the same on the Xbox One.

Just as it should be.
