A big difference between games bought in the Microsoft store and other stores is that the actual game files on the hard drive have been inaccessible to customers, and for example could not be moved to other disks.
This will soon change, reports The Verge. Jason Beaumont of Microsoft’s Xbox division confirms that an update to the Windows Xbox software will soon unlock the folders that house games from the Microsoft Store and Xbox Game Pass so players can move the files to other locations and / or add mods.
Previously, only some games supported modes via official in-game settings, but now players will be able to use the same mods as if the games were purchased in other stores.
The update to the Xbox software is expected to be released in beta before the launch of the free version of Halo Infinite’s multiplayer feature on December 8.
