Microsoft Xbox issued a notice announcing that it will abandon the Xbox console helper app on Windows on August 28, moving to the Xbox app.
The Xbox app for Windows is the location where games can be played and computer game content managed on Windows devices. Users can play games in the app whether they are an Xbox Game Pass or PC Game Pass member, or have purchased games from the Microsoft Store.
