Xbox Game Bar gets Widget Store with support for Xsplit and more

Microsoft is adding more functionality to the Xbox Game Bar on PC. This is Windows’ built-in gaming command center. You can bring up the Game Bar at any time in a game by hitting Win+G, and now doing so will give you access to widgets for external apps as well.

The Widget Store is coming to the Xbox Game Bar today. This gives you options to plug in controls for broadcasting tools like XSplit’s Gamecaster. While Game Bar has its own recording and streaming options, many people prefer the capabilities of something like Gamecaster. But the problem with that is you may have to alt-tab out to the software to make changes. XSplit’s widget changes that.
