For years, gamers have suffered from the problem of platform fragmentation: with so many competing digital stores, from Steam to Epic to GOG and more, it’s not uncommon for users to have to maintain a huge slate of launchers and libraries in order to keep track of all their titles.

But things could be about to get better in a small way, according to a recent leak from

. The poster claimed (via a machine translation) that “Xbox has confirmed the internal tests to add Steam to the

In a

’s Insider programs over time.

They also said, “This integration will allow users to run Steam more smoothly and directly from Windows environments.”

Interestingly, @eXtas1stv believes that future Xbox hardware will be more like a PC than a console, and that “everything is going to be developed around PC environments” – an idea we’ve seen before.

These environments will need Steam integration, @eXtas1stv believes, and Steam will be available in the
