Microsoft is adding a simple label to its Xbox app for Windows that will let PC users know if a title runs well on their machine before they download it. The feature is currently limited to certain games and will be available to all users of the app.

The label should make it easier for PC owners to figure out if a game can run on their system. A performance check is being run against a variety of PC games.

There is a new label in the app.

There are a number of games that don't have the label yet and just show " performance check not available yet." Microsoft is building a database of how well PC games run.

It is not clear if the label is based on the minimum specifications for a game, the recommended ones, or other system information.

It could be an easy alternative to use third-party tools and websites if the ratings are reliable. If you are interested in trying out the new label or the ability to install PC games more freely, Microsoft is allowing everyone to do so. The only thing you need to do is download the Insider app and play a game.
