Microsoft has
officially announced that the Xbox (Beta) app for Windows 10 PCs is now enabling support for mods in games that choose to do so. The feature was
spotted last week, but Microsoft has now made it official, along with a short list of supported games.
As previously reported, Microsoft isn't offering its own mod distribution platform, and instead, it's using a "bring-your-own-mod" approach, so you can download your mods elsewhere and apply them to supported games. The company has also provided a list of games that are available through the Microsoft Store that already support mods, including
DiRT Rally 2.0,
Farming Simulator 17,
FTL: Faster Than Light,
Into the Breach, and
MudRunner. Microsoft says it's working with its partners to bring mod support for more games over time, and it looks like the free-to-play
Phantasy Star Online 2 already supports them as well.
