# Port from PC (non-Steam)

> Bring a Win32 PC game from Epic, GOG, or your own launcher to XBOX and the Microsoft Store using the GDK, MSIXVC packaging, and Play Anywhere options.

If your game runs on Windows outside of Steam — Epic Games Store, GOG, standalone installer, or your own launcher — you can add XBOX and the Microsoft Store without abandoning your existing storefront.
