Microsoft rolls out Xbox mode to all Windows 11 PCs

TL;DRAI · 60 sec read

Microsoft is now rolling out its Xbox mode to all Windows 11 PCs. The new Xbox mode adds a full-screen interface to the Xbox PC app, much like Steam’s Big Picture Mode.

“Some players in select markets will be able to download the Xbox mode experience today, with availability expanding to more players in those markets over the next several weeks,” says the Xbox team. Users can access Xbox mode by installing the latest Windows update for Windows 11.

Xbox mode originally debuted as the Xbox Full Screen Experience with Asus’ Xbox Ally devices. “Since first introducing Xbox mode, formerly known as ‘full screen experience,’ on Windows handhelds, we’ve been listening closely to player feedback and continuing to evolve the experience across devices,” says the Xbox team. “Those learnings directly shaped Xbox mode on Windows 11 PCs.”

The mode aims to bridge the gap between Xbox consoles and Windows.
