Microsoft rolls out Xbox mode to all Windows 11 PCs
Microsoft is rolling out Xbox mode, a full-screen interface for the Xbox PC app, to all Windows 11 PCs via the latest update. It evolves from a handheld debut and seeks to unify the console and PC gaming experiences.

“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.
