"Microsoft's new Xbox interface for Windows-based gaming handhelds will debut with the ROG Xbox Ally and the Xbox Ally X next month. The interface is also coming to other handhelds next year, starting with the Lenovo Legion Go 2. But it looks like handheld owners don't have to wait till 2026, as the Xbox full-screen experience can be enabled on existing Windows-based handhelds now."
"As detailed on by an ROG Ally user on the ROG Ally subreddit this week, the Windows 11 25H2 update allows older handhelds to get the Xbox full-screen experience. The Windows 11 update is available as a Release Preview version for users part of the Windows Insider program. After installing the update, users should see the Xbox full-screen experience option in Settings > Gaming, where they can enable the new interface to boot directly into it."
"Several users have now reported getting the Xbox full-screen experience early on their handhelds. Some have even started testing it out, booting the ROG Ally and MSI Claw Ai8 straight into the Xbox app. Users have also reported performance gains with the new interface enabled; the Xbox full-screen experience keeps certain Windows operations in the background to free up more memory for gaming."
Microsoft's new Xbox interface will debut with the ROG Xbox Ally and Xbox Ally X next month and will reach other handhelds next year beginning with the Lenovo Legion Go 2. The Windows 11 25H2 Release Preview enables existing Windows-based handhelds such as the ROG Ally and MSI Claw to activate the Xbox full-screen experience. The feature appears as an option in Settings > Gaming and can boot devices directly into the Xbox app. Registry Editor tweaks can enable the option for some devices but carry risk. Early testers report memory savings and performance gains when the full-screen experience is enabled.
