Windows handhelds are getting the new Xbox Full Screen Experience tomorrow
"Microsoft will start rolling out its new Xbox Full Screen Experience (FSE) to Windows-based handhelds on November 21st. The full screen mode for the Xbox app originally shipped on the Xbox Ally devices last month, providing a more console-like navigation experience on top of Windows 11. While Microsoft released a preview to MSI Claw models last month, it's now making the Xbox Full Screen Experience generally available to all Windows-based handhelds."
"The Xbox FSE doesn't load the full Windows desktop or a bunch of background processes, freeing up more memory for games. It's essentially not loading the Explorer shell and saving around 2GB of memory by suppressing all the unnecessary parts of a typical Windows 11 installation. If you decide to enable Xbox FSE on your handheld or PC, it will launch you straight into the Xbox PC app at boot, which includes all of your PC games from the Microsoft Store, Battle.net, Steam, and other storefronts."
Microsoft will roll out the Xbox Full Screen Experience (FSE) to Windows-based handhelds on November 21st. FSE first shipped on Xbox Ally and was previewed on MSI Claw; it is now generally available to Windows handhelds and will expand to more Windows 11 PC form factors via Xbox and Windows Insider programs. FSE suppresses the Windows desktop and Explorer shell, reduces background processes, and frees about 2GB of memory for games. Enabled devices boot directly into the Xbox PC app, aggregating games from Microsoft Store, Battle.net, Steam, and other storefronts. The interface includes a Game Bar and a handheld-optimized task view; enable it under Settings > Gaming > Full screen experience and select Xbox as the home app.
