Your Windows 11 PC will soon be able to function in a way that's closer to a video game console. Microsoft plans to release 'Xbox Mode' for all Windows 11 PCs, including tablets, starting next month.
The new mode is called 'Xbox full screen experience,' and it's already available on Windows 11 gaming handhelds like the Asus ROG Xbox Ally X.
Expanding this mode to PCs might seem unusual at first. After all, an Xbox-like environment was originally designed for portable gaming. Nevertheless, Microsoft sees this feature as a convenient way for gamers to interact with their Windows 11 PCs, particularly emphasizing its controller-friendliness.
Microsoft first introduced the Xbox full screen experience to beta testers in the Windows Insider program last November. After installation, you can activate it by pressing the Windows logo key + G to open the game bar overlay and then navigating to settings to enable 'Start full screen experience.' You can also toggle this feature on or off by pressing the Windows logo key + F11.
