Microsoft is now offering the identical version of the Xbox PC app found on the ASUS ROG Xbox Ally and Ally X gaming handheld for other devices. Titled the Xbox Full Screen Experience (FSE), the app is now available in the newest Windows Insider Preview Construct, which implies that a tool should be running the present Microsoft OS. Owners of the MSI Claw will get direct access to the brand new feature today, with other OEMs launching it for his or her devices in the approaching months.
“Designed with console-style navigation in mind, the Xbox PC app paired with the total screen experience delivers a clean, distraction-free interface for handheld gaming. You’ll get smooth task switching and optimized performance, with background processes minimized and non-essential tasks deferred—so gameplay stays responsive and uninterrupted.”

The Windows Full Screen Experience isn’t exclusive to gaming handhelds and may be enabled using the identical method to offer an identical experience when playing on an Xbox console.
Directions to enable (per Microsoft):
“On supported devices, go to Settings > Gaming > Full screen experience, then select Xbox as your house app. Once enabled, you possibly can access FSE from Task View and Game Bar or configure your handheld to enter full screen experience on startup.”
The move to expand the Xbox gaming experience is but one a part of Microsoft’s ongoing strategy with its gaming division. Xbox President Sarah Bond recently concluded meetings with partners in Asia to debate plans for Xbox and its games, and offered insight into Microsoft’s collaboration with ASUS. Moreover, there’ve been updates on continued contracts with AMD for its custom APUs, which power each the Xbox Series X|S and Sony’s PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 consoles. Meanwhile, some have doubted that Microsoft will proceed to fabricate gaming consoles, but its President has consistently stated the corporate stays fully committed to latest hardware development and launches.
