New Delhi: Microsoft has recently announced its Xbox Full Screen Experiences for laptops, desktops, and tablets. FSE gives the PCs a console-style interface whenever users browse or launch games using a controller, making the experience feel more like using an Xbox rather than a traditional Windows PC. Until recently, this UI was exclusive to the ASUS ROG Xbox Ally and Xbox Ally X, which were the first devices to introduce the revamped Xbox interface. Then it was expanded to the MSI Claw handheld.
This broader rollout is happening through the latest Windows Insider Preview Builds available on both the Dev and Beta channels, as well as for the users enrolled in the Xbox Insider Program. Once the feature arrives on the user’s device, users can enable it manually. According to the company, users need to hover over the Task View icon on the user’s taskbar and choose the Xbox full-screen experience. The company also started that users can also open the Xbox full-screen experience in Game Bar > Settings or by pressing Win + F11 to toggle the experience.
However, even if the users are part of the Windows Insider Program, they might not see the option immediately. Microsoft has also noted that the feature is gradually rolling out, meaning it may take some time before it reaches all eligible PCs. Users need to make sure that they have the Xbox application installed from the Microsoft Store, as FSE depends on it to function correctly. Microsoft has also confirmed that the rollout is extending to all Windows-based handheld gaming devices. The company has begun enabling FSE on these portable systems, giving users the same full-screen console-like navigation that debuted on the Ally lineup.
