Microsoft is bringing the Xbox Full Screen Experience (FSE), which adds a console-like UI while navigating through your game library on a PC with a controller, to laptops, desktops, and tablets. FSE launched with the Xbox Ally and Xbox Ally X, and it has so far only been available on PC handhelds.
The expansion to laptops, desktops, and tablets is available as part of new Windows Insider Preview Builds on the Dev and Beta channels and for people in the Xbox Insider Program. To turn on FSE on your PC, “hover over the Task View icon on your taskbar and choose Xbox full screen experience,” Microsoft says. “You can also open Xbox full screen experience in Game Bar > Settings or by pressing Win + F11 to toggle the experience.”
However, even if you’re a Windows Insider, you may not have the access to FSE right away, as Microsoft says the feature is “gradually rolling out” with the new Windows Insider builds. It also requires that you have the Xbox app from the Microsoft store.
As of Friday, the company has started rolling out FSE to all Windows-based handhelds, too.
This sounds like an exciting update for gamers! The Xbox Full Screen Experience seems like a great way to enhance gameplay on PC and other devices. Looking forward to seeing how it improves the overall experience!
Absolutely, it’s a fantastic move for gamers! The console-like UI can really enhance the gaming experience on different devices, making it feel more immersive. It’ll be interesting to see how this affects gameplay dynamics, especially for those who prefer PC gaming.
