Microsoft’s Xbox app on Windows 11 now has a compact mode. It’s part of changes designed for smaller screens and handheld gaming PCs.
Microsoft has started testing new updates to its Xbox app on Windows 11 that improve the experience on handheld devices and smaller screens. In an Xbox test app released earlier this week, Microsoft has introduced a new compact mode that greatly reduces the sidebar on the left-hand side. Compact mode is designed to improve “the experience on handhelds and small screens,” according to Microsoft.
This gaming shell was simply a prototype, built before devices like the ROG Ally and Lenovo’s Legion Go were announced. Asus’ ROG Ally is now emerging as the portable Xbox for PC Game Pass. Even Xbox chief Phil Spencer is a fan of the ROG Ally, describing the handheld as his “Xbox on the go” in an interview with Eurogamer earlier this year. There is still so much that Microsoft could do to improve the experience, though.
