Xbox mode will begin rolling out in select markets to Windows 11 PCs, including laptops, desktops and tablets, bringing a console-inspired Xbox experience to more players than ever.

Xbox mode is designed for the moments when you want your games to take center stage on Windows 11 PCs and handhelds. Xbox mode offers a streamlined interface that puts your library and recently played titles within easy reach while minimizing background distractions.

You can also head to the site to get all the details on new ROG Xbox Ally updates, including Automatic Super Resolution (Auto SR) being available in preview for Xbox Insiders using the ROG Xbox Ally X.

When docked and connected to an external display, Auto SR delivers 1440p-like detail alongside smooth framerates on larger screens. As part of this preview, Xbox Insiders can easily control when Auto SR is applied to their games through Game Bar integration.
