A new feature for windows 11, referred to as xbox mode, is being introduced, which includes a console-style gaming ui and may be related to an update that adds nearly 400 games to the xbox app. The feature is expected to be available in 2026, although some aspects of it may be available in certain windows 11 builds now. It is unclear how this feature will be implemented across different devices, as some reports mention its availability on gaming handhelds and pcs.
