Recently, during the GDC event, Microsoft announced that the Xbox FSE (Full Screen Experience) will launch as Xbox Mode this April. That said, what should you know about it?

This mode could save up to 2GB of RAM

With Xbox Mode, Windows 11 computers will launch directly into the Xbox console interface. This saves up to 2GB of RAM because only the system required for the Xbox game mode is launched. Xbox Mode is designed to be accessed and controlled using a game controller, with users not needing to connect a mouse or keyboard.

Additionally, there are several screens for the game store, installed games, Game Pass and third-party game stores. Just press a button, and the game will launch quickly like an Xbox. After the game session is over, the owner can press the Windows+Tab key to launch the Windows desktop. This can be done without restarting the PC.

Additionally, this is a vision of gaming on Windows 11, offering a glimpse into Project Helix, announced last week. As for Project Helix, Microsoft confirmed that it will use AMD chips and that Alpha development kits will be shipped to developer studios in 2027.

Moreover, what's interesting about Project Helix is the use of the Game Development Kit (GDK), which allows developers to produce video games for PC and Xbox simultaneously. This will reduce development time and, more importantly, cost. GDK also makes it easier for older games from the Xbox Series X/S console to be played on future consoles through backward compatibility features.
