Please pardon my technical ignorance here but I’m curious: what is stopping Microsoft from rolling out Windows 11 and Xbox Full Screen Experience/Xbox Mode to Xbox Series X|S?
This is probably an idiotic question for folks with the technical insight as to why this is impossible (or idiotic), but why? Isn't my Xbox Series X more powerful than my ROG Xbox Ally X?
Have you used Xbox full screen experience over Windows 11 it’s rough

Likely RAM. The Ally X has 24 GB.

Xbox consoles are based on the same os but still use a different branch all together, it’s like red apples and green apples, same thing but different flavor

tl;dr You would be playing PC games at lower settings than the Xbox version, and the amount of engineering to pull it off wouldn’t be worth it.
This is one of the times where I wish the hardware were more open so people could just install Windows or Linux on it. Would be an interesting project even if it weren’t necessarily practical.

Not enough support staff to deal with the chaos that would ensue.

This is a thought I also had. I bet they don’t want to put in this full screen experiencd

The fact that FSE is kinda crap, especially from mid-to-low end hardware? It’s just the bad ol’ windows, except explorer and a bunch of things won’t get loaded at boot and the Xbox app runs full screen. Trust me, you won’t like the performance. Xbox runs on something that is based on windows but it’s really optimized to make you play games and nothing more, that’s why it works.
PS: Anyway i doubt that many Xbox console gamers would be happy with the switch, if they aren’t PC gamers there must be a reason.

Xbox mode is bad, just like Windows 11 it’s a product that has taken years to get usable.
