The company believes that next-generation games should be created primarily for PC.

At the Game Developers Conference 2026, Microsoft told developers that in the future the best way to "make games for Xbox" is to "make them for PC".

Xbox Vice President Jason Ronald also spoke about another step aimed at closer integration of the console ecosystem with PC. According to him, the Xbox FSE (Full Screen Experience) interface, which is already used in ROG Xbox Ally and ROG Xbox Ally X portable devices, will begin to be rolled out to all Windows 11 devices as early as April 2026. First, the function will appear in certain regions, after which it will be launched globally.

This interface will allow players to "seamlessly switch between work and play", getting a full-screen Xbox experience optimized for the controller, while maintaining the openness of the Windows ecosystem.

We see that PC is becoming an increasingly important part of the Xbox experience. We are bringing the best elements of Xbox directly to Windows to make it a great operating system for gaming.
