Xbox Mode is rolling out to Windows 11 PCs, bringing a full console-style home screen, unified game library, and controller-first navigation to desktops.
I’d look at it the other way around - why go to a platform that has marginally worse performance, while also making you deal with the limitations of Windows.
It’s a gaming feature, why would you not want to be able to play all games? Are you not a gamer??? Maybe this feature is not for you then and neither is this conversation.
“Are you not a gamer???” he said unironically while trying to defend a $2.75 trillion company that has laid off thousands of game developers after promising it wouldn’t in order to get approval to buy one of its biggest competitors. Just one of many attempts to solidify its dominance at the cost of gamers and the people that make games. I wonder why people “continue to hate”, it must be all those other comments that are “braindead”.
> Why would you not want to play all games?
My steam library is well over 600 games, the vast majority of games I want to play are playable on Linux. Why would I pay money for an operating system as shitty as Windows just to play a couple of games that use kernel level anti cheat. And why would I pay money for a game that demands kernel level access to my system. I honestly can’t think of a single PC game I actually want to play that I can’t.
Use whatever OS suits you, just don’t get salty when people laugh at Microsoft trying to deal with the aftermath of them pissing off a subsection of gamers and computer users over the years.
You act like Microsoft has executed your dog. It doesn’t make this feature any less useful. If you’re happy on linux, stay there? Not everything is made to suit you and your fetishes…
The sheer fact people taking my are you gamer line serious is hilarious. Do i need to put /s ? I’m sorry to hear MS lives rent free in your head.
Why, because I gave one example of how shitty they are for the game industry?
It doesn’t make this feature any less useful.
I’m not going to pat Microsoft on the back for making Windows almost as good at running Windows games as Linux/SteamOS can run Windows games, I’m going to laugh at how funny that is. That one feature also isn’t going to make the rest of the Windows experience any better.
Not everything is made to suit you and your fetishes…
Ah yes, my fetish of wanting to be able to use my computer and game without Microsoft and other companies enshittifying every bit of it.
Do I need to put the /s?
New to the internet? Surprised people you don’t know read words you wrote and they interpreted them after you claimed everyone was leaving braindead comments.

They don’t, I only commented on your reply to VeganCheesecake because I thought they made a good point and most of your comments on the post came across a bit dickish.
I am indeed a gamer. I also prefer My software to not stop me from gaming.
For example, 1/5 of my windows system is in Hungarian. This is a common problem when creating a windows iso. It is not possible to create one without leaving some trage of the last system behind. There is no fix to this.
Here’s a list of the rest:
the N version without the stuff that would be illegal in Europe cannot install media codecs from windows itself (which I can’t game without)
the menu crashes and dosent return
their central repo is just as much a scam as simply using softonic or some other shady download site
Their Game Bar along with everything else can only be uninstalled via a shady script
I had to reinstall twice in a day because my system gets in a random.updating screen without me ever prompting it to update and never stopping until I force shut it down
Or in your words: It can’t game if I install Windows (See point 1). Aren’t you a gamer??? How can’t you game without games?
Or, to not kill the few remaining braincells of the people who still have some: I’d prefer to play 99% of my library without having an aneurism than 5 more games (like, fortnite, Arena Breakout Infinite, Tarkov (Delta force also, but that game is dead)

God, what an insufferable comment.

Right, you install windows N and can’t handle it.
Skill issue.
