Leaked build shows fullscreen Xbox interface on Windows
Reporting on Sept. 17 revealed a leaked Windows build that includes an “Xbox fullscreen” mode aimed at handheld and small-screen gaming. The leak suggests Microsoft is experimenting with a streamlined, TV-style experience that could better suit PC handhelds and docked play.

Implications for Xbox ecosystem and device makers
If confirmed, the mode would tighten integration between Windows and Xbox services and could spur hardware makers to optimise handheld form factors. Observers said Microsoft may test the feature before a wider rollout to gather developer and user feedback.
