With the rollout of the Xbox Full Screen Experience (XFSE) now extending to all Windows handheld devices, including the likes of the Legion Go 2, the excitement surrounding this new feature is palpable. Although my own Legion Go 2 has yet to receive the update, I was able to explore the XFSE setup on my original ROG Ally and ROG Ally X. For those eager to experience XFSE on devices that haven’t yet been updated, there is a workaround that allows users to mimic the full-screen experience using a free tool.
How to make a different game launcher boot into Full Screen Experience on Windows handhelds
In my exploration, I crafted a guide that demonstrates how to replace the Xbox Full Screen Experience with a game launcher of your choice. For instance, I configured my Xbox Ally X to boot directly into Playnite’s full-screen mode upon startup. This customization opens up a world of possibilities for handheld users looking to tailor their gaming experience.
How to exit Full Screen Experience and go to Windows desktop
One of the appealing aspects of the Windows Full Screen Experience is its flexibility. Users can exit this mode at any time and return to the familiar Windows desktop. Here’s a simple guide to do just that:
- While in Full Screen Experience, swipe up from the bottom of the screen.
- Tap on Windows desktop.
- Select Continue.
Following these steps will seamlessly transition you back to the standard Windows desktop, allowing you to utilize your handheld as you would any other Windows PC.
