Message: [QUOTE="Queen, post: 84867, member: 27"] Microsoft just flipped the Xbox switch on Windows 11 ARM, and now the company is daring everyone to rethink what an Xbox even is anymore. The Xbox everywhere pitch [LIST] [*]Microsoft is pushing the idea that every screen can be an Xbox, even if it looks nothing like the consoles from the last 20-plus years. [*]ARM-based Windows 11 devices are now officially part of that vision. [/LIST] What actually changed today [LIST] [*]The Xbox App is now live on all Windows 11 ARM-based devices. [*]ARM users can download the Xbox PC app and jump straight into their libraries instead of sitting on the sidelines. [/LIST] Game Pass compatibility reality check [LIST] [*]Game Pass works better on ARM than many expected. [*]Microsoft says more than 85 percent of the Game Pass catalog already runs on these PCs. [*]Ongoing work is happening to bring even more titles into local compatibility, so fewer games get left behind. [/LIST] Cloud gaming fills the gaps [LIST] [*]Games that refuse to cooperate locally still have a backup plan. [*]Cloud Gaming is positioned as the safety net, and Microsoft is clearly leaning into it. [*]The service recently expanded into more regions, which explains the confidence. [*]Cloud Gaming now comes with every Game Pass tier, not just the Ultimate subscription, quietly removing a long-standing paywall. [/LIST] Microsoft’s official tone [LIST] [*]The announcement leans hard on collaboration across the ecosystem. [*]Brynnan Fink and Nicole Allen frame this as Windows, Xbox, OEMs, silicon partners, and game studios all pulling in the same direction. [*]The goal is consistent Windows gaming, whether the player is on a desktop, a handheld, or an ARM-based Windows 11 laptop. [/LIST] What they are promising next [LIST] [*]Microsoft says the focus stays locked on compatibility and performance improvements. [*]Player feedback is being positioned as the driver behind every update and every new ARM-supported title. [*]The message ends on optimism, teasing more features, better support, and more games rolling out over the coming year. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
